Prayers for Peacemakers June 3, 2015 Colombia

Pray for the Colombia team’s partner Cahucopana and the
communities it works with in northeast Antioquia who have been heavily affected
by the renewed fighting between the Colombian government and the FARC
guerillas. Residents of the communities have decided to stay in the territory
to defend their livelihood and have asked the national government to stop bombing
the region and seek a negotiated solution to the conflict.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve me against the wrath of my enemies;
you stretch out your hand, and your right hand delivers me. Psalm 138:6-7

David Leaman
