Chris (lead pastor) drove into Uganda and bought food a few weeks ago and distributed it to our other pastors, as he could. Now he probably cannot get out safely again, since his tribe is included in the new round of fighting. One of our pastor's familiy was taking sanctuary at a police station, but Chris went and got them and hid them somewhere. Two others have lost their homes; I'm not sure where they are, but Chris is in contact with them all. Weirdly the only pastors in Kenya we have that are safe are the ones up in the Sudan desert region, which is usually the worst place. But they are far removed from this fighting, since they are all Samburu or Turkana, and their tribes are not involved.
Remember Ben, the first guy we had over there? He has actually brought his family to Arkansas for the duration of the trouble.
