On Monday, March 4, 2013 the country of Kenya faces an historic election. This is the first election since the formation of their new constitution and it will radically change the style of government. There is a lot of hope and a lot of concern riding on this election. This could have impact on all the missions and ministries operating in Kenya.
This election is one more example of the challenges we all face as nonprofit ministries hoping to effect positive change in developing nations. Forms of government change, leaders change, rules change and along the way we must learn to navigate in ways that allow ministry to move forward.
As I go forward with the launch of The Shepherd Fund which will partner with Carlile College in Kenya, it comes with awareness that there will be new rules after March 4. For those interested in the radical changes coming to Kenya Dr. Peter Nyende, Principal of Carlile, put together a very concise explanation of the new government along with the promises and pitfalls. Please keep Kenya in your prayers and spread the word to other prayer partners between now and Monday.
