Just hours ago I received an email from our missionary contact in Nairobi, Doug Lee, saying that they have decided to cancel our trip for now. There is concern of ongoing unrest due to the corrupt election process of 2 weeks ago.
Our trip to meet the Teso will be postponed indefinitely until we are sure of a prevailing peace in Kenya. We will cancel our flights & rearrange our schedule. Our Kenyan friends are not so fortunate.
One person we looked forward to meeting, David Gitau, the director of the Busia Baptist Bible School, is in hiding fearful for his life. David is a member of one tribe, but lives in an area dominated by a rival tribe. The rival political parties are formed from rival tribal groups so what started with an election has become tribal violence. David is just one Kenyan. I wonder how many countless others are living in fear or hiding as he is right now?
Pray for peace in Kenya. Pray for the protection of it's people. Pray that God would turn people toward Himself using what Satan has intended for evil.

David Gitau is a friend of my wife and I and we are praying in ernest for his safety as well as others we know in the region. I pray the door will reopen soon for your church to work with Gitau there in the Western Provice. He's a great guy and will be a blessing to work with.
