I was part of an outreach organized by local Kenyans on Sunday. Their goal was to provide water, food, and fuel to hundreds of people in an IDP (internally displaced people) camp nearby. These people had fled during the violence of last January, and now were trying to start a new life as refugees in another location in Kenya. Their situation is grim, but God holds each one of these lives in His hands.
