On Sunday the team of us who traveled to Kenya last summer met and prayed together for our friends who are suffering there. We managed to scrap together some funds to send. It felt good to have something to offer them as a sign of our solidarity and love. But we know that it is only minor and temporary relief. The money will soon run out and Kenya will still be broken. What our friends need is some kind of real and lasting peace in their country. Something solid and stable to build on. And that isn't a gift we are able to give them. So we pray and we hope and we wait, wondering what each new day of news will bring. Hoping not to see the face of anyone we know on TV.Our team is feeling a new longing to be back in Kenya, back with our friends during this difficult time. Sometimes it's hard to even concentrate during the day. Here is an email from our friend, Francis:
