This is an email forwarded by my pastor to me. Is is from a Kenyan pastor whom he was going to visit this summer.
 
Things do indeed sound very bad over there. We need to pray for our dear friend, Samson as well as this pastor and his flock and the many innocents.
 
Dear Pastor Joey,
Thank you so much for standing with in prayer,we still
beleive the Lord is doing some for the good of His
elect even in this chaos, the chaos you might have
read of heard about Kenya is true; this year's
elections were much different from the former ones. We
have a different generation who want who want to see
justice made in everything, to most Kenyans feelings
is that the incumbent rigged the elections results.
On Sunday the 30th when the Electoral Commission
Chairman announced the results, it was like people
were on alert to fight; at once the whole nation was
covered with riots, killings and looting.

Here in Bungoma, we have been in our houses we can't
get out until this morning when we were able to get
out of our houses, many people have been killed mostly
young people by police shooting them, some were found
looting while some they were just shot at and killed
because they were walking in groups.

 Shops have been closed since last week, of which many
of them have been looted, we cannot buy airtime and
fuel pumps are empty. No one can travel from Nairobi
to up countries such Bungoma and parts of the country.
This situation has mostly affected those who live in
towns except Central province where president comes
from.
 

Mr.Raila Odinga the opposition leader last night asked
calm over the TV and radio that is why as at now we
feel some kind of relief, we are waiting until next
Thursday because he is supposed to have his party
public rally in Nairobi whereby he is expected to be
either endorsed as the 4th president by the crowd, or
just protest peacefully we don't know, I don't think
the government shall allow him to hold the rally, if
not fresh riots might begin.

As at now, we have many people who have camped at
Bungoma High school and government institutions
because their houses have been burnt down; properties
looted, they need food, clean water and many other
essential needs. Some of them are our church members.
Many of those affected are people from the president's
tribe the Kikuyu tribe and some who are suspected to
have voted for the government.
Even as I am writing, I can hear the gunshots around
our house.

Please continue to stand with us in prayer

Bishop Fredrick Ogara
