Prayers for Peacemakers, April 10, 2014

Pray for the safety of Sor María Sampayo, a leader of the
Organización Femenina Popular (OFP) in Colombia, who received a threatening
phone call this week from someone who identified himself as Alirio Torresa,
commander of the neo-paramilitary group Los Urabeños. The members of the OFP are long-time
partners of CPT’s Colombia team.
