Day 32: Challenges in Kenya

Posted: 02 Apr 2012 11:00 PM PDT

During this Secret Church on Good Friday, April 6, we are focusing our prayer time on the people of the Horn of Africa. Throughout the weeks leading up to Secret Church we will post information and prayer requests on this blog. We invite you to join us in learning about and praying for the people of the Horn.

Kenya's long-term stability cannot be taken for granted. Droughts in the north caused the deaths of 80% of the livestock, and the decrease of pasturelands causes violent clashes among various ethnic groups claiming the resources. Fragile ecosystems, overdue land reform, widening gaps between rich and poor, increasingly scarce water, rapidly expanding urban slums, and burgeoning populations of street children and AIDS orphans all point to future tensions. Many of these issues were contributing factors to the ethnic violence and political crisis of 2007-2008.

Ways to Pray

  • Pray for peace among the various ethnic groups in Kenya.
  • Pray for gifted, holy and accountable believers to be appointed to positions of influence in the nation.
  • Ask God to grant wisdom to leaders of Kenya as they develop practical solutions to many problems. Pray that these solutions will be effectively implemented.
