Post election violence has broken out in a major way in Kenya. Look at the following article from Fox News and the related articles on the same page.

One church has already been destroyed in the hostility. The following is taken from an email from Bishop John Okinda:
"Thank you so much for your prayers, to be honest things are too bad here in Migori, such has never been seen in Kenya, many have died, and hundreds are in hospitals with gun wounds, shops have looted, burned in a protest a gainst the government of what Kenyans call rigging of elections, it is too bad such that people are crying for food and it is nowhere.
My family and I are safe as of now, but you can here of gushots around here.
In one hospital they have reported 40 dead!
Please pass this to as many as you can for prayers, we need peace.
It is New year Eve and we are closed up in the house not knowing what will happen the next minute.
Many are calling me for help, we have just come back from Migori town to save a stuation, we had to have a heavy security in my car to move.
Thank you so much for your prayers, please note that most towns in Kenya are going through the same thing."
This violence threatens the lives of people in and around Migori and all Kenya, not to mention the work of God which was to get a big boost with the three phase project beginning next month. Please take some time to fast and pray for the Lord to restore peace and stability to Kenya. Pray that He would pour His Spirit out upon the church there that they would know His grace and be strengthened to be used for His purposes. Pray for wisdom for John and other church leaders as well as governmental leaders. Pray for those in law enforcement and rescue workers. Just pray!
We will post updates as we receive them.
