Wishing for Normal

Sue Sprenkle of the IMB has published an article about the current situation in Kenya, "Displaced Kenyans wish life could be normal again." Find it here.

In the news: An opposition party leader has threatened further rallies if the constitutional arrangments for power sharing do not begin within the next two weeks. Further rallies means further terror & bloodshed.

Continue to pray for peace in Kenya. Pray that those with power to affect the outcomes to be moved by God's Spirit. Pray for the thousands of internally displaced peoples still unable to return home due to the real presence of ongoing violence. Pray that the strong, humble differences of Christ-followers would be evident to those needing Jesus.

The Forecast

Calm prevails today. Uneasy as it may be calm has prevailed the last two weeks. Countless Kenyans are still displaced & fearful for their lives. Negotiations between the two sides are moving ahead with Kofi Annan seeking to broker a peaceful settlement of shared power.

Stormy forecast ahead? Further storms of violence are the inevitable concern of Kenyans however. Rightfully so as the two rival parties seek power and its spoils. This may have the effect of colliding cold & warm fronts in the atomosphere. Explosive. Stormy.

Continue to pray for Kenya. May peace prevail. May God draw Kenyans unto Himself.
