Prayers for Peacemakers December 3, 2014

Pray for the community of El Guayabo, who are feeling
discouraged that the Colombian authorities appear to be taking no action to
address the illegal eviction of October 29, 2014 when riot police removed the community’s school teacher from his home. The powerful landowner Rodrigo Lopez
Henao who took control of the house added additional armed men to guard it on Tuesday
evening.

 Epixel for Sunday, December 7, 2014
Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will
speak peace to his
 people, to his faithful, to those who turn to him in their
hearts.
Surely his salvation is at hand for those
who fear him, that his glory may
 dwell in our land.
Steadfast love and faithfulness will
meet; righteousness and peace will kiss
 each other.
Psalm 85:8-10
