Pray for our brothers and sisters in Nicaragua and CRCNA staff and partner missionaries who have been serving in that country. Since the middle of April, there have been nationwide demonstrations against the government of Nicaragua. As the demonstrations have broadened violence has escalated through gangs and criminals that have taken advantage of the situation. Please pray for your missionaries as they process unplanned travel, uncertain circumstances, and an unknown future for their ministry. Pray also for the people in Nicaragua who struggle each day with providing for basic needs like food and water and face danger from increasing violence and lawlessness. Pray for peace, resolution, and lasting change.
