Prayers for Peacemakers, April 23, 2014

Pray for those attending CPT’s European Convergence this
weekend in Aalsmeer, Netherlands and those participating in the solidarity
witness with refugees and asylum-seekers at the Border
Prison in Schiphol, Netherlands.
Ask that creative new strategies arise out of the gathering that will
help CPT-Europe address the life and death issues of immigration at Europe’s
borders.
