CPT Borderlands

Pray that migrants will be protected from Border Patrol and Mexican cartels alike.

Pray for strong women everywhere who are finding creative ways to support their families.

Pray for the safety and physical and emotional health of everyone who walks through the gate of the CRM.

Pray that one day soon the border will re-open and people can again request asylum and no longer live in danger.

Pray that officials will permanently stop the construction and that “not another foot” of the wall will be built.

Give thanks for the volunteers who are working many hours every day to provide food, first aid, and emotional support to the migrants.
