Please continue to pray for the
Kenyan election. They have been counting
the votes for 72 hours and we still do not know who has won. Officially they have released the count for
about half of the vote.
At this time Uhuru Kenyatta has a
lead of about 400,000 votes over Raila Odinga.
Odinga’s party has already issued a complaint and has asked the vote
count to stop because of irregularities. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/kenyan-presidential-hopeful-calls-for-halt-to-vote-counting-says-process-lacks-integrity

Honestly, it is hard to know exactly
what is going on. There has been a few suspicious things happen that has caused
some to ask a lot of questions. It seems
that regardless of the outcome we are in for some tense days ahead.
The Kenyan people have been very
patient and for the most part peace has prevailed throughout the country. However, the longer the results are delayed
the greater the chance people will start to believe the rumors which will in
turn cause the tension to rise.
Some have asked who I would like
to win. The truth is I do not believe either of these men would be good for
Kenya. Kenyatta and his running mate,
Ruto, have both been indicted by the international court for crimes against
humanity. Indications are that they were
major players in the past election violence.
Odinga, in my opinion, is tainted by corruption and by the violence in
the last election.
We thank you for your prayers and
concern and ask that you continue to pray!
