COLOMBIA 

WHAT CSW IS DOING TO HELP COLOMBIA

- CSW will continue to research and reveal claims of persecution so as to advocate on behalf of those who are suffering, in addition to networking with other organizations whose focus is on serving the Christians in this region. 

- Christians in Colombia will continue to be mentioned in our prayer calendar. As we receive updates we will publish them on our website and/or in future issues of Outcry.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

You can PRAY

Please pray for a peaceful resolution to the conflict that has taken so many lives in Colombia. Pray that multi-national corporations, the Colombian government and the international community would make human rights and peace a top priority. Ask God to protect those who are standing up for human rights.
