Operation World : Pray for Mexico : Pray into and against the massive drug trade and gang violence that accompanies it. Drug trafficking is big business in Mexico – thanks to both the USA’s insatiable habit (and to a lesser degree, Europe’s) and Mexico’s own growing troubles. This illicit trade fuels and enables other structures of sin – the cartels have expanded their activities to human trafficking, kidnapping, extortion, and even avocados and limes.
* The 500,000-plus addicts, whose number has grown rapidly due to increasing availability of cheap drugs. Mexico is poorly positioned to cope with the number of addicts in terms of prevention, treatment and ministry to those afflicted.
* The wealthy, powerful cartels that control it are ruthless. Most of their violence is directed toward each other, but police, armed forces, journalists and helpless citizens also die at their hands. Pray for a way to reach out to the cartel leaders and members.
* The government and police face great difficulties in combating the drug trade and those who run it. Informers and corruption undermine the effort, and fear of the heavily armed gangs prevents decisive action. Pray for courage and wisdom in dealing with these great challenges. https://operationworld.org/prayer-calendar/08-29/#mexico
