Prayers for Peacemakers June 25, 2014

Pray that now Colombians have re-elected Juan Manuel Santos,
he will follow through, via negotiations with the FARC and ELN guerilla groups, on his commitment to end the decades-long civil war in
Colombia.

“The prophets who preceded you and me from ancient times
prophesied war, famine, and pestilence
against many countries and great
kingdoms.  As for the prophet who prophesies peace, when the
word of that prophet
comes true, then it will be known that the LORD has truly sent the
prophet.”
