YWAM Missionary Murdered in Kenya

Charisma News has just learned that a Youth with a Mission (YWAM) missionary was murdered in Kenya just hours ago.

At approximately 1 a.m. on Feb. 25, armed robbers broke into a YWAM orphanage on Kenya’s Athi River about 50 kilometers outside of Nairobi.

Ebel and Lora Kremer, the Dutch couple that managed the orphanage, were inside. YWAM reports that Ebel was shot and killed in front of his wife and their two small children. YWAM also reports that a night watchman was injured in the shooting.

“The orphanage shares a property with a YWAM community which is preparing to host a Discipleship Training School graduation this evening and has recently received students for a new DTS. Member care professionals from YWAM Africa’s trauma team and other YWAM leaders are on the scene to provide support and care,” YWAM said in a statement. “Your prayers are requested for the family, staff and students of YWAM Athi River.”
