Call for prayer
The recent election (Dec 27) in Kenya has brought about a lot of violence. There is contention that the elected official has been elected through corruption. (The parties are from different tribes and the divisiveness is tribal as well) David Kipkorir and his family have left the Harvest Grove Compound and moved to a safer area about 4 kilometers away. Most of his neighbors have also fled their homes to avoid the violence of the fighting between the parties.
David and his family travelled all night by foot to stay in the house that they are borrowing. They are safe but prices of food and other supplies have doubled and tripled. Police have been sent in to guard the nearby towns of Eldoret and Ilula and travel into town is restricted to getting a police escort. The towns are closed after 2pm. David said, "We have not seen this kind of violence since 1963 when our country got its freedom."
David traveled back to the Harvest Grove farm yesterday (Jan 6) to check on the farm and it has been undisturbed. The passion fruits are ripening. Travel is dangerous. He will wait about a week before attempting to travel there again if the violence subsides.
David, his families and the other members of the community center are all depending on the Lord and need prayer for safety and for survival. There is a small fund that we have recieved as a response to the last newsletter that we are designating to personal support for David and his family. If you are moved to add to this support, please indicate that it can be used for personal support.
Kim,
I have deposited the funds that you sent for Harvest Grove. I am sending these funds to David's personal account as his family is greatly in need of assistance at this time. Violence has broken out as a result of the recent election in Kenya and opposing parties/tribes are fighting all over Kenya. David and his family have left the Harvest Grove Center and are hiding out about 4 kilometers from the farm. They are safe but are in need of support. I know you will not mind that I have designated your donation for personal support. David and his family want you to know that they are most grateful.
Love and blessings
