Colombia
Map It Monday
Today we place our map of the South American country of Colombia on our refrigerator.
Our Prayer:
"Lord, we pray that You would shine Your unfading glory on the country of Colombia. May all who believe on Him not perish, but have eternal life in You, Amen."
Stats and Facts Tuesday
In area, Colombia is bigger than Texas and smaller than
Alaska. Colombia’s population is about 45 million.
Northwest corner of South America. The fourth-largest country on the continent. Mountains in west; plains, forests and jungles in east.
Population: 46,300,196
Challenge for Prayer
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 as well as the occult practices that have brought the nation so low. The web of drug barons, guerrillas, paramilitaries, corrupt politicians and occult groups generates great violence against the saints through intimidation, property destruction, murder and assassination. Every year, dozens of pastors and priests are killed.
Our Prayer:
"Oh Lord we ask that You would bring the gospel of peace to the people of Colombia. Peace among all of the different people groups and those vying for power in Colombia. Help the Colombian church to seek peace and pursue it, while praying for more to receive life eternal. We ask You to be Lord of all in the nation of Colombia."
Walk in My Shoes Wednesday
Today we want to focus on the Marxist guerrillas in the beautiful country of Colombia. Here is a brief overview of the difficulties these guerrillas can cause.
Colombian Guerrilla Groups
Our Prayer:
"Jesus, we pray for those who persecute us and despitefully use us. We ask that You would reach all of those who belong to the guerrilla groups. Lord we ask that you be with all people that have been affected by these rebels. Bring healing and wholeness to the Colombian people and set them free. Amen."
Take Action Thursday
Today, take a moment to register and download the Kids of Courage Columbia activity booklet. In this booklet, there are stories, factual information, and hands on activities for children. We intend to make the Colombian flag and sing "Jesus Loves Me", in Spanish.
Our Prayer:
"Jesus, we ask that You would shine in all of Your glory upon Colombia today. We want to see a real move of God in the people of Colombia. We want to see people who are not given to fear because that have come to know the love of Jesus. Help those who are persecuted to stand up under the persecution and to proclaim the truth of the gospel. May Your Eternal and Unfading glory shine in Colombia. Amen."
