Finally there is good news from Kenya. The politicians have a greed to work together ...we are so excited, everyone is talking about it.....and the economy is expected to pick up again, although we hear there is some kind of recession in the world economy. Nonetheless we are a happy people. atleast everyone is thinking the same way....and that is the country we want to build.
We also give our thanks to you for your prayers ..and not forgetting the former united nations secretary Dr. Koffi Annan, Former president of Tanzania Benjamin Mkapa and Nelson Mandela's wife Graca Machel. They all spent their time seeking peace that was almost going to be elusive for us here in Kenya.

God Bless

Peace at Last in Kenya
hello,
am just sitting here at cybercafe..and i am hearing ODM ... JUU and Raila JUU.
this is the scene happening here..right now, people are wishing each other happy new year.. and it seems it is a start of a new chapter.
the two protagonists finally accepted a power sharing deal between their two parties. Kofi Annan is the man of the moment. he has led the negotiations from the start, and we are really so excited.
The former UN Chief has had dilly dally moments when he was here. sometimes the two negotiating teams could not agree, but he stood his ground, and made Kenya to be a one united Kenya again.
we are happy that this deal has been appended with signatures, but we are sad that it took so long for them to see this.....
a lot of damage has been done already..
about 1500 lives lost, over 350,000 displaced,
what a country this was.... but we call that [violence], an accident. we will start mending the country again.
God Bless

Kericho in the Center
Hello,
Kericho was a center of leaders coming from all over for the burial of our leader [and member of parliament], David Kimutai. Though these men are all very busy politicians they were able to attend the funeral and pay their respects: Raila Odinga, William Ruto, Najib Balala and Musalia Mudavadi all came. They praised Kofi Annan for his contribution to the [tentative] peace we have now in Kenya [while a mediated settlement between the leaders is on-going]. US Secretary of State, Condoleeza Rice was also expected to help out with a peace deal. You can likely read about US involvement in the various media.
God bless.
Jonah
Ed. note: Continue to pray for complete and perfect peace in Kenya as well as continuing local and international aid for Internally Displaced Persons and for those Kenyans hit hard by post-election violence. The outreach to the internally displaced, is in addition to the daily care and provisions for orphans, caretakers and other evangelistic outreaches. Here now is a slideshow of recent images taken of the displaced and for whom we ask prayer. You can click on the slideshow to read the captions and determine speed of viewing.
