Rev Dr David Clarke (Moderator), his wife Hazel and Rev Uel Marrs (Overseas Secretary) all arrived safely in Kenya.  They will visit Stephen Cowan in Tuum this weekend, leaving tomorrow Monday 23rd.  They will then fly to Mombassa where they will meet with the Roulston family and spend a few days visiting the Galana Community Development Project and PCEA Pwani Presbytery.  Pray for safety, especially in travel!  Also remember in your prayers the Roulston children – Joshua (5) who has had malaria and Amy (13) who has been suffering from viral fever. There has been heavy rain storms in the area which increases the population of mosquitoes, thereby increasing the risk of malaria attacks.
