Stand with Justapaz
Ask your congregation to sign a letter in support of Justapaz, a ministry of the Mennonite Church of Colombia and a long-term partner of Mennonite Central Committee (MCC).
Background: On July 14, Justapaz was named in a death threat by an armed group in Colombia, part of a troubling increase in death threats and assassinations in recent months in Colombia. Justapaz is asking congregations throughout the U.S. and elsewhere to sign a letter of support. This is an important way to be in solidarity with Justapaz and others in Colombia working for peace and justice.
Background from Justapaz | A call for hope and continued peacebuilding from Colombia
Faith reflection: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." (Matthew 5:9)
Action:
- Ask your congregation to sign the letter of support by sending an email to just...@justapaz.org or colom...@mcc.org. (Only congregations and organizations can sign, not individuals.)
- Share this request with others.

the brighter the stars,
The deeper the grief,
the closer is God!”

Music and Jesus is my escape,
from the BS in life.
Holding on is believing that
there's a past;
letting
go is knowing that there's a future."
