2014 so far continued !

 

March and April 2014 were very busy and full of God's Good works


Our 17 year old daughter Troy is always making indigenous friends. 




Sarah Ellen had her 6th Birthday on March 3rd, each year celebration is so incredible to us because it gives us another chance to appreciation what God has done in each of our children's lives.


We celebrated Boaz's 4th Birthday in March also!  Praise God for Boaz and all his energy!

 
 
Also in March Mom Phyllis was informed she would have to go for a tumor removal from her left eye.  All the Doctors and Surgeons were sure the tumor that had been beside Mom Phyllis' eye for several years had manifested into something serious, they suspected the big " C " and because it was so close to her eye they were predicting some pretty scary after effects of it being removed but God is bigger than any scary news so everyone prayed!  Even though Mom Phyllis now has a scar she also has a great testimony of God's greatness and His wonderful answers to our prayers!  This is her new report even from the Drs. " no cancer, no eye lid deformation and difficulty, no tear duct misfunction and additional surgery, thank you Jesus, you are our Hero!

 
 
At the beginning of April Troy and Dannon were part of a wonderful production with their friends from the Co op they attend on Tuesdays.  Everyone involved did an amazing job! There is so much talent in this group of Godly young people and their instructors.  Thank you everyone!

 

Also in April we were visited by some great friends from the US.  Barry, Rochelle and Madi Holben.  We had so much fun and God filled us all with His amazing joy!

We also went for a trip to one of our favorite places close to Eldoret, Kerio View!  The whole area looks down on the famous Rift Valley!


The Elephant!


WE ate at the lodge, great European food!!

 
 During the Holben's stay we had a visit from the ISAC group.  This group hosts international students from all over the world at Moi University.  We have been a host family for several students from China, Brazil, Slovakia, Germany, and made friends with many more.  This is a fantastic program ran by these amazing Kenyan students.  It is such a honor and pleasure to have them come and visit us. What a great and fun day we all had!

As I said before it was a busy time and we are not done yet!  We had even more visitors and amazing times, to be continued .........................

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
