Prayers for Peacemakers, October 12, 2016

Give thanks for seven new CPTers who recently completed training
in the Czech Republic and the fresh energy they will bring to teams working in
the field. Pray for their strength and wisdom as they join our Indigenous,
Palestinian, Kurdish, and Colombian partners and partners working with refugees
and migrants to transform violence through the nonviolent power of God’s truth.

*Epixel for Peacemakers October 16, 2016

The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade at your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.
The LORD will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life.
The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in from this time on and forevermore. Psalm 121:5-8
