All Set for National Prayer Service
September 30, 2013
Preparations for tomorrow’s national prayer service at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre are now complete. The prayer service that will be graced by His Excellencies President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto has been organized by the Inter-Religious Council of Kenya following the recent West gate Mall terrorist attack that left 67 people dead and scores of others injured. During the service various religious leaders are expected to seek God’s intervention in the country, pray for hope, restoration and spiritual and moral healing while emphasizing on Kenyans togetherness irrespective of their diversity.
The religious leaders have been meeting at Nairobi’s Harambee house to plan for the service that will take place at KICC’s Comesa grounds starting 9.am. Security agencies in the country have intensified surveillance in the country after Somalia’s Al Shabab militia that claimed responsibility over the West gate Mall attack issued fresh threats.
The recent terrorist attack on Kenyan soil received wide condemnation across the globe with world leaders pledging to support Kenya in her quest against the Al Shabab. The Inter-Religious Council of Kenya brings together various religious groups among them, the National Council of Churches of Kenya, the Kenya Catholic Church Bishops, the Supreme Council of Kenyan Muslims(SUPKEM), the National Muslim Leaders Forum (NAMLEF) among others.
