This week's persecuted church: Columbia
The indigenous Kogui community in Columbia has a population of 11,000 with only 120 of them being Christian. Kogui governors have repeatedly threatened to expel them from their land, and a group of Christians were forced to leave the reserve a few years ago. At a recent meeting called by the governor, 16 Christians were taken prisoner and the leaders verbally abused them throughout the night. They took the group to a more remote area where they would be held prisoners until they renounced their faith. Two of the infants being held are now seriously ill. The Kogui Christians are not protected by the Columbian government and have no guarantee of religious freedom.
Ghetto fabulous!
