Schopf Family Update - Part 3

The Nation of Kenya

This is our last update in a series and at the moment it is the most important one of all.

Kenya is an amazing country and the people here have become our family and friends. Currently,
Kenya has 2 very pressing issues and we would love your help to stand with us in prayer and
support.

1. Presidential election
​
This Tuesday, our country will be going to the polls to decide on the newest President and government for this nation. In the past elections have been tarnished with violence and corruption.
​
People here in general are cautiously optimistic about this election. We are remaining here and although we are being cautious we don't feel that there is any cause for concern. However, we would appreciate you standing with us in prayer. Here are some ways that are helpful to pray:

• That peace would reign​
• That God's appointed person would be elected
• That the process would be corruption free

2. The drought

The other significant issue facing Kenya at the moment is the lack of water. Although, Kenya has received some rain it has not been the quantity that we needed. Currently, the water situation is critical and we are only receiving mains water on weekends. Thankfully, we have storage tanks but many do not. We have seen some reports suggesting that Nairobi could run out of water by October.

Please stand with us and pray that we would receive the much needed rain in the right places. Also pray for the government for wisdom to handle this situation well. We want to reassure you that we are fine and well. Please do not worry about our safety and well being. We are trusting that our Lord is watching over us.

God bless,
Love Anthony, Fiona, Zoe, Pippa and Lucy
