Please pray for our

Fighting
broke out again last evening right in Isiolo where we
are, lest than 3 km from where we are staying and doing trainings. There is a
killing in a place where we have a Church plant and it is in this place where
we are to do medical camp this morning. 40 of the people who are in CPM
training are stranded and had fears as we were praying last night. Please pray
for us. Most of our Church Planters are here with me, Medical Camp team and we
are all stranded, and tomorrow we were to go to Laisamis
to be among the Samburu/Rendille,
we don't know the safety on the way so we need your prayers. The fighting in Isiolo is between Somalis and Turkanas.
The fighting here have completely affected our Church Planting movements, and
its hard even to locate some of the believers who had moved far away to the
region
Also same thing happened yesterday where our Church Planters and partners are
meeting in Moyale. There is a training going on in Moyale for all the Church planters and partners from South
Ethiopia and Northern Kenya at the time when this happened. Our Coordinator
reported to me that Yesterday afternoon, the fighting broke out in Moyale town between Gabbra and Boran, less than 2 km where the meeting is taking place.
The training could not go on for the afternoon session, as 60 people who are in
the training on Church planting and Leadership took cover and resorted to
prayers. When i talk to Adisu
our field coordinator, they were still worried and don’t know how this is going
to turn out to be, the gun fighting started around 11 am and went on up 6 pm in
the evening. Houses were burnt, some people reported to have died, i will get the full reports this morning to help me make
decisions to call off the meeting and whether i can
proceed for the remaining Please pray for:
1. God's wisdom on how i can make decision for this
day. We have 40 people on training and 11 for medical Camp and i have to make this decision within the next 2 hours
2. Pray that in all these the people of God will find peace, the displaced
Churches and their families
3. At the training we have church planters from all these fighting tribes, let
them be able to stay together without fearing of what is happening outside
4. Many of the people in the villages had run to areas where the police are,
please pray for the Churches which are being displaced
5. Pray for me that i may stay strong, be able to
advise well the teams on the ground
Blessings and thanks for your prayers

5. Immigrant Pathway Institute
Immigrant Hope and World Relief have joined forces to offer a class
for people interested in serving and reaching the vulnerable immigrants in our
community. Immigrant Pathway Institute is
a week-long, 40-hour survey of immigration law. It is an introductory
class designed to give attendees a solid foundation for understanding the
immigration system and the experiences of the immigrants they know and
serve. It can also serve as the first step toward earning the government
certification necessary for workers at non-profits (like churches) to offer
advice on immigration legal issues. The class will be held at Trinity
International University, May 14-18, 2012. No prior experience or training
is required to attend.
For more information, please contact me or visit www.immigranthope.org/ipi.
