Kenya continues to burn

Posted from our Kenyan contact

Thank you for praying for us here in Kenya. I believe it is your prayers rising up to the throne of grace that have seen calm restored. I have personally been overwhelmed and anguished by the suffering of our own people who reside in Kibera, Mukuru, Mutumba and Fuata Nyayo among the slums that were affected. I often lacked the strength to pray as texts and phone calls of untold suffering came through especially families with little children going without food for days in no-go zones I the slums.

Houses of some our members have been torched and everything destroyed. Many are spending nights in the cold in Kibera. For the rest too they spent their nights outside for fear of being burnt inside their houses at night. No one sleeps at night any more as they have to keep vigil all night.

The last two days have seen calm restored into the City of Nairobi and many of the troubled hotspots around the country. This is what Kenya is crying for! The city is beginning to bounce back slowly and momentum may increase as parents get into the new school term purchases and preparation this weekend and early next week. A sigh of relief is breaking forth.
