Prayer Request for Kenya...

As you may have seen on the news, read, or heard Kenya recently held its presidential election on the 27th of this month. Until last night the results were unknown and rumours of rigging the election were going around. There has been rising conflict between two of the largest tribes in Kenya and has put life on hold for many. In regions of the country there have been shootings, burning of shops and homes, looting, and closing of roads. Yesterday afternoon Kibaki was announced to have won the elections and was shortly sworn in for another term as president. Many say that if it had been the other tribe's candidate who had won, there was still be unrest, so in terms of being at peace it was a lose-lose situation. So I write this from Kenya still as I am unable to enter Nairobi where I would need to go to take a bus back to Uganda. There are many people who were traveling for Christmas that are now stranded where they are and facing many challenges to return home. But God is in control and always sovereign. The prayer request is that God would be glorified in the current circumstances Kenya is facing and that His people would withstand these trials, pointing to Him. Thank-you so much for your prayers!
