Emphasizing the critical role of prayer in the mission's success, Rachel Ruto stated, "We cannot allow our police to go to Haiti without prayer. We had pastors from Haiti, America, and we are seeing how these three countries can come together to pray because we believe with prayer everything is possible."
The first lady said the team would invoke divine guidance and protection over the forces to be deployed and the broader mission of restoring peace and stability in Haiti.
"We have come together to say we want to form a prayer strategy, and we would like you to join us in praying for this great country of Haiti because we know the Lord can transform Haiti. We have seen what God has done for the nation of Kenya, and we believe God can do the same for nations of the world," she added.

The coalition aims to galvanize support from various faith communities across the participating nations, creating a robust spiritual backing for the personnel involved in the mission.
