I just send out the following email to our friends. If you are reading this, we ask that you please take time to pray for the nation of Kenya.
Dear friends,
We are writing from very troubled circumstances here in Kenya.
We just received news that 200 people were burnt to death in a Kenya Assemblies of God church in Eldoret. We do not have confirmed figures at this point, some said 35-40 poeple. They were taking refuge in the church as their homes were already burnt down.
We also received news that a pastor (from the Luo tribe) has been helping other pastors (from the kikuyu tribe) by hiding them in his house and then taking them to the police station as a safe house. These kikuyu pastors have had their houses burnt and their lives at risk - theirs as well as their families and church members.
The situation here is very volatile. It almost seems surreal to us - we have lived here over a decade and never thought this could ever happened. We are safe and we live in an area that is quiet and peaceful.
Our hearts are broken for our people. Please pray with us. This Thursday. there is supposed to be a million people march.
Kenya is also a centre for many Christian and humanity organisation helping other troubled African nations in the horn of Africa. We need peace.
Our knees are bow in prayer for this nation, we ask that you please join us,
Tony and CHristine Phang
