(Colombia)–Another pastor is singled out and assassinated in Colombia. The Evangelical Council of Colombia says gunmen murdered Reverend Jose’ Lozada Corteza in front of bystanders, after pulling him off a public bus. Authorities think the shooters were members of an illegal armed group fighting the country’s government. Please pray for the safety those in ministry, as they appear to be targeted by the rebels because of the message and peace of the Gospel.
