Lutheran Church Torched

Hell has broken loose in Kibera slum the biggest ghetto in sub-Saharan Africa. Kibera is estimated to have over 1.2 millon people who live in shanties. Most of its residents earn less than 2 dollars a day making life very difficult.

It is unfortunate that Kibera has experienced the worst violence after the election, because of its multiethnic population the tension and fighting is very high with the opponents torching and destroying houses and properties.

Our affiliate church known as Springs of Life Lutheran Church in Kibera was not spared either. A group of arsonists burned down the church and other facilities within its compound.

The arsonists and thugs first looted church equipments and later burned down the medical center that had been set up recently and a nursery school that were within the same compound. This unfolding of events has baffled many because church as a sacred as it is has been desecrated. Pray with us for peace and calm to return to our beloved country.
