Colombia: In Search of a New Home (The Persecution of Paez Christians)
Colombia: In Search of a New Home (The Persecution of Paez Christians)
When you see the joy of the indigenous Paez Christians from the Nasa tribe in southern Colombia, it's hard to imagine all that they have had to endure because of their faith in Jesus Christ. These evangelical believers were driven from their land because of their conviction to follow the teachings of God rather than engaging in practices that go against His Word. Many have paid a huge price for remaining faithful to the Lord. You'll be inspired by the devotion and perseverance of these followers of Christ and, at the same time, encouraged to hear how Christians in other parts of the world are helping them during their time of need.

- Pray for Colombia
Please uphold all those in Colombia who’ve been victimized through acts of violence, asking the Lord to meet their needs, heal them of their brokenness, and bring about renewed hope and restoration. Also intercede for their persecutors so that they, too, will witness the love of Christ and experience His forgiveness and salvation.
