In 2004, The Beech Foundation (www.thebeechfoundation.org) followed a call to organize a mission trip to Kenya and partner with other organizations and churches working there. What started as a short-term mission has become an eternal commitment with widespread participation. Partners and volunteers from five different states, various denominations, and many different non-profit ministry organizations have worked with six churches in Nakuru, Kenya to establish a joint ministry: the Tumaini Mission Center and Bethany Children’s Home.
The reality is that HIV/AIDS and other tragedies have left three million children orphaned in Kenya. With collaboration between The Beech Foundation and the PCEA Nakuru West network of local churches, land was purchased in 2006, and the first wing of the children's home was opened in 2007. Ultimately, 400 children will be nurtured, along with a Primary School, Secondary School, Clinic, Chapel, and much more. These efforts are part of a blessed bridge building effort that will continue for years to come.
