Rioting in Nicaragua

We ask that you would all pray for the people here in Nicaragua. The president, Daniel Ortega, has only been in office a little over a year, and has continually tried to seize power, suppress freedom and turn this democratic country into a communist state. His latest act was to suspend elections in RAAN, one of the autonomous regions on the coast. Tensions have been running high, and this week the people on the coast responded with rioting and protests. The value of the currency here continues to drop and freedom of the press continues to be threatened through use of physical force and lawsuits. Pray for peace, wisdom and patience for all here.
