It's time for the capture of Mexico's leading drug lord, who leads the most powerful drug trafficking organization in the world. Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera (born April 4, 1957) nicknamed "El Chapo" ("Shorty") has built the Sinaloa Federation Cartel, a crime organization named after the Mexican Pacific coast state of Sinaloa. He became Mexico's leading drug kingpin in 2003 after the arrest of his rival Osiel Cárdenas of the Gulf Cartel. Guzmán has been ranked by Forbes magazine as one of the most powerful people in the world every year since 2009; Forbes also listed him as the one of the world's richest men in 2010 and 2011. After the death of Osama Bin Laden on May 2, 2011, Guzmán became the FBI and Interpol's "most wanted person." In addition, Forbes considers Guzmán the "biggest drug lord of all time", and the DEA strongly believes he has surpassed the influence and reaches of Pablo Escobar and now considers him "the godfather of the drug world."

The Sinaloa Federation Cartel produces and smuggles multiple tons of marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin through Mexico to the United States and has distribution cells in over 200 cities in the U.S.

Guzmán is becoming bolder with his "in-your-face" relations to the United States. Recently, his wife, who is an American citizen, gave birth to his twin girls in San Diego, certifying that his children are American citizens. Just last week federal prosecutors announced their discovery that Guzmán proposed attacks on high profile US facilities in Mexico as a way of hitting back at U.S. and Mexican law enforcement for their success in the reduction of drug smuggling. The Sinaloa Cartel's drug bosses discussed buying heavy weapons to carry out terror attacks on U.S. diplomatic or commercial targets in Mexico City to "send the gringos a message," according to federal prosecutors. Guzmán was quoted as saying, "Let it be a government building, it doesn't matter whose; an embassy or a consulate, a media outlet or television station. It would be good to do it in [Mexico City]. We'll get something good out of it, and [someone else] will take the heat."

It's time his illegal operation is stopped! Join us as we stand in fervent prayer for the capture of Joaquín "Chapo" Guzmán and the end of the Sinaloa Federation.

PRAY:
For the capture of Chapo Guzmán and that he will be brought to justice, now!
For Guzmán to make a tactical error that will lead to his capture.
For the dismantling of the Sinaloa Federation Cartel.
For law enforcement to have keen awareness, willing informants, and a solid strategy in place to ensure an inescapable capture of Guzmán.
For safety of all law enforcement and civilians that are involved on both sides of the border in his capture.
