Terrorist Threat: Our God Is Greater

Some of you may have seen the news that an imminent terrorist threat was identified and announced yesterday for Kenya.  A few days ago, Kenyan troops were sent into Somalia to fight Al-Shabaab, a militant group affiliated with Al Qaeda.  Over the past few weeks, Somali militants have kidnapped a total of five Europeans vacationing or working along the Kenya-Somali border (which happens to be on the other side of the country from where we live).

From the outset, I'd like to say that "Our God Is Greater!"  I just finished teaching the boys at Agape about how God is so much greater than any of our fears, using David facing Goliath as an example.  The same applies for our family here in Kenya; God is so much greater than any fears or concerns for our safety that we may have.  When we were praying about moving our family to Kenya, we came to understand a significant truth . . . God is sovereign in Kenya, the same as God is sovereign in the United States!!!  We derive our peace and security from the Lord!!!

To further calm any other concerns, a lot of dealing with "security" questions like this is to use common sense.  Don't hang out where a lot of westerners may be . . . . be vigilant about your surroundings . . . purchase an AK-47 (just kidding).  Anyway, please pray that radical Islam will stay out of Kenya!!!
