Hi,
I missed the Saturday posting, cause we decided to visit our son in the Mount Kenya region. He is in a boarding school there, and whenever there is a visiting day, it is very important to go and spend some quality time together. But he is doing very well and getting ready for his Standard eight exam. We hope his grades will be good so that he can join a secondary school and continue his studies. By the way the region up there at Mt. Kenya is very beautiful and extremely fertile. It is full of exotic fruits and its unique aroma. We spent one night in a lodge and went for a hike in this beautiful surrounding.
A few days earlier we had a prayerconference somewhere in Nairobi in order to intensify our prayerefforts toward Somalia. The host was a prayerteam from Nigeria, sponsered by Worldvision. The interesting thing was that it was almost all black, from different nations in Africa, and only a few of us whites. It was a great time to pray together and seek Gods face for that nation which is in turmoil for so many years. So far all peace negotiations have failed and we believe that the answer to get lasting peace is in prayer. We had a report on Uganda where the LRA movement was fighting the south with extreme brutality and no weapons were able to defeat those demonic powers. Until pastors and christian leaders got together and went to the president and told him that the answer lies in prayer and the powers of evil can only be destroyed in the name of Jesus. So the army took pastors in those regions and they destroyed altars of worship and declared the name of Jesus in those lands and the result was the defeat of Joseph Kony, their leader. Now there is peace in Uganda, whereby one can travel in all corners of the land without fear and don't need armed escort.
Otherwise, Dorothy and I are leaving Kenya at the end of this week to go to Germany for one week. Dorothy will be with me for just one week and then go back, and I will continue with the homeassignment for a few more months.
I will keep you posted, Thomas
