Last Wednesday, I had dinner with my Kenya Connection teammates; Allison, a friend working in Uganda; and G------w, an Ethiopian living in Northern Kenya. G------w is a pastor with the Anglican Church and has a heart for reaching the Somali peoples with the gospel. The areas he works in practice strict Sharia law and tend to be very hostile to Christianity. G------w builds friendships with Somalis and helps out in Somali communities. In the process he addresses negative stereotypes, helps with reconciliation, and shares the love of Christ. Because of his work, he has been expelled from certain regions of Kenya and has been threatened with death. The tensions between Islam and Christianity have heightened during the past few years in Somalia, and the rise of militant Islam and Islamic fundamentalism has made it difficult for many missionaries and aid workers. If anyone is interested in learning more about G------w and compassionate Christian outreach and service to Somalis in Kenya, please let us know at kenyaconnection@gmail.com.
