Peace in Kenya
Yesterday, Kenyans went to the polls to vote for or against a new constitution. There had been wide spread fear that violence, like during the last presidential election, would erupt on the day of the vote or after the results were announced. Many people in Kenya and abroad prayed for peace, and so far, there has been no substantial violence.
The new constitution was approved by about two-thirds of the Kenyans who voted. It will replace the previous constitution from 1963. Please continue to pray for peace especially as the long process of implementation of the new constitution begins.
