Brighton a special miracle!


Our Brighton 2010 at 2 years, when we 1st received him from the hospital! 



Brighton was left with symptoms of CP (cerebral palsy) after having a sever case of meningitis as a 1 year old.  He was abandoned by his mother.  When we received him the prognosis was very poor, he had been as we saw him for about 1 year.  Hands in fists, legs drawn up tight, neck bent exc...no speech.  Unable to sit or move around except to roll over when helped.


God is so good!  Praise Him, Praise Him!  This is our Brighton now almost 4.  He is not only walking here, he is dancing with some worship music he likes.  Brighton is still working on the speech but he can say several different words and a couple of phrases like " want some more!"




Brighton was never suppose to sit or eat by himself, or crawl or walk but he has done all these things and more because of the love of God pured out to him through our wonderful Kenyan family!  Brighton has a great therapist who has been working with him for about a year now, that has really helped but we all believe ( even the therapist ) that his greatest therapy has come from his siblings and their love and acceptance of him!  Brighton is a miracle, maybe not a instant one like we picture them being but a miracle of God's enduring love!   We serve an amazing God and are so humbled by the power of His love!  Thank you Jesus for our Brighton!

Brighton has therapy once a week that costs 1000sh ( $12.00 ) this sounds very inexpensive but it adds up.  Brighton could use a sponsor or several!  A complete child sponsorship is $150 per month to provide for the child's average daily need and school. This amount could be taken on by one person or split between several.  Brighton has special needs so he also needs a sponsor for his therapy an extra $48 per month.  We plan to put Brighton into pre-school when the new year starts in Jan.  We expect great things, we know our God is a big God!


We are so appreciative for everyone who has shown interest in sponsoring our children here at Tumain.  Please if you have contacted us about Sponsoring and have not followed through setting up an account through our website www.tchkenya.com or are having difficulty in any way please contact us on the website or at hpleister@gmail.com.  We are excited to have you as part of our family! 

May God's mighty Blessings abound towards you today!  Love Horace & Phyllis

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
