Day of prayer and action for Colombia
by Mennonite Central CommitteePrint Article Email to a Friend
Mennonite Central Committee invites Mennonites to join congregations across the United States, Canada and Colombia as they pray for an end to the Colombian conflict and act for policy changes that reflect God’s kingdom values. April 27 is the Day of Prayer when congregations will join in worship, reflection and prayer with Colombian brothers and sisters who endure great suffering and still respond with faith, sowing seeds of peace. April 28 is the Day of Action for churches to publicly witness by calling on U.S. and Canadian policy officials to promote peace and justice in Colombia. Action involves speaking with government officials, writing advocacy letters, holding public vigils and sharing stories in church from the second report on international humanitarian law and human rights violations against church and church members in 2006, available from Andrea Mendes at 717-859-1151 or AndreaMendes@mcc.org.—MCC
