IMPORTANT: NEW WEBSITE and LAST BLOG POST

Greetings to everyone in the name of Jesus Christ!

We have been very busy preparing some things for you all...

Just recently we have totally re-done our website (it is actually under the same web address www.cwfan.org)! You will be able to find a lot of new things there. Keep in mind that we are still working on it, so not everything is up to date or has content. But God willing in the coming weeks, we will slowly be adding more and more content to the site.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

We will no longer be doing blog posts on this site. Instead, you will find all of our blog posts on the new site, and all you have to do is click on the "CWFAN News" button. Or, from the home page you will be able to our most recent blog posts / updates. Additionally, we hope to be posting a weekly "video update." This will basically be Leah and Phil sharing about the experiences of the week and what God is doing in and through us in the country of Kenya.

Also, unfortunately we have lost many of your email addresses. If you want to receive our monthly updates (this also has been re-done), please go to the site, and from the home page, you can sign up simply by entering your name and email address.

Additionally, you will find a section called "Walk in His Word." These are simple Bible studies and reflections from God's Word - it is like a daily devotional.

In regards to financial support, you will find a page that will give you an opportunity to donate to CWFAN through PayPal. There are several options there... You can do a one-time donation, or as you will see, you can set up a monthly donation through (also PayPal). site (whic

THANKING GOD FOR PEACE and Praying that it continues

Greetings in the glorious name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

We thank the Lord of Earth and Heaven, the Sovereign of all the Universe, that He in His grace and mercy has granted peace to the nation of Kenya! Indeed, we do well to recognize that true peace (whether that be within a believer or within a nation) can only come from God the Father!

With the exception of a small town near Mombasa, there was peace throughout the entire nation. In Mombasa, there were some radicals from a sepratist group called MRC who attacked police officers. About 15 people died. And indeed, we know that even one death is too much - yet, this is significantly better than the thousands killed and hundreds of thousands who were displaced in the post election violence of 2007.

It is the privaledge of those who prayed to rejoice with thanksgiving in the work of God through the prayers of His saints.

This peace is a reflection of the peace that we can have with God through our Lord Jesus Christ! We called upon the name of the Lord, we sought Him for months, we prayed, we worshipped, we fasted - and God brought peace. It is indeed a great comfort to all who follow Jesus to know that HE HEARS OUR PRAYERS!

But please, please continue to pray!

The constitution of Kenya allows those who feel the process was not done with integrity to go to the courts and file their complaints. The other popular candidate (who lost by only by a small percentage) is going to the courts today (Monday) in order to challenge the outcome of the March 4th elections. Should the courts decide to re-do the vote, the supporters of the President-elect would be extremely upset. Should the courts decide NOT to re-do the vote, the man who lost could really cause some havok. He had something like 4-5 million voters (nearly 45% of the voting population) strongly on his side. If he told them to take to the streets, there would be great chaos and the loss of many lives.

Please continue to pray for Kenya! But please also pray for us as we try to minister to the people of Kenya throughout this time.

Blessings, and May the GOD OF PEACE rule in our hearts!

Amen.
