Venezuela's evangelicals: 'It's time to fast and pray'

Venezuelan evangelical leaders are calling believers in the country to a week of fasting and prayer after President Trump's dramatic intervention in their nation's life.

In a statement issued by the Evangelical Council of Venezuela (known by its Spanish abbreviation, CEV), its directors state: "The Church is called to be a community and a space of hope, comfort, and spiritual strength. In the midst of uncertainty, gathering to pray, sing, affirm the faith, and proclaim the Word of God is an act of trust in God and a source of encouragement for many.

"We call on all affiliated and related organizations and churches to a special week of fasting and prayer for Venezuela. May each community, according to its possibilities, join in a cry for peace, justice, and the healing of our nation."
