Pastor Eric's Kenya Blog - so far away from you

so far away from you

Sunday, January 13, 2008, 01:25 PM

Two weeks from today, January 13, 2008, I was to preach in a thriving church in the heart of Nairobi. We were excited about visiting with old friends and meeting new ones. Last week the church was burned to the ground. The pastor lost his home and all their personal belongings. Many families... like tens of thousands across Kenya... have taken losses that will take years to rebuild. Unles The Lord intervenes- I won't be in Kenya in the next two weeks, possibly not for months to come. Seems impossible.

I don't understand the social/political issues tearing Kenya apart today- not well enough to comment on them. I understand being angry, feeling cheated, like the bottoms fallen out on our hopes and dreams... people everywhere know pain. Mostly right now I just feel so far away from people I love. People I was looking forward to sharing a cup of tea with. A community that's opened their arms to us with a gentle embrace... and I'm heart broken for their losses and praying for healing.

To my friends in Kenya- I love you, we'll be together soon, hold on to hope... hold on to The Lord. He'll never let go of you... even when His church is burning. Pray that He'll open the door for us to be together again soon. Know that we're praying for peace.

much love and many prayers,

Eric
