Praying for Peace
This morning Kenyans of every tribe and tongue gathered across the country to pray for peace. In our church, we prayed specifically for five areas of need: against the spirit of revenge that could so quickly destroy the fragile peace and bring further suffering and death; for the power of Christ's love and peace to penetrate the hearts of Kenyans and make healing and reconciliation possible; for the physical needs of thousands of impoverished Kenyans who have been most keenly affected by the violence; for humility and wisdom for Kenya's leadership, that both President Kibaki and Mr. Odinga will come to a compromise needed to bring Kenya out of the present state of conflict; and for the unity of Christ's Church that believers would lead the way to compassion and mercy.
Our hope is that you and your community of faith might join us in praying for Kenya. Thank you.

Hello:
We at Dutton Baptist Church and Iona Station Baptist Church in Southwestern Ontario Canada prayed during services this morning specifically for your family's ministry and for the protection of The Lord to surround you. Know that we are interceding for all of Kenya at the same time.
Blessings,

Just a note to say that we at Bridgewater Baptist are praying with you! In our Church service this Sunday we set apart special time for prayer on these 5 topics. We remember you, and the nation and people you so faithfully serve.
Much love from your partners at home,

Your prayers are deeply appreciated by us, the CBM team here and our Kenyan/Somali friends. Since President Kibaki has announced his cabnet, we've seen a rise in anti-Kikuyu rhetoric. People in the streets are threatening a return to violence if something substatial isn't done to assure a new election or deal with ODM before parliment returns on Tuesday. We all continue to pray for peace!
