24% of the World's most dangerous cities are in Mexico!
"Where sin abounds, grace abounds much more." - Romans 5:20

Nearly a quarter of the world's most dangerous cities are located in Mexico according to a recent study conducted by Citizens Counsel on Public Security and Justice.
For the third year in a row, Ciudad Juarez located just across from El Paso, Texas in the state of Chihuahua is the world's most dangerous city! Last year Ciudad Juarez reported over 3,000 homocides (229 for every 100,00 inhabitants) ahead of Kandahar, Afghanistan (169.9). Ten additional Mexican cities made the top 50 list. Interestingly enough, Mexico City did not even appear on the list! Mexico City has 7.6 homocides per 100,000 inhabitants, far below Bagdad with 22 per 100,000.
Please pray for Mexico that many would find their security in the Lord Jesus. The apostol Paul taught that "where sin abounds, grace abounds much more".
This is our prayer as we see the church grow in the midst of much insecurity, increasing unemployment and inflation. May many seek the Lord while he may be found! |
