Police Defuse Bomb in Church

[293] prayers in [16] nations have been posted for Pastor Galgallo and Church Members.

Local police defused a bomb placed in an evangelical church in eastern Kenya. Pastor Galgallo noticed a strange item in his Evangelical Victory Church in Merti before the start of the morning service on May 12. He immediately took a photo and reported it to the police. The police called bomb experts from the Kenyan army, who were able to defuse the bomb after several hours. They determined the bomb had been placed there the night before by a local terrorist group. In February of this year, police in the area discovered a truck from Somalia filled with weapons and explosives intended for an unknown target. Thank God that the pastor noticed the bomb and that it did not go off. Pray for the believers in this area.
