Prayer Request from Kenya

Things have not settled down in Kenya. My buddy Ed sent this prayer request...

Dear Friends,
We need prayer for a couple things. Both seem important enough that I did not want to wait for our normal weekly prayer update.

First; we are down. We are witnessing and living amidst a horrible atrocity. It is difficult and exhausting. A week ago Jackson and I helped deliver some food to Dandora Slum but as I type it is full of riots and people are being killed. On Saturday I was in the Soweto area of Kibera and now it is too dangerous for a mazungu to get into. Actually, it is too dangerous for anyone to live in. Haley is angered and Jackson is having a hard time expressing himself over this situation. Many of our friends have been beaten, lost jobs or evicted because of their tribes. A few have died. We are confessing to being tired in the work, but not of the work. Please pray.

The other issue is that a plot next to where Calvary International Fellowship has opened for sale and another church is making an offer on it. Please pray that God would give us wisdom on how to proceed. I spoke with the owner this afternoon and am now seeking God if we should do something. The owner said he would rather sale to us because he has seen CIF in operation and feels it is good for the community. It is an excellent location and would be a great site to move CIF onto, but only if that is what God would have us do –and He provides. Please pray, we this may be an attack from the enemy or a great opportunity.

Blessings!
Ed
