PRAYER POINTS
Please pray for the following: That Kadawa will have enough food. That police will not be brutal. That older people will not catch the virus. That people will not resist the government guidelines. In the city of Kisumu shops remain open, but the local fruit and vegetable market is closed - denying many vendors income. There have been many hard rains, and many houses have been destroyed. The house building fund is becoming nearly diminished. There has been so much standing water and mud that crops have been destroyed. |
