PRAY WITH US about Catholic-drug cartel negotiations, that God will:
- Show that no weapon formed against His people shall prosper. Instead, arm His people with divine power to demolish the entrenched strongholds of the druglords. And frustrate the cartels plans to take other territories. But rather to disarm them.
- Raise up government leaders who will stand against the cartels with the help of neighboring countries. Break down the network of cartel influence stretching from the US to South America. And bust up the human trafficking rings that travel with them.
- Free the captives to ganglords all around the Americas. Help them find Jesus Christ as their true Lord. And free the teacher and six congregation members kidnapped last week in front of a Port-au-Prince school. Also lead nations to help restore and enforce the rule of law in Haiti. And bring the assassins of the former President Jovenal Moise to justice, whoever they may be.

Already cartel hitmen have killed nine priests in the past five years who talked too much.
Even the popular resort state of Quintana Roo has seen cartels fight over its territory. Only two week ago, six cartel members got arrested for hacking five people to death in Cancun…
