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.

Christian Peacemaker Teams – Colombia
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

Across the occupied West Bank including major cities like Hebron (Al-Khalil), Nablus, Ramallah, and many towns and villages, Israeli forces have significantly increased the installation of heavy metal gates and military checkpoints at entrances to Palestinian communities. These gates have become symbols of fragmentation, control, and hardship in the lives of ordinary Palestinians.
