Kenya has been looked upon as a model for other nations in Africa with governmental stability, some degree of economic progress, a meca for tourists, and a nation that has many Christians. Further, it has been open to the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then came the December elections. Post-election violence erupted since the election was disputed. For weeks, the violence was tied to the election. Sadly, it is no longer a political issue but tribal hatred. Evangelist Fred Indangasi, Mombasa, reported yesterday that he had been counseling six women who chased away from their homes by their husbands just because they are not from their tribe. Over 800 have been killed. Villages have been burned. Martin Shikuku, our main coordinator, reports that in his area five Baptist churches were destroyed by fire. Thousands have been displaced. JGHM shared the urgent need for financial help for Martin and his family with our Doorkeepers. The response indicated that daily prayers are going up. Further, financial resources have been provided to enable us to help reestablish the work. What is the future? It will be determined by prayer. God is able, willing, and waiting for us to call on Him. Don't forget to pray for Kenya.
