A week and a half ago BridgeBuilders gathered some 200 determined Christians to pray in Douglas, Arizona, that what was hidden in darkness along the Douglas/Aqua Prieta region of the border would be brought to the light.
We prayed for God's protection over law enforcement and that drugs, weapons and sex trafficking would be brought to a halt. Again God gave us a huge victory with the capture and arrest this Tuesday of the father-in-law of Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman!
Mexican Federal Police arrested without a shot fired, Ines Coronel Barreras, 45. Coronel was detained in Agua Prieta, just across the border from Douglas, Arizona, along with a 25-year-old son and three other men. Interior Deputy Secretary Eduardo Sanchez said on Tuesday, “This arrest delivers a personal blow to the most wanted man in Mexico."
Coronel is the father of Guzman's third wife, Ema Coronel Aispuro, who married the notorious drug lord in 2007 in a mountainous town in Durango State.
The US agency said Coronel "plays a key role" in the Sinaloa drug cartel led by Guzman. We praise God for this major victory; however, we do not let up in our calling out to Almighty God to continue to uncover the hidden things along our border and in our state and to dismantle the devastating criminal activities brought into Arizona. It is our heart to continue to believe God to keep our families, children, schools, businesses, and communities safe.
