Guerrillas Burn Bibles

[283] prayers in [19] nations have been posted for Rolo.

Guerrilla fighters burned 60 illustrated Bibles recently and banned the Bibles from their territory, according to a front-line worker in Colombia. The worker, known as Rolo, has distributed Bibles in some of Colombia’s most dangerous regions for years. When guerrilla guards first saw the illustrated Bibles, they assumed they were harmless books for kids, enabling Rolo to carry them into highly restricted areas for Christians. “Someone in leadership actually read it, though,” a VOM worker said, “and they began alerting other guerrilla groups that the books were ‘Christian propaganda.’” Pray that God’s Word will continue to make its way into the hands of Christians living under guerrilla oppression.

  • Psalm 1
    4 Not so the wicked!
    They are like chaff
    that the wind blows away.
    5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
    nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
    6 For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
    but the way of the wicked will perish.

  • Holy Spirit, hide the Bibles from the sight of the guerrilas so workers may get Bibles to those that don't have them. Hide Your Word in the hearts of everyone that reads those Bibles that they will have Your Word with them even if the Bibles are taken away. Shelter the workers under your wings, guiding their steps. Get guerrillas to readbelieve Bible.
