Colombia has a population of approximately 49 million people, within 1.1 million square kilometers. Its capital Santa Fe de Bogota houses just over six million people. Colombia is South America's fourth largest country.
Colombia's primary language is Spanish.
After years of persecution and discrimination against religious minorities, the high position of the Roman Catholic Church ended in 1991.
Colombia's main exports are coffee, oil, and cocaine.
Prayer Requests for Colombia:
1. Colombia is a very violent country. Pray for the violence to stop and for safety.
2. Pray that the dis-establishment of the Catholic Church will open the way for renewal of faith.
3. Pray for the missionaries to Colombia.
4. Pray for the less evanglized cities, such as Medellin.
5. A large number of Colombian's have seen the Jesus Film. Pray that this film is available for other Colombian's to see and that it has an impact on their lives.
