Kenyan Christians praying for university massacre victims

by Hannah Tooley

Last week 148 people were killed in the attack, which took place on Thursday and was carried out by militant group al-Shabaab. The group allowed Muslim students to go free during the 13 hour siege.

Christian Today has reported that since the attack many in the country have criticised the lack of security. A Christian worker in Nairobi speaking in the Baptist Press said that one student voiced concerns that "anyone can just walk in off the street".

Campus Baptist Fellowship, at the University of Nairobi, has been hosting a day of prayer.

"The only way to stop terrorism is by the Gospel transforming the would-be attackers," the worker said.

"As in the case of Paul the Apostle, these men once transformed could turn the world of terror upside down for the glory of God."

CBF has also been planning to reach out to Somali students, who are at risk of being considered suspicious by peers.

Six suspects were taken to court on Tuesday in connection with the attack.
