Tensions in Isiolo

There have been tensions, including violence and a number of fatalities, in the area around Isiolo.  Isiolo is the town nearest to our village of Gambella.  The drought that is so severely affecting the horn of Africa is hitting Isiolo and surrounding villages as well.  These are tough times, leading to desperate acts.

We’re praying for more rain, and that crops can grow and livestock can graze—and that people would have hope, so that cooler heads would prevail.  I’m so thankful for our partnership with Gambella.  They have hope now that they wouldn’t have had if facing this drought several years earlier.  I will provide more updates as I learn more.
