Christian radio station Hope FM in Kenya has received a threat in an anonymous letter.  In response, members of Nairobi Pentecostal Church (NPC) have begun a three-day fast.

NPC Bishop Boniface Adoyo called for the fast in a letter read to church members on Sunday, saying the threatening letter also mentioned other churches targeted for attack over unspecified reasons.

“We are therefore urging you to fast and pray,” Bishop Adoyo said.

On Friday (8 December), the church’s senior pastor, David Oginde, met government officials in Nairobi, who promised him that an investigation would be launched on the authorship of the letter.

Last May, the same radio station was attacked by eight gunmen after broadcasting a discussion comparing the Bible with the Quran.  In that incident, a security guard was killed, three others injured, and the building damaged by fire.

The gunmen have not yet been apprehended.
