Jesus told us that those who are blessed are those who make peace. Our prayers go out to all the people of Kenya in this difficult time in their history. Particularly we pray for those in the Rift Valley, Kisumu, Navasha, Gilgal, and Nakuru. We pray for Bishops Bernard Obora Afwanda, Joshua Ayoo Koyo, and Zedekiah Otsula Chunge who serve over the areas of Kenya that are most affected by the outbreaks of violence. We know that these incredible men of God will be given wisdom in bringing the message of reconciliation to the people committed to their care. We stand with all those in Kenya who seek peace. For we know that in Christ Jesus and at the cross all barriers are broken down.

Under His mercy,

The Most Rev. Craig W. Bates,
Patriarch, ICCEC
