Lewiston - Clarkston Valley Home!

Hello Blog family, we are in the US! We left Eldoret in the late afternoon on the 21st of July, saying a difficult "see you soon" to our sweet gifts from Heaven and the wonderfully brave young couple ( Dustin & Angela Cook from Clarkston Wa )
We arrived in Portland OR at about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday the 22ND of July,picked up our rental car and headed to the motel for a good night sleep. 22 hrs in flights is brutal, after stopping at Burger king for an American burger!!! yum, of course!

The next morning we got up early to start the road trip part of our adventure.
We love to drive in the US, smooth highways are not available in Kenya!! As soon as we were on the road we saw Horace's face light up like a spot light had just hit him. We drove several hundred miles in the next 2 days stopping and visiting family and friends on our way! If you have never drove through the Pacific North West you have never lived, it is so beautiful, green and lush!!!

By Friday we had drove through the upper coastal part of Oregon and Washington state and then over and down to the bottom cornor of Washington where it meets Idaho along the snake river. Lewiston & Clarkston Valley is where we call home here in the US.

It was incredible to look down off the Palouse into the valley after being gone for the 16months we have just spent in Eldoret Kenya. God is so good all the time, which I know you have heard form me before but He is and never more obvious than when he gives you your hearts desire over and over again.


We so love what we do in Kenya with God's children there, it is the fulfillment of a hearts desire God placed in me long ago but between then and now God has also filled our hearts with our own children and many experiences and people that we love so much. He has not forgotten that our hearts cry out to see them and love on them too, Thank you Father you are a Great, Great loving Father!!!!!


I will continue to let you know how our adventure is going!! We still have Jake's family to see, Family Pictures to take,wow, we are getting to be a big Family, Brittney & Justin's Wedding and much more!


Please pray for our on going safety here and for the safety and well being of our babies and the wonderful young couple Dustin & Angela Cook taking our place in Eldoret Kenya! We Pray for all of God's constant blessings flowing your way! Loving with the Love God gives us, Horace & Phyllis Leister on an adventure in the US

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
