April Already!



This month begins with the 1st birthday of our precious Ruth! She is such a happy baby and so much enjoyed her day!!




We did not have to coax Ruth at all to enjoy her Birthday treat! She gummed it right down!



Each of the children have a plate with their name on it like this one! Aren't they beautiful!! The were designed and painted by 2 sisters who attend the Seagren's church in Grand Junction, CO. We use them for Birthday celebrations, they are perfect!




Thank you Shellie for the happy gift of flowers and bunny ears! Troy & Dannon want to use them as props for a skit they are doing with the children! We will let you know how it all turns out!



Joyce




Troy & Reuben bunnies!




Two of our little Easter Flowers!




We had an opportunity to take some of the children to a small center set up with rural tribal home & animals, it was a great outing for all of us!




The children were so interested in the bunnies that they did not even notice this beautiful peacock, but I did!




The ostrich was so large but Gabe he just walked up to it and said " how you?" I grabbed him back just as he was going to put his little hand through the fence!




They were all so good! They were so amazed to see what they saw! The building in the back ground was where we got to see Kenyan snakes! We saw 2 black mambas, just like the ones that were killed here at Tumaini, they would not let us take any pictures, bummer!



Everyone had a great time!



We are getting there, the finish line is in sight!



Thank God for the years Horace spent at Guardian Heating in Lewiston, ID!




This is the side porch where eventually we will connect this house with the existing house to make one big one!!!



The ceilings was finished today! I hope to share pictures of the tile going in soon!




Praise be to God! Our work continues and is so blessed! We know that this is because of all those of you who have joined with us in your prayers to this great work here in Eldoret Kenya!! I know that I have said this many, many times but I will never say it enough!! Thank you everyone who join us here with all your support and prayers!! We love you all and lift you up from here! Horace, Phyllis, Troy & Dannon and everyone here at Tumaini Children's Center

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
