Maasai Monday: Refugees

Imagine being forced to leave the only home you've ever known. Imagine having to leave behind everything to ensure that you would live. Imagine trying to start a new life in a strange place away from the people and places you're most familiar with.

Over 250,000 people have been displaced since the uproar that took place in Kenya over the December elections. Many refugees have fled to Simon's village (Caleb's brother on this project & translator). Many refugees have lost their fathers, mothers, and children. Most are relying on the kindness of strangers to provide them with food, water, shelter, and comfort. So today's prayer focus is on the refugees...

• Pray for God's provision through the generosity of His people.
• Pray for believers to continue to step up and show unconditional love to these refugees that have lost it all!
• Pray for wisdom for Simon on how to best use the resources he's been given.
• Pray for the hearts of these many refugees to be drawn to the One who gives abundant life.
• Continue to pray for a spirit of peace to flood the hearts of those at the center of all the violence.

"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." -Rm 12:12
