Dark days


We are not not seeing much sunlight in recent days as the rainy season is in full swing. Umbrellas are the accessory of choice. The days are dark as well for our neighbours in Somalia, 250,000 have fled the capital in this last week as helicopter gunships have bombarded the city in the throws of battle. Kenya's borders are closed, and now 150,000 Somalis are camping at the border with no where to turn. In Eastleigh, a trickle of new Somalis refugees are coming in illegally, but they are a small hidden minority as Kenyan authorities are vigilant in their patrols. Please pray with us and our students for peace in Somalia and for an end to such dark times.

Hi Aaron and Erica
Tell Tristan and Emma I am glad they like little green lizards. They are diffenetly not on my list of things to like. But they do look harmless.
We continue to pray.

The refugee situation is just overwhelming. The violence in Somalia is becoming so commonplace that it does not even make the news abroad anymore. May God give you courage, wisdom and focus as you work to alieviate the situation as the opportunity arises.
