Obama Is Being Welcomed By Kenyan Leaders… Except for This Minor Detail

07.21.2015 | News | Alicia Powe |

Seven hundred Christian pastors in Kenya have written an open letter to President Obama asking him not to push the homosexual agenda during to the country this week to open the sixth Global Entrepreneurship Summit.

“I believe that with all my heart with that agenda he is ruining America because America has been known as a Christian nation,” said Bishop Mark Kariuki, the architect of the letter. “It has been known as a nation that has sent missionaries out. Now it is a different nation all together because it is an agenda against God!”

Kenya is 82% Christian and homosexuality is currently illegal there and they want to keep it that way. Kenya’s penal code, in fact, says any individual “who has carnal knowledge of any person against the order of nature” can face 14 years jail time. Homosexuality is also illegal in 37 other African countries.

Bishop Kariuki welcomes Obama’s visit but says leave “the gay talk” in America. He Obama is destroying America with his support for gay marriage.

“The family is the strength of a nation. If the family is destroyed, then the nation is destroyed. So we don’t want to open doors for our nation to be destroyed,” he said. “It is an abomination to God. Kenya is 82 percent Christian. So, as far as our conviction and our faith are concerned it is not a natural thing.”

Kariuki leads an alliance representing 38,000 churches and 10 million Kenyan Christi

Pro-family activists took to the streets of Nairobi, Kenya earlier this month, urging President Obama to avoid the subject when he visits the country.

Irungu Kangata, a lawmaker in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s The National Alliance (TNA) party, said, “We are telling Mr. Obama when he comes to Kenya this month and he tries to bring the abortion agenda, the gay agenda, we shall tell him to shut up and go home.”

It will be Obama’s first visit as president to his father’s homeland.
