Trouble in Kenya

We are only 30Klm at some places, away from the border of Kenya. Right now that country is in great strife. Over 500 killed, according to some news reports. Churchs full of people being burned to the ground, killing all inside. All due to political courruption during an election for the presidency of the country. This place that supplies alot of our products (Uganda's) is being turned upside down and inside out.

Fuel prices are now up to as much as 80,000 USH for 20 liters of disel fuel. Today we have heard that it will be closer to normal by the end of the week. Around 2000 a liter instead of 4-5000 per liter. We can't go anywhere as fuel shortages are everywhere and if you don't find the fuel you don't move!!!! You can't risk traveling as you may not be able to make it back home until more fuel is delivered.

I called our former Clinical Officer who lives in a very troubled place in Kenya.He said he and his family are in hiding, no food to buy and no where to get phone time for calling. He stated they were afraid to stay in their homes at night as people would break in and shot them. Many had been killed in their village. I told him I wished we could offer more help, but that we would pray and ask for protection for he and his family. His reply was "yes, please pray hard, ask God to help us" Can't get through on his cell now, he doesn't have airtime. We are praying for him!!!

It is truly amazing how fragile this world is, one day things are going very well, and the next some people's whole world has fallen apart, and it has had nothing to do with them.

What a true sign that we really need God, every where!!!!!!!!
