Received in an email, was this prayer request for
peace in Kenya:
A Call to Prayer for Peace in Kenya, from Bert Yates, Prayer Advocate for Central
Corridor Cluster
“Would you, your families and churches
please join Kenya in a special time of prayer [edit]? To me
the very fact that the above appeal is happening is a
praise as it shows much wisdom and strength on the part
of many. Although, Kenya will need relief efforts from the States and other
places, we also are praising God for the emphasis in this prayer
call for Kenyans to help one another.
In an earlier call to prayer, I wrote: “Pray that
somehow, no not somehow, but miraculously – Pray that miraculously
all the tensions will be defused and healing will begin.”
I truly believe that change will come only with God’s intervention
and men and women truly turning to him and relying upon him at
this time.
Continue praying for peace for those in the problem areas,
for those who have lost loved ones and homes, for those separated
from family, and for those that are having difficulty finding
food and safe shelter. Pray for wisdom and strength for Christians
in Kenyans, nationals and expatriates, who have opportunities
to minister to our friends who are hurting. And do pray for the leaders of Kenya . Pray that they will make decisions and actions
that bring about a permanent end to the ethnic, economic and social
problems Kenya is experiencing.
I cannot end without thanking you for your prayer support.
Assurance of your prayers have already strengthened and encouraged
those of us in Kenya more than I can put into words.
