Letters From Kenya About
Their Urgent Needs
Yes, me and my
family are fine, but we have gone through very
difficult times since sunday.
On sunday, I went to
see my Mum who due to stress and some fear fell
ill, she is over 75years now. On my way back
that was in the evening, I met some very roudy
youths, they were enquiring to know the identity
of people, however, their main intension was to
beat people up and steal from them, they realy
roughed me up, took my phone, some money and my
jacket, sustained some slight injuries when I
fell, however, am ok.
Now, come monday and
Tuesday, we were held hostages in our homes, the
youths barrigaded all the passages in the estate
and were looting at will, the police were
chasing them but in vain, it was an exprience I
have never seen in my life, for the two days we
really lived in fear. These youths I would say
were being used by SATAN, they were doing things
you may noy imagine. Today, things have cooled
down, and here Iam in town writing this mail.
Now, the biggest
problem that is eminent here is famine, over 50%
of bussiness premisses have been destroyed, most
people have lost their sources of income,
lawlessness is very high, the available food
comodies are now too costly, and they are likely
to run out,
My plan now for my
family is to look for some money to buy serials
like MAIZE and BEANS to stock. My request is
that if you may have some few dollars no matter
how little, you may send it down to us, we can
do this to prepare ourselves for the worsed, however,
what we need most is prayers for only God who is
able to help us out of this. mess.
Since, I do not have
a phone, am writing Mutuku an email to brief him
on the situation down here.

It is the worst situation I ever seen in kenya.
People are dying like hens, there is a great
hunger, the prizes of food and other materials
have risen up. No fuel in the country, the
properties of people are totaly destroyed, riots
are there in every corner of luo land.
Please please pray for our country.
My family is safe at now. I rung to Josh, he
told me that he is safe in Nairobi.

Hello,
How goes it with you tonight?did you enjoy your
sabbath?
Here we had it nicely and enjoyed the fellowship. Now,as
i was going home after the sabbath, around 6.30pm,the
minibus we were travelling in was hijacked by a group of
boys who lead us into someforest and
beat us after which they took our phones and all the
money we had.
Now i dont have ma phone but i reported to the celtel
that they may restore ma line. right now, am using that
other Safaricom number with that other phone which is
not clear-0712438239. I sustained some slight injuries
in the left eye and also in the mouth but not very
serious. The general situation in the country is
worsening. The violence is spreading to new areas and
advancing towards Nairobi.
It has now advanced to wthin 80 kilometers to Nairobi.
And even in the town, it is not safe since this kind of
hijacking are allover. We trust God for protection, as
we also strive to learn according to his will.
Since i lost the phone on Sartuday, i have not been able
to communicate with the brethren since they cant
access me now. I hope they are all fine.
How goes everything with you there? May i hope it is
fine and peaceful.
Dangerous times are trully with us here.
Mutulu
