A letter from a Kenyan

hello family and friends...this is a very important letter from one of the kenyan's i worked with on a daily basis. he wrote it to a dear friend/mentor of mine in california. i ask all of you to pray for kenya and for this battle to be over. walking on the grounds and having the experience i had in kenya and knowing this is going on right where i walked is very sentimental to me. i ask all of you for a prayer or two or three. i will even go as far as asking those of you that have prayer groups to put kenya on the prayer list. nakuru is an awesome place...please help protect the area with prayer. love to all.

"Dear ma,
thank you so much for your continued prayers. i have not been able to write to you because the town has been a no go zone because of the scamishes. The day you wrote this message was very timely because the whole day that day my family was in doors. the fighting was about 100yards from were my family lives. It was very scary. A neighbour's house was burnt down and nothing was saved from their newly built house. Oh! dear, it was shocking more so to see massive property just being burnt just because a person is of a different ethnic group. Fran i not in terms that innocent blood, children of God are dying just because they are of a different ethnic group. Moreover it has taught us to live each day at a time because you really dont know what will happen tommorow. peace is now returning slowly but still people are very traumatized.Kenya is such a beautiful country that it is difficult to comprehend that all these things are happening. Any way Fran my family is safe. all the boys at th Rescue Centre and the school are safe. keep praying for a couple of Rohi staff who have been evicted to safety. On more has not yet reported yet since the year started. We do not know where he is. He was employed in December.Pray for the mediation that is in process, the opposition and the Government that God will intervene.How is Jim doing? How did his surgery go on? Praying for you always. Thank you for your prayers too. You are a great treasure, a beautiful jewel that no one would want to lose.Take care and may God bless you.Onesmus"
