Christians in Colombia are taking great risks to share the gospel in some of the most dangerous places for Christians on earth. Working in these hostile areas often results in persecution from armed guerrillas and paramilitary forces.

A front-line worker in Colombia reported that he has lost contact with several pastors in the Sucre area in recent months. The state of Sucre is one of Colombia’s ‘red zones’, where Marxist guerrillas and paramilitaries exercise violent control over large areas. These groups have recently imposed new restrictions against Christians and churches.

    Pray for them

    Pray for the safety of the pastors in the area. Ask for the Lord’s shield of protection to be over them and their families.

    Pray also that front-line workers would be wise in knowing how to support Christian brothers and sisters who live under the threat of these violent groups.

    Praise God for the faithfulness of His servants who are sharing the gospel in such a dangerous area. Pray they may know the Lord’s nearness and leading.
