Days of Prayer and Action for Colombia

In 2008, approximately 300 churches in North America joined with our Colombian sisters and brothers to pray and act for peace. On April 19th and 20th this year, you and your faith community can be a part of this exciting activity.

Here you can download materials for the Days of Prayer and Action for Colombia, including the Witness for Peace organizing packet. The materials in the packet will help you to organize for both the day of prayer (April 19th) and for the day of action (April 20th). Please feel free to duplicate and distribute all of the materials included in the packet. The packet includes background information, sample sermons, prayers and liturgies, resources for the Day of Action and much, much more.

If your faith community is interested in participating, please email jess@witnessforpeace.org.

To get started, download our 2009 Days of Prayer and Action Organizing Packet, a promotional poster (originals available in hardcopy upon request) and a bulletin insert.
