Youth for Christ / Crisis Pregnancy Ministries
Kenya

Work: Counsel young people facing a crisis pregnancy or other related difficulties (rape, etc.), assist Executive Director with various administrative duties, supervise the counselling staff and volunteers.

Prayer requests: Kenya is revising their constitution, and there is pressure by some lobbyists to legalise abortion. Most Kenyans really do not want abortion legalised, but a small group of vocal advocates for abortion are pushing for it. Also, pressure is being exerted by the Muslim community (comprising about 20-25% of the population) to put Kadhi courts into the national legal system (Muslim court system for domestic issues). Once introduced in this way, it becomes easy, step by step, for Islamic law to become the law of the land, as is the case in northern Nigeria. Kenyans fear what is happening in Nigeria will also happen here if we don't stop it now.
