Violence Increases in Juarez

You may have seen in the news (or read here) that Juarez is currently a very rough town. In recent months, the murder rate there has increased considerably. Other crimes, most notably car theft and armed robberies, are also on the rise.

The Mexican Lutheran Church has a congregation in Juarez. Unfortunately, due to the violence, no pastors reside there at the moment.

Please join us in praying for the members of the Juarez congregation. Ask that God would protect them and keep them strong in his Word. We also pray that the violence decreases soon so that a Mexican pastor can live there again.
