The following prayer request for Kenya comes from Brian Bakke (Mustard Seed Foundation).

Greetings from the Mustard Seed Americas desk.  I just received a special urgent prayer request for Kenya from Victor.  He wrote me just this minute:

“I would like to request for a special prayer request for  Kenya. The military forces launched its full scale military offensive about two weeks ago against Al-Shabaab have been on a full scale at at war for the past two weeks. Al-Shabaab literally means the "youth or the Boys or the lads" in Arabic.They are a militant terrorist group fighting to overthrow the Somali government. Al Shabaab's strength is estimated to be about 20,000 militants. The group describes itself as waging Jihad against "enemies of Islam".

Unfortunately Al-Shabaab being a terrorist group uses fear and destruction against innocent civilians as a weapon. Already there has been twin grenade attacks which shattered the calm of Nairobi. The first targeted a nightclub early Monday morning, while the second hit commuters waiting to board one of Nairobi’s ubiquitous “matatus”, or minibus taxis. In total, one person was killed and another 32 injured, some critically; one casualty is likely to have his leg amputated, while another might lose sight in one eye.

Pray for God's protection across Nairobi. Pray for calm and courage among Kenyans particularly in Nairobi to continue doing their businesses as usual. Pray for divine intervention that this war will not be long and protracted and that peace shall be found in Somali and Kenyan boarders.”

Lets pray for The Lord to break into this situation and stop the violence and terror.
