BULLETIN FOR SUNDAY MAY 31, 2015

We greet and welcome you in the all-powerful name of Jesus. May His presence fill your life today.

A terrorist attack by Somali militants on a Kenyan University, primarily against Christians, has left approximately 150 persons dead. This has been verified by a spokesperson for Al-Shabaab. “There are many dead bodies of Christians inside the building. We are also holding many Christians alive,” Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab, told Reuters. Another Al-Shabaab spokesperson told the AFP that militants had released the Muslims but that they were holding others hostage.

Eyewitnesses said that gunmen arrived at Garissa University College early Thursday morning and took hostages from a Morning Prayer service. World Watch Monitor and Morning Star News also covered the attack. It has been noted that taking hostages is a new strategy for this group. Previous attacks have focused primarily on killing. The group’s new tactic has raised fears as to what the gunmen’s intent may be.

Apostle Edghill and Pastor Emily express sincere appreciation and heartfelt thanks to all the members and ministry groups of FEA. Your labor of love and kind cooperation helped to make Spiritual Warriors Convention 2015 a great success.

There have been three attacks in the last two years in which this group has separated hostages according to religious identity and murdered them accordingly; the siege at Westgate Shopping Mall in September 2013, the hijacking of a bus travelling from Mandera to Nairobi in November 2014, and the attack on a quarry in Mandera in December 2014.

With all this in view, what should be the believer’s response in times like these? The answer is in Philippians chapter 1 and verse 21: “For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”
