Ngong Road, paralleling Kibera slum, is often a site of political unrest. Africa Inland Church of Ngong Road, deeply concerned about the tribal hatred recently displayed throughout Kenya, demonstrated the love of Christ bringing people together.

It chose elders, each of a different tribe, to serve communion. Elders were only to serve members of other tribes. As the people lined up to receive communion, one could not help but see the love these Christians had for one another.

The troubles facing the nation are not over, many people are still in camps, afraid to return to their homes and farms, and the harvest will be affected which will result in food shortages. In some areas tensions are still high. But as this simple communion shows, healing is happening. We must continue to pray for Kenya.
