Looking back on 2012, it is clear that insecurity is affecting the lives of countless people throughout every country that CBM is serving in Africa. From refugees fleeing the Democratic Republic of Congo and entering Rwanda, to strife in South Sudan and the Horn of Africa, the need for compassionate response and peace is high. 

This past weekend, our CBM Muslim Ministry team in Kenya met with our Africa team leader, Colin Godwin, and our CBM General Secretary, Sam Chaise, to discuss the security situation in Kenya and our plans for Integral Mission in 2013. We are excited for the opportunities that we have to strengthen the ministry of local churches and Muslim majority communities in improving mutual well-being and peace. We are thankful for our committed African partners who are dedicated to seeing the hope of Christ bring transformation and healing into their communities.

In Kenya, our colleagues Gato Munyamasoko and Yattani Gollo are coordinating Peace and Reconciliation efforts with the Africa Brotherhood Church and African Christian Church & Schools as they help their communities prepare for the upcoming Kenya national elections called for this March. Please remember our team and partners as we seek God’s leading in building peace.
