[edit] Life

• Colombia retains its reputation for being one of the most violent countries in the world. Leftist guerrilla movements, right-wing paramiitary groups and the drug-trafficking barons control many areas of the country. Corruption, blackmail, kidnapping, assassination and revenge murders continue to brutalize society, with the abandonment of moral values and ethical standards. Pray for the political, legal and spiritual leaders of the nation — for their safety and for courage to stand up for the right. Pray that Christians may remain untainted by the evils of their society and become God's instruments for moral, social and spiritual change. Pray that the endemic fear and anger of normal Colombians may lead them to personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour.

• Satan's hold on Colombia must be broken by prayer. Christ’s lordship must be proclaimed over the spirits of violence, revenge, lawlessness and corruption, and occult practices that have brought the nation so low. The web that links drug barons, politicians, guerrillas, paramilitaries and Satanist groups conspires to make war upon the saints, and prevent the spread of the gospel. This usually occurs through intimidation, but often through outright destruction and murder.

[edit] Mission and Evangelization

• The Church is growing rapidly in a climate of crime, lawlessness, terror, and murder. Evangelicals grew to nearly 5% in 2000, and Charismatics now number an estimated 17% of the population. This growth is all the more miraculous considering that Christians are often targets of drug cartels, guerrillas, paramilitaries, and others. As sin increases in Colombia, God’s grace increases all the more.
