PRAY WITH US for 87,000 Mexicans still missing, that God will:
- Help the National Search Commission find many more of the missing. Protect them from retaliation by the Mexican authorities. And help friends and families of to find Him as the God of all comfort in any kind of distress.
- Bring more of these cases to light in a way that the authorities can no longer ignore them. And move government officials to renounce all ties to cartels.
- Do such a deep work in Mexico that many turn to Jesus instead of cartels for their sustenance and protection. Undermine more and more cartel operations until they can no longer operate. And show Mexico hows to finally break its deadly addiction to dreg dealing. In Jesus’ name, amen.
PRAYER ALERT: 87,000 Mexicans Still Missing, Case of 43 Students Solved
Mexico’s National Search Commission reports that in the past 16 years, 87555 people have disappeared in Mexico. That amounts to an average of 16 disappeared per day. Most think that drug cartels killed them and then burned them or dumped them into shallow graves.
But others also suspect police and other authorities were involved. That makes tracing the killers dangerous. Those investigating may also “disappear” or face threats without recourse to the law.
The most notorious kidnapping—of 43 Rural Teachers College students riding buses—occurred in 2014. Newly released texts between a deputy police chief and a cartel leader have brought the incident to light. They show that the students mistakenly flagged down buses carrying cartel heroin to the US border.
The police arrested 38 students and handed them over to the Guerreros Unidos cartel. The cartel’s then-local leader, Gildardo Lopez Astudillo, said he “had beds to terrorize” and bury those students in. But most people don’t realize they represent only a small fraction of those still missing throughout Mexico.
