We give thanks for the rescue of fifteen hostages previously held by FARC guerrillas in Colombia.
We give thanks for the ministry of the Colombia Accompaniment Program, a partnership between the Presbyterian Church in Colombia, the World Mission office of the PC(USA) and the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship. The Presbyterian Peacemaking Program provides educational material and promotional support.
Current accompanier, Susan Webb has posted a reflection, "On being an accompanier." She reflects on the ministry of accompaniment, identifies on many of its rich dimensions, and concludes that it is a spiritual matter: "It’s about being there as wholly and fully as possible, present to God’s movement within you and those you came to stand beside."
