Mac Elections

Horns honking, people & flags hanging out windows of cars cruising the streets, groups of people young & old carrying Macedonian & political party flags (or wearing them) heading towards the center square to celebrate the leading parties electoral victory... this is what greeted me when I came home from a friends house on Sunday evening.

The ruling party won re-election yet the victory was overshadowed by the violence that broke out, including an area just about a mile from me on the other side of town. In several places voting was even suspended. This news even made it to CNN as well as some other mainstream news agencies.

Thank you for your prayers for Sunday, but please do keep praying as who knows what the political fallout will be and what it means for future security and stability here. Mostly, though, please pray for the people. Thank you.
