^   PRAYER FOCUS: KENYA

Derek Roulston (a PCI Missionary) has informed us that early last Sunday morning, three Kenya Wildlife Service Rangers were shot and killed in an ambush about 35 miles from the Galana Project.  An armed gang of five, heading to kill elephant and rhino in Tsavo Game Reserve, engaged the seven rangers in a gun battle which lasted for several hours, during which four of the gang were killed and one was injured and escaped.  Pray for families in grief and for the safety and security of Kenya Wildlife Service Rangers, the local people in the Galana region and the Roulston family.
