Girls Dormitory Operating Project is Completed

The American and African teams working for the Tumaini Youth Center in Kitale, Africa want to express their heartfelt gratitude for all the support provided in the funding of the girl’s dormitory project. Without your help this project would still be a work in progress. The Colorado Mission Committee, the Board of Directors, and Staff working at the center are truly appreciative of the prayers and financial support given during the construction and furnishing of this venture.

The girls living at the center are most thankful and appreciative for this endeavor. This new building is a vast improvement from the old rooms the girls occupied in the past. This new living space allows the older girls to have their own private room and the young girls can share a room.

Even more important we now have sufficient space for additional girls to come to the center. Since the completion of the dorm we have already added four more girls to our roster. In addition to the sleeping quarters in the dorm, we also have added a living room for the young ladies to use as well as a private living quarters for the girls’ matron.

We give the Lord the glory for his guidance in this labor of love and we know without His direction it would not have come to fruition.

We are truly grateful for everyone who was involved in this enterprise. Please ask your friends to check us out on our site (aictyc.org) and have a look at our building.

We will be begin another income-generating, project soon so please keep a lookout for more details explaining this venture.

Stay well in Christ,

Mike Heid

Happy Easter Weekend from the kids at Tumaini Youth Center

Christians in Kenya have a four-day long celebration beginning on Good Friday and ending on Easter Monday. Traditionally, Christians around the world celebrate the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ during Easter week. In Kenya services are often followed by a traditional Easter feast of chicken or goat, with fruits, vegetables and sweet treats. Many Communities have organized Parades on Easter Monday which is a National Holiday in Kenya.

 Recently, I sent this snow photo to our staff at Tumaini Youth Center. We had a huge winter in Colorado, and I thought it would be interesting for them to see it firsthand. Their response is March’s Blog.

Dear Toni,

Greetings in Jesus name. Thank you so much for your email and pictures of snow. We here in Kenya and hear of snow but we have never seen it physically. Pastor Isaac has told it about it but there is nothing we can compare to what we saw in those pictures. Thank you all for your prayers and continued support for the children and the orphanage daily welfare. We will send you more pictures soon.

Pray for all the children as they prepare to return to school this week. The long rains have resumed again and that is a good sign because of food security for our home. Send our love, gratitude, and regards to all our supporters.

Tecla is doing good, she is now back to her normal duties at the center. The girls are happy to be able to enter the new dormitory with her.

Yours in Christ’s service,

Eliud for Tumaini Youth Center
