Our Canadian Baptist Ministries colleagues Yattani and Michel
this past week in Nairobi, Kenya
In the aftermath of the July 1st attacks against churches in Garissa, North Eastern Province, our colleagues Yattani, Michel and William have continued walking in solidarity with the churches of Garissa. Last month, they hosted a gathering for Church leaders to share and heal from the trauma of the attacks and persecution that they have experienced. With the help of Canadian Baptist churches, we have also been able to provide funds to respond to the medical and burial costs for the families of the 18 people killed and 60 injured. Presently, many of the injured continue to receive care for the physical and emotional wounds from the attack.
Please continue to pray for our work in North Eastern Province. At the end of this month, we will be participating in a peace and reconciliation conference organized by CBM in Ruiru. Again in September, we will be facilitating a gathering of 44 Christian leaders and pastors in further training on post traumatic stress syndrome and integral mission. Walking in partnership with local churches in times like this is central to who we are as Canadian Baptists. Thank you for being a part of this ministry through your support, encouragement and prayer!
