The COG World Missions Department has posted an update from Kenya. The area is still very dangerous. One of the most dangerous cities is Eldoret. This is the city where I lived for 30 days back in 2004. The people (unnamed) in the article are all men who I worked with while I was there. Here is a cut from the article:

“When I spoke with one of the missionaries, he mentioned they are not only helping those who came to our school, but also a church about 20 kilometers away with 1,500 refugees. In faith they have purchased some emergency supplies to get them through this crisis. They had to dig new toilets to make conditions a little more humane. They have a great need for our support emotionally and financially at this time. We have only heard of two of our members’ homes being burned to the ground. Whether they will be able to reclaim their land is a big question at this time. However, when they do, we (The Church of God) will help in whatever way we can.”
