Pilgrimage of Trust in Nairobi

Pilgrimage of Trust in Nairobi
26 to 30 November 2008

The announcement of the meeting came at dramatic time for Kenya. Each day the media brought news of the violence that followed the elections. Kenya and the victims of the troubles were very present in the prayer of the Geneva meeting.
Rev. Simon Githiora and Father Peter Muigai, responsible for youth ministry with the Presbyterians and Catholics of Kenya, had come to Geneva specially for the announcement of the Nairobi meeting. Two young people from Kenya, who had also come specially for the meeting, Japhet and Peter, followed on after Brother Alois: Japhet: We are happy to welcome an African stage in the “pilgrimage of trust on earth”. We will show you how young people support a hope in our country. You will see how important hospitality in families and communities is for us. Peter: We want to say to you all in Swahili: “Karibu Kenya, welcome to Kenya!”
