Christian Solidarity Worldwide
An evangelical pastor died on 10 August, after being shot multiple times in his home in Bajo Cauca Antioquia, northern Colombia.
Pastor Salcedo leaves behind a wife and two young children, as well as the church he led as part of the Movimiento Misionero Mundial group of churches. The motive for the attack is not yet known. It is thought to be linked to a protest that took place two days prior to the pastor’s death when around 1,000 Protestants and Catholics called for the restoration of peace in the region.
