Kenyan presidential elections are Thursday, December 27th. This is a dangerous time in Kenya. There are many riots, beatings, killings, etc. Please pray for the safety of all, particularly those in any form of government.
If you've read my blog much at all, you've read about my "Kenyan family." That's what I call them. They are family! (Little Timmy is the sweet one in thr picture on the top left.) This is who I live with when I am there, the Mayoli/Kivuitu family. It's a huge family, but I live with Mutua & Tina, Sammy & Timmy, and Musila the househelp. (You can see Tina & Mutua in the October Archives - Mzungu or Kenyan?) Mutua's dad, Samuel Kivuitu, is a Senior Member of Parliament, in charge of the entire electoral commission in Kenya. He is one of the few true, honest politicians in Kenya
. He is well-known for that. He is the exception, but is greatly respected in the country. Elections are his "baby." So, you can imagine the intense pressure he is under at this time. He is surrounded by body guards at all times. He is a man of God, trying passionately to do what is best for his country. At this crazy time, please pray for his safety.

This photo was on the Internet on today's Kenyan newspaper online, The Standard. (http://www.eastandard.net/) Pray for Mr. Kivuitu. Pray also that the Lord would bring the right man into the presidency, someone who is right and true and who cares for the well-being of the Kenyan people.
