A recent upsurge in fighting in Colombia has left much of the country demanding peace. This, in response to some of the worst clashes in months between leftist rebels and security forces near Bogota over the weekend. ABWE's Bob Trout says, while their church planting work has not really been affected by the violence, the body of Christ in Bogota is seeing more response to their efforts. "I think the people are just looking for peace. We've noted in the last period of years, a growing concern on the part of our national brethren for the peace of the country-on the part of our brethren getting tired of the pressure under which they live. It's a difficult situation to live under. They still are desirous of serving the Lord. Of course, the peace that will come will come through knowing the Prince of Peace, our Savior." Trout and his family are staying at D & D Missionary Homes in Florida while they are in the United States.
