Colombia has the highest rate of disappearances and killings in the world, with 25-30 pastors killed every year. In the past few years alone, hundreds of church leaders have been assassinated. But in the midst of this terrifying and unstable situation, there are beacons of light and hope – brave people who set out to defend the oppressed! You can give them the tools to do this, by funding a day of training in how to document human rights abuses, work effectively with the media, and give religious freedom violations international attention.
