Unrest in Kenya

As many of you know, Sarah's parents are missionaries in Kenya. However, many of you may not have heard about all of the unrest in Kenya recently after the presidential elections. Please pray for the country of Kenya. There have been many riots and killings because of the results of the elections. Thankfully, Sarah's mom arrived back in Kenya before the elections and made it back to their home safely. The compound they are on is in a lock-down mode. School was scheduled to resume January 3, however, it has now been postponed until January 7 to allow for the country to become a little more stable for travelling safety. As Sarah's parents write with updates and as we read articles online, they may have to push the start of school back even more. Again, we just ask for prayer ---
For saftey of ... 1)Sarah's parents, and all other missionaries in the country, 2)for the people of Kenya -- that this would not turn into a genocide like Rawanda (watch Hotel Rawada if you have not)
For the president of Kenya -- whoever it maybe ... Kibaki or Odinga, that they will restore peace and stability in the country. Pray that the government may reconcil the peoples of Kenya.

Please stay informed of this situation by reading articles at any news internet site (CNN International, BBC, or any other)

We will keep you updated as well as we can.
