“Dear Praying Friends of AIM,
From time to time significant issues face a people that merit special attention and prayer focus. Kenya is heading into such a time on the 4th of August and the days following, as citizens of Kenya vote in a referendum on a long anticipated new constitution.
However the debate over this constitution has been vigorous and differing views abound. While there is potential for unrest there is potential for good as well. We ask that you join us in prayer for Kenya:
o That God’s glory would be evidenced as the Church speaks to the issues.
o That wise decisions would be made in voting.
o That constructive dissenting perspectives might be raised.
o That the voting would be fair, and results of the referendum be accepted.
In another development the recent tragic bombing in Kampala, Uganda has raised concerns here in Kenya as the source of this terrorist act comes from a close neighbouring country. Again pray that destruction of lives would be stifled here and that it would not distract people from prayerfully considering the issues at stake for Kenya’s future. AIM offices in Kenya are monitoring all of these events carefully and taking prudent precautionary measures.
Thank you for praying with us in the days surrounding the referendum on Aug 4th 2010.
Loren Fast, Crisis Consultant on behalf of the Leadership of Africa Inland Mission International in Kenya: RVA, International Services and Eastern Region.”
