Story number 3 for 5 Jan 2000

A mission group is alarmed at the growing reports of violence and kidnappings
aimed at believers in Colombia. Latin America Mission says many key Christian
leaders are still being threatened and some churches have lost their pastors to the
violence. LAM asks that other believers pray for the protection of their missionaries
and pastors working in the country. Several are developing ministries to help the
refugees displaced by the fighting and those affected by natural disasters.
