Just got word from our missionary, Doug Lee, that we ought to be able to go this fall!
Keep Kenya in prayer. Doug observed a heartbreaking exchange between a parent & child recently. The child wanted to play with another child. The mother response was something like, "No, that child is from (a rival) tribe." Doug thinks the renewed tribal animosity will take a generation to overcome.
Pray that a revival will change hearts before a generation passes.

Agreement Reached
The good news from Kenya last Thursday is the reaching of a power-sharing agreement between the two rival political parties. Amen.
Lead mediator, Kofi Annan, was quoted yesterday by the East African Standard as saying, "Kenya has a lot to offer. As Kenyans you need to work together, heal and unify the nation," adding that it was a beautiful country which he would like to see remain prosperous.
The Standard reports of life now in Kenya, "Some have great hope that peace will prevail and they will go back home. Some are still too traumatised by what they went through, and believe things will never be the same again, even after reconciliation."
An agreement is reached. The real work of finding a new peace lies ahead. What does the future hold for Kenya?
