NAIROBI, Kenya--At least two WCG members were within 100 meters of the blast that hit the U.S. Embassy Aug. 7. Richard Ngugi and Peter Njuguna were driving near the embassy when the blast lifted Richard off the driver's seat and threw him out of the car. Peter moved the car and himself to safety, and went back to look for Richard.
Failing to find Richard, Peter came to the church office, about 300 meters from the site, where I was monitoring activities. About 30 minutes later, Richard also came to the office. He had been looking for Peter and had, after failing to locate him, reported the loss of his employer's vehicle to his employer and to the police. Naturally, the two men were overjoyed to find each other again.
On Saturday, Aug. 8, we had a special church service in Nairobi dedicated to victims of the bomb blast. Members took turns praying for those affected by the bombing. The outreach group then organized members who wished to donate blood so they could all go together. God's Spirit has moved the Christians in Nairobi to respond in an encouraging manner. I have personally seen love in action over the last few days. For that I can only thank our Father in heaven.
