Peace agreement

The big news here in Kenya is the peace agreement. Former UN secretary Kofi Annan was able to convince the two Kenyan politicians to come to an agreement. For the most part, Kenyans are happy and the general mood on the streets is calm. Its funny how sitting in traffic can be an indicator. During the weeks just after the elections, the streets in Nairobi were deserted and it was a weird "ghost town" like atmosphere. As I sat in traffic the last few days, I thought about how normal that felt. I still don't like it but at least it tells me that people are going back to work and school and so forth.
Keep us in your prayers. The real work begins now as we help people try to start their lives over again. Many are still displaced and we are helping with food and school supplies so their kids can get into school. There are nearly 500 Assembly of God pastors that are among the displaced and we have a plan to help them get re-settled. With Gods help, we will make an impact on this nation for the Kingdom. What the enemy meant for destruction, God will use for his purpose.
