Ringkasan doa bagi Guatemala
Terakhir diperbarui Oktober 2026. Fakta diambil dari sumber-sumber yang tercantum di bawah.
Peristiwa terkini
Volcán de Fuego erupted on 3 August, a reminder of the danger many communities near it live with. In July the United States placed a 10% tariff on goods from Guatemala, citing concerns about forced labour in supply chains. In January, coordinated prison riots and the killing of seven police officers led to a 30-day state of siege, and about 1,437 homicides were recorded in the first half of the year.
Kami berdoa bagi: Pertolongan segera, keselamatan, dan bantuan mendesak.
Kepemimpinan dan politik
Guatemala is a republic led by President Bernardo Arévalo, who took office in 2024 and is in his third year. In May he appointed Gabriel Estuardo García Luna as the new attorney general, after the term of Consuelo Porras ended. Judicial elections were also held in 2026, an important moment for the courts.
Kami berdoa bagi: Hikmat, integritas, dan keadilan bagi para pemegang kekuasaan.
Kesehatan ekonomi
The central bank expects growth of about 4% in 2026, carried largely by record remittances from Guatemalans abroad, expected to reach about 27 billion US dollars. Inflation is expected to be under 4%. Yet the national statistics office reports that about 56% of people live in poverty and about 16% in extreme poverty.
Kami berdoa bagi: Pemeliharaan bagi keluarga-keluarga dan pengelolaan yang jujur.
Masalah sosial dan budaya
Maya peoples make up more than half the population and are among the poorest, with poverty rates of about 75%, about double those of other Guatemalans. Most children and young people live in economic hardship, and chronic child malnutrition remains a serious concern. Violence is concentrated in a few departments, and many families live with fear of gangs.
Kami berdoa bagi: Rekonsiliasi, damai, dan perlindungan bagi mereka yang rentan.
Keadaan rohani
A 2016 survey found about 45% of Guatemalans are Catholic and about 42% are Protestant, mostly evangelical, with about 11% having no religion. A small share follow Maya, Xinca or Garifuna spiritual traditions or other faiths. Evangelical churches are found across the country.
Kami berdoa bagi: Kebangunan rohani, pengharapan, dan tersebarnya kebenaran.
Kebebasan beragama
The constitution protects freedom of religion and recognises the Catholic Church, while other groups must register, which the US State Department says can take up to two years. Maya spiritual guides report harassment and limited access to some sacred sites. Churches are generally free to meet and worship, and people of different faiths live side by side.
Kami berdoa bagi: Perlindungan bagi orang percaya dan kebebasan untuk beribadah dengan aman.
Luka sejarah
A civil war from about 1960 to 1996 killed more than 200,000 people, most of them civilians, and displaced more than a million, most of them Maya. About 400 Indigenous villages were almost completely destroyed. The final peace accord was signed on 29 December 1996, but the wounds of fear, distrust and grief remain.
Kami berdoa bagi: Kesembuhan bangsa, terputusnya lingkaran lama, dan pengampunan yang mendalam.
Mari kita berdoa bersama
Our Father, we come to You together for Guatemala. Protect communities living near the volcano and bring safety to neighbourhoods troubled by violence. Give President Arévalo, the attorney general and the courts wisdom, integrity and justice. Provide for families in poverty and for every hungry child, and bless honest work. Protect the Maya peoples and all the vulnerable, and make Your people one across every language. Let the hope of Jesus reach every heart, including those in prison. Keep believers and all people free to worship safely. Heal the deep wounds of the civil war, and lead Guatemala in forgiveness and peace. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
