“See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them as their God;
they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe every
tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will
be no more, for the first things have passed away.”       -Rev. 21:3b-4

Prayers for Peacemakers, April 24, 2013

Pray for forty villages near the Urra dam in Tierralta, Cordoba, Colombia, visited by Christian Peacemaker Teams. May God work in their organizing in defense of their communities from armed groups, resource extraction interests and Phase 2 of the dam megaproject.
