“Despite irregularities in the vote tabulation, now is not the time to throw that strong democracy away,” Obama said, one day before a contest in Iowa launches the state-by-state nominating contests in the 2008 White House race.
“Now is a time for President Kibaki, opposition leader Odinga, and all of Kenya’s leaders to call for calm, to come together, and to start a political process to address peacefully the controversies that divide them,” Obama said.

This is Pastor John Das, son of Apostle Harry Das, the Founder of Chrisco Fellowship in Kenya. I would like to say that our prayers are with you all . Although I am not physically there in Kenya this time, my heart aches because of your present pain. God has a tremendous purpose for Kenya which must be fullfilled. Please have faith, and pray like never before…. May God sincerely Bless you and help you. My Father Apostle Harry Das is releasing his official statment at http://www.DasMinistries.com. He and my mother have been serving God in the Nation of Kenya for almost 30 years.
And by the way, I agree with Obama’s comment. We must work together for peace!!!!
