“Red Zone” Pastor Requests Prayer for Sick Daughter

Teoboldo and Denise minister in one of Colombia’s “red zones,” areas dominated by guerrilla violence and illicit activity associated with illegal drug trade. They have been threatened and confined to their house; at other times, they have been forced to cancel worship services because of threats. They’ve had friends killed for refusing to comply with the warnings from guerrillas, yet they remain faithful amid the risk. “This is the area where God has placed us. That is where we are going to stay until God tells us otherwise,” Teoboldo said. The couple has three children, but their middle child died two years ago from complications during heart surgery. Their youngest child, age 6, was recently diagnosed with a heart problem and may need a procedure to repair it. The couple asked for prayer that she will be completely healed and that the procedure will be unnecessary.
