14 Feb 2008 Make Kenya your Valentine! 24 hour Healing Prayer Chain
 

In February 2008, Kenya was going through some turbulent times following the post election crisis. Talks between the opposing parties were deadlocked, in spite of international peace efforts, and thousands of Kenyans were displaced refugees in their own country!!
We organized and carried out a 24 hour Healing / Prayer Chain for peace in Kenya. People from all over the world joined us in this unique effort: Dubai, Canada, UK, USA, Australia, India, Switzerland and of course Kenya. They consisted of groups from Temples, Mosques, and Churches, and individuals with love for Kenya in their hearts! Some were as young as 6 years! The other end of the age range were 76 years old!! The prayer chain was from 6.00 am February 14th, Valentines Day, to 6.00 am February 15th.
In effect, we made Kenya our Valentine! We sent her Love and Healing on Valentines Day!! The Chain was repeated a week later on 21st February. And what was the result? A breakthrough was made in the talks and Peace followed soon. We do believe the 24 hour Healing / Prayer chain contributed greatly to this change!
