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

A Miracle Month!

Image
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...

God Moving

Dear Blog family, Praise God He is working all the time, He is not a man that he should lie and He never sleeps! God is moving miraculously in Kenya! We have seen God moving for us and for this country in general in the last few weeks, our prayers are being answered! But this is not a time to quit pressing the heavens for what we need to accomplish for His will. The enemy has designed some things for this country also and he is at foot, he has made the next generation his target and he will not give them up with out a fight! Our authority is cemented in the courts of Heaven because of who our Savior is and what He was willing to give for us, now we must stand on this truth no matter what, to change the tide of events the enemy has enacted here in Kenya! Our God reigns, halleluiah!! There have been many praying for rain because we did not get the amount that was expected during the long rainy season because of this water shortages are expected, we have seen quite a bit of rain...

Hi everyone, I will try to make this bit shorter, I get to going on and on! We are all doing well! Christmas is just about apon us and the sun is still shinning the flowers are still bloming and I guess we live in paradise. We thank our family and friends who have sent us pictures of the snow back home the children and I are very grateful, we so love the snow. Horace is so very grateful for where we are he has always been able to do with out the snow. This week has been another eventful week we have had all sorts of trips and things to see and experience. We were taken by some neighbors to a view spot up in the mountains. They were both world class runners before they were married. They took us to St. Particts High School, in the town of Iten. This is a very successful and famous school where they develope world the fastes people in the world, literally! If you go out a mile or so from here you come to a view point where a man from Belguim built a resturant and cabins. It is a very b...
