Prayers for Peacemakers 5 October 2016   Colombia 

Pray for those in living in Colombia’s conflict zones:
campesinos, indigenous peoples, displaced people and Afro-Colombians, most of
whom voted overwhelmingly in favor for the peace referendum, which was defeated on Sunday.  Pray for Christian Peacemaker Teams-Colombia
and their partners on the ground: human rights workers, peace activists,
women’s rights activists, labor rights activists, etc.  They are heartbroken and their future is
uncertain.

For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried.
you brought us into the net; you laid burdens on our backs; Psalms 66:10-11
