Who they are
The Zoogocho Zapotec are an Indigenous community originally from the Sierra Norte of Oaxaca in southern Mexico. Known for their rich musical traditions and supportive community life, they preserve their own language variety and continue farming the mountain land. Although a Christian heritage is part of local history, many still seek a living, life-changing understanding of the gospel message.
