Tensions in South America between Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela are easing following a diplomatic row.
It was sparked when Colombia launched an attack inside Ecuador that killed the second-in-command of the rebel group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).
Both Ecuador and Venezuela responded to the incursion by sending troops to their borders with Colombia.
A meeting between the presidents of all three countries defused the crisis and Venezuela has now restored diplomatic ties, although Ecuador has yet to follow suit.
Give thanks that talks have calmed tensions but pray for efforts to continue the rapprochement between the countries.
Pray also for our partners in Colombia who have to work in difficult security conditions.
