Prayer Report

Fire!

Pray for the nine hospital families left homeless and destitute from last week's fire. Also pray that the hospital community's compassionate response will be sustained over the long haul as these families struggle to rebuild their lives.

The response from the community has been wonderful so far, and others have also given generously to help meet the most urgent needs. Please continue praying for them.

Road Carnage

Road travel in Kenya is becoming increasingly hazardous. (See "Sudden Death.") Horrific road accidents involving both public and private vehicles, and armed robberies and carjackings are all steadily increasing. Please pray about this.

Several traffic accident victims seen at the hospital just today. The road carnage continues. Prayer is still needed.

request

Drought in Kenya

The "short rains" have finally come, bringing some relief from the 3-year drought. Pray that the rains will be sufficient for not only the newly-planted crops but also to replenish the depleted water table.

Two weeks of cold wind and rainy days - Yes! Crops are being planted in the fields even as seeds of hope are being planted in peoples' hearts. Pray for the rains to continue for the full duration of the season, and not to quit early.

request

Friends with cancer

Please continue praying for Mary Ellen, who is on chemotherapy. Other friends needing prayer for cancer: Paul (a dear brother with no insurance) and Kim (a missionary colleague whose son is in Josiah's class.)

Please continue praying for Mary Ellen, Paul, and Kim. Also pray for Larry Neese, who is now facing life without his beloved Bev, whose cancer called her home to the Lord last month. He still has a vital ministry ongoing in Kitale, Kenya.

CAN-K Registration

Registration of the Churches AIDS Network of Kenya continues to be obstructed. It is now more than a year since the application was accepted, and the steering committee is getting discouraged and ready to give up. Please pray urgently!

We are now told that the word "Churches" must be removed from the name in order to register the organization. Every time it's something different. We are still unwilling to pass money under the table. Please keep praying.
