The last few weeks!

 
Hi everyone, we thought we would send you a smile today with our update on things happening here at Tumaini , God is so good!

Our weather has been oddly cool and rainy which is great for the greenery, vegies and fruit but not so good for playing outside and puppy whelping.
 



With all the rain you would think water would be no problem but not the case here!  We have had a large growth of residents here in the Eldoret area, water has become a big problem, not enough city water to go around. Because of low water our 50 year old house has had some major problems.  Horace has changed out our major attic tank and numerous plumbing situations through out the house.  Needless to say we have been living a full African life with bucket baths and pritty much bucket everything!  Praise God we have been able to catch the rain water in our 2500 liter outdoor storage tank to fill the buckets!


 
 
Here are our Mana & Nala's new family of puppies!   Mom Nala had a pritty difficult time keeping them all warm and fed to begin with and we lost five out of 11 born.  The surviving 6 seem to be doing very well, thank you Jesus!
 
This Anna she is another new blessing from God for us at Tumaini.  Anna heard about our home from a local evangelistic ministry she was working with and decided she would like to come and give us a hand.  Anna is from Germany and will be helping us until February, thank you Jesus for answering all our prayers.
 
 
School is just about to close here at Tumain and everyone is very excited for the Holiday Break!  Our Shinning Light School will take on a whole new look in January 2014 because we will no longer be just a pre-school but a primary as well.  Children grow so fast!
 
We have had the great pleasure of friends coming to visit and pray with us for the future here at Tumaini.  In October Ray & Geri Tucker from Faith Ministries Int. whom we first visited Kenya with.  Faith Ministries operates a Pastoral Training School here for all of East Africa.  We are so blessed by their love and mentorship. 
 
 
In November we were greatly encouraged by a visited from more friends, Tumaini Home board members Chris and Kathy Swift. They also prayed and gave us the word of the Lord over the future of Tumaini Children's Home.  We have known and worked with Kathy for several years here in Kenya.  We were so blessed to meet Chris recently following their wedding in September.  The Swifts will be living in Europe where they will be working in a Supervisory position with their church organization but still working with us here in Kenya.
 
 
 
Cookies time with Teacher Rose!
 
Thank you everyone for your continuing love and support for this Ministry!  We are humbled and overwhelmed by God's great love given out from His people!  We hope you enjoy staying up to date with all going on here.  Do not forget sponsorships they are still needed!  Please visit our website www.tchkenya.com to let us hear from you and see individual pictures of the children!  In God's big big love!  Horace, Phyllis, Troy, Dannon and all here at Tumaini Children's Home!

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
