How to pray for churches in Juárez, Mexico

Where I sit right now in Albuquerque, NM is just a mere four hours away from what many have said is the most dangerous city in the world right now: Juarez, Mexico.  The accounts of the atrocities taking place there because of drug war violence are staggering.  Dave Harvey has a great post today on how to pray for the many churches in Juarez that are being affected right now by the violence.  He writes:
You may have seen reports of the murders of three people associated with the U.S. Consulate in Juárez, Mexico, earlier this month. Sadly, these are among the latest of thousands of murders in the city of Juárez and elsewhere in Mexico as the country battles drug traffickers. The weekend of the Consulate shootings, 28 other people were murdered in Juárez alone. Stunning doesn’t quite capture it; it’s devastating, a social shock to the people of Juárez.

We recently received some updates and prayer requests from Iglesia Gracia Soberana de Cd. Juárez, the Sovereign Grace church in that city, and wanted to pass them along to you. Will you join us in praying for believers in Juárez?
