Dear loved ones! We had an incredibly good trip back to the states. We flew out of Eldoret, watching the great news that we in Kenya have a goverment again, yea God! All flights were very comfortable as we got seats by each other. We left African sun and touched down in the states just in time to catch the end of winter, boy were we cold! We spent one night on the coast of Washington State, in the city of Everett. Tired as we were, we hardly felt the beds but the breakfast the next morning was fantastic. We rented a SUV to drive over the mountains seeing some of the Northwest sceinery that we love and visited with my father ( Phyllis ) in Wenatchee. It was a very full day, pulling into our daughter Jessica's house around 6:00 saturday evening. A warm welcome met us there from all our children & grandchildren, it was a very good ending for our 1st day back.













Horace was hit by the jet lag last time and this time it was me. It has taken me a full week to beable to function like myself. The kids seem to do the best. We spent two nights with Jessica and her family and then we moved into a apartment lent to us by our good friends Pastor Ray & Geri Tucker. They have offered us their hospitality here in the states while they are in Eldoret, pritty awsome, ha. It was much more than here are the keys, hope you are OK. No, Geri's sister Louise met us at the apartment where coffee, eggs, bacon, milk and Juice were waiting for us. There was a welcome home card and sign on the wall, wow! We are always overwhelmed with God's Grace towards us! Thank you Pastor Ray & Geri and all at Faith Tabernacle!!





Wednsday we ate dinner ( the best steak we have ever eated ) with our Pastors at Hope Chapel, Jeph & Jaclyn Chavez, it was great to talk and be with them again. We have been invited to apear on the local Christian TV station ( which is right outside our front door ) and we have already shared with our home Healing Rooms Team and several friends, our experiences while in Kenya. We are missing all our family & friends in Eldoret alot but we know already that the 2 months we have in the states will go quickly. At the end of March we will be traveling to Colorado to meet with the board of Children with Hope and discuss options for our work in kenya.

Thank you everyone who prayed us home safe and keep praying, your support means everything to us. Please pray for our stay that we would accomplish what God has us here for and pray for all our concerns back home in Kenya. Josh & Rachel are there holding down the fort! Josh is continuing what got started out on the property and Rachel is helping out at the Pastor's home where our foster children are staying. We love you all. We pray that God's blessings, as rich as they are, from His Glory be yours in full!!! Your Leisters in the USA for a short time!

Holidays in Kenya!

Hi all our loved ones in the states! We are still very on and off with the internet. We just today changed to a new service, prayfully it will help our concistancy. We have now had 3 birthdays and Thanksgiving in Kenya. Marvin's, Myself andd Troy's we had people from 9:30am to 10:30pm ,it was a great day' On Thanksgiving we were invited to the Church of Christ,Discipleship Colege, to have lunch with all the foreign missionaries. That means that everyone was white excet the 2 wemon whom we have met who are married to Americans. It was very odd for us at first because we had not seen a group of whites the whole time we have been here. There were about 50 of us counting children, the children we have never seen in town. There were some from America, Germany, Switzerland and France. The Europieans do not celebrate Thanksgiving obviously but they like to socilize with other white foke. It was a very nice day and the food was great! They invited us to a missions prayer time eac

A Miracle Month!

Wow, what a month February has been! I think I will declare the unconditional love of God and His favor at the beginning of every month! We have had so many testimonies to God's miracles around us! So I am releasing the Spirit of Prophesy in proclaiming the testimony of Jesus! We have a new housekeeper ( described as house help here in Kenya) she has worked for us around 3 months. Her and her husband pastor a church in one of the slum areas,Heruma. This area was one of the areas most hit by the violence last year. Many sad stories, many women and children left abandoned because of a dead or just missing husband. Bea and Francis minister to these families! They are good people and good workers too, Francis has been working on the new house with Horace. While working in our kitchen Bea noticed that we had a super surplus of 500ml tins with lids. These tins are what the babies formula comes in and we go through about 5 a week. We have used as many as we could for storing different thi

Hello blog family! We are truly here! We have been very buisy getting things in order here at our new home. We set up a new internet system, this does not change our address or anything just how we operate from here. It has been quite a month. We have had a visit from Romanian friends that was just wonderful. We can not wait until they come again. They shared their love for chidlren with those we have here and encouraged us so much with their love for all of us and kenya. Thom Seagren & Dean Miller arrived on the 19th of Sept. and left on the 24th. They were able to check out the new house and work on long term planning. We saw the vision we all have for the orphaned children here in kenya come to life on this property and expand to future plans for the Jui Kali propery, it was a exciting time. Besides the fact that we just enjoyed haveing their company around our home. They got to meet and know the children we now have and to even visit chidlren we are looking at bringing to this
