Please be in prayer for the border conflict between Costa Rica and Nicaragua. As I mentioned in November, Nicaragua invaded our northern pacific border and even with the World Court telling Nicaragua to get out, they have not left.
They are drudging the river and have caused major damage to Costa Rica’s land that can’t be repaired. It continues on. They are calling it a serious conflict, in which if Costa Rica does not enforce the security of the border that this will only be the beginning of worse to come. However, they don’t have the money to enforce the border nor to even train the police. (We don’t have an army here.)
They are saying that there are talks with Canada and the US to send troops down as soon as we might need them. People are on edge here because it’s beginning to look like war could be something looming in the not too far future.
Please pray for a peaceful solution and a quick one. Pray that lives will not be lost in this conflict. Pray for the leadership of this country and those involved in how to proceed. There is a meeting in Mexico in the next several days to discuss more of this.
