KENYA

Receive Christian greetings from Nairobi, Kenya.

The coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the entire world, and we are all gripped by its impact. Our church is responding to both the needs of their members spiritually and physically and seeking to cooperate with the strong measures taken to slow the spread of the virus to better care for the afflicted.

We are currently slow in our daily businesses and actually closed down all churches on Sunday and most of them were able to stream online services while the Church TV was able to air five services on Sunday i.e Children’s, English, Kiswahili, Kikuyu and Youth services. We are continually encouraging our members to “shelter in place” as we put our trust in God that the pandemic will finally slow down.

I would like to encourage you all as our partners during this time and reassure you of our prayers during this difficult time.

As people we are confident in the Lordship of Jesus Christ, we proclaim that hope is the antidote to fear. Our prayer for the people of Kenya and the global community comes from Romans 15:13 “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”  Hope is not dependent on our circumstances; it is based on the faithfulness of God.

Thank you and God bless,

Rev. Peter Kaniah,

Secretary General, Presbyterian Church of East Africa
