Prayer requests from staff in Kenya

From updates received over the past few days from staff in Kenya, it is evident that the uncertainty and unrest is starting to take a toll on the staff.

  • Please pray for God to refresh the staff daily as they spend time seeking his face.
  • Specifically, also pray for our leaders.
  • Please pray for David Tarus, who is more than just ELI's director. He is a well-respected community leader, and is seeking wisdom in how to lead his community during this crisis.
  • Pray that God would continue to use David to speak truth into people's hearts.
  • Pray that the ears of the people in our community would be open to hearing.
  • Pray that our entire community would love our neighbors no matter which tribe.
  • Pray for thousands of angels to walk with David wherever he goes.
  • Pray for wisdom in facing the many challenges that are coming his way.

These are very confusing times, which we know is one of Satan's many tactics. We continue to bring our requests before our faithful God, sometimes not knowing what to pray but trusting that He is fighting for us.

During our Monday morning staff devotion, the following message was shared from 2 Chronicles 20, "Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's...Have faith in the Lord your God and you will be upheld." Thank you again for continuing to fight with us for the glory of God to be shone in Kenya. May mercy, peace and love be multiplied unto you and also unto us and our people of Kenya.
