My Kenyan colleague is in the USA at the moment, so I can’t even ask him if his own family are safe. What can we do but pray?

I don’t believe the missionaries are the worst offenders… the Colonial powers drawing up national boundaries based around geographical features rather than tribal identity or ancestral lands hasn’t helped. Nor has economic systems of trade that advantage the West. Nor has political covert interference by Western nations… especially in the cold war era by Russia and the U.S. Nor has impositions of political / military systems that work in the West but haven’t perhaps been translated to work with cultural realities. Nor has the world community’s tendency to tolerate the utterly intolerable as if African nations are a special case… we seem far more willing to ignore civil war, genocide and famine there than we are if white people are involved….

As you say Sonja… Christ have mercy…

For a week or so now I’ve been mulling over the situation in Africa, especially where Christianity and missions are and have been concerned. It’s terrible. In a few days I may have more to say about it on my blog. For now I can only say I’m making a commitment to pray more regularly for the nations and tribes of Africa.

I hadn’t seen this until today on the blogs, and then read about it on the internet. Christ have mercy indeed!

It’s really awful. I’m struggling with the plight of so many people/countries at the moment – Kenya, Pakistan, Iraq, Zimbabwe, to name but a few. I really don’t know what to do. I pray, but there must be more. There is so much turmoil in the world. I pray that the Lord forgives us for our part.

Thanks Sonja, I hadn't heard about this. Wow. Is nothing sacred anymore? Incidentally...
