Once apon a " Big Nose Cesar " Treasure Hunt!


 
 
Once apon a time Tumaini had the 6 week pleasure of an Intern named Cesar!  He is from Brazil and we have been so blessed by his willingness and courage to serve!  He came to Kenya to help with computers and instead he was placed at Tumain where there are not so many computers but very many livley children!  This is his story at Tumaini and our appreciaton! 
 
 
 
This is Cesar.
 
 
 
Cesar learnt quickly how much the children here at Tumaini love to play games.  He taught them Checkers, Snakes and Ladders, Princess Bingo and even played some Candy Land with them.
 
 
 
 





 
 
We have had a lot of rain in the later part of April and most of the way through May, so many of the games were indoor games but then the Sun came out and they had the opportunity to play outdoors as well.
 
 
 
 
I did not get a picture of Cesar in these but here are Reuben, Joel & Ruth getting it to the other end of the field.
 
 
 
and Debby making her move!
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
Look at these smiles!
 
 
 
 
 
 


 
One day Cesar decided he would teach all the children how to make paper baloons like the children do in Brazil.


 
 
He showed us how to hang them in our sitting room all together to Celebrate what a great country Kenya is!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
One day way to soon Cesar said " well it has been fun but it is time for me to go!"  We decided this was a good time to celebrate all the good times we had together so we had cookies and we all layed hands on Cesar and prayed!
 




 
 
Cesar is gone but he left us one last game!  We went looking for the " Big Nose Cesar Treasure" it was so much fun!  Thank you Cesar and Thank you Father God for Blessing us with such a loving, courageous friend as Cesar from Brazil!
 
  We started our treasure hunt in the sitting room with a small white box and Cesar's stool......
 
 
....... Dad helped us put the treasure map together and we searched through the house and yard following the clues until we ended with a note congradulating us on our finding the treasure .......
 
 




 
 
 
.....it was with Mom all the time!
 
 
 



 
 
We really enjoyed the game and the treasure was yummy!  
 
 
 
 
We each got a personal note from Cesar that encouraged us to continue being who God had made us to be.  We will not forget you Cesar, you are the real treasure!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
THE END
 
 
Tumaini has had the blessing and pleasure to receive International Interns through a program at Moi University here in Eldoret.  These Interns come at their own expense and help at anything we need them to do at no charge to Tumaini.  What a blessing to have an extra pair of hands and to be able to learn so much about the world right in our home. So far we have had 2 from Germany, 1 from China and 1 from Brazil.  We Praise God for such an opportunity to teach the children at Tumaini so much and to reach out and share our hearts for Jesus with the world.  Thank you again everyone reading this blog who help support and make this ministry possible!  In God's Great Love

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
