It’s been a long week of waiting for presidential results & that was announced this evening. It was such a close race & the candidate that has tried for the 5th time lost again.
This time around we live & work in Kisumu, & our hearts were breaking for the people here as we saw the black smoke (from burning tires blocking the roads) of protests beginning to go up & could hear the cries (wails) of people who feel like they have lost so much. From our home up on the hill, we can see all of town & could see the smoke spreading from one roundabout to the next for as far as our eyes could see.
We have been in contact with the other missionaries on our team & the Kenyans that attend our Bible studies, & everyone is safe tonight. But we would greatly appreciate your prayers over the coming days.
By nightfall, the police were trying to disperse the crowds & we could hear them firing teargas canisters & are still hearing an occasional shot.
Pray for Kenya 
for Kenya
