On November 4, Father Saulo Carreño, 41, and hospital employee Maritza Linares were driving near Sarare Hospital in Saravena when two men approached on a motorcycle and began shooting. Both occupants of the car were killed.
In a separate incident that night, Father Enrique Lopez, age 44, was bound, gagged, and stabbed to death in his home in Villavicencio. His body was found the next morning by his housekeeper. According to the bishop, there were no known threats against him.
Pray for safety for Christian leaders serving in troubled areas of Colombia. Pray for a resolution to the long-standing conflict and pray that the rebels will stop targeting civilians and religious leaders.
