Prayers urgently needed, again.

Kenya decided on a coalition government and this brought about a "tense peace" for a few weeks. The next step was to decide on cabinet members. This is brought yet another impasse to the government. Since there is the inability to make a decision on the cabinet members, the opposition party (ODM) is refusing to meet.

Because of this, yesterday, the riots began again. They were isolated to Kisumu and Kibera which were two of the worst areas in the violence that we had seen before. We do not feel any immediate danger to ourselves, but as we have seen before, things can go very bad, very quickly.

Please pray for
The hearts of politicians to be softened by the Holy Spirit, realizing that without this they cannot be good leaders.
Non violent expressions of dissatisfaction.
The work that has been done to not be undone. Reconciliation is happening one person at a time.
The safety of our team in Kenya, Kearbys, Gibsons and Abbotts.
Safety of our children as they travel by bus to school.
Freedom from fear for us as we minister to those who are hurt.
Safe travel for our staff as they travel to work each day, sometimes through these affected areas.

We thank you for joining us in this battle of principalities.


Ephesians 6
11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. (NIV)
