Greeting

Karibuni! The Lord is good! My name is Brandon and the Lord has done mighty things in my life. I am a missionary in Moshi, Tanzania and God is doing good things for us here at Treasures of Africa Children's Home. This website was created to share that story with friends, family and supporters in the states. I also from time to time will share some thoughts on other stuff as well. Each of the entries are a story of what the Lord is up to and to Him be all glory. Please feel free to send comments and questions to me at bmstiver@gmail.com. Thanks for visiting the site and I hope the Lord blesses you as you poke around.

Peace and Grace,
Brandon Stiver

Treasure - Justice

As promised, I am doing reprisals of all my Treasure profiles to make them as their own separate post. Here's the first one that I wrote on Jubee back on March 20th.

Justice is such a tremendous blessing to us. He will turn three this week and its crazy to think of him being three years old. Juju or Juju Bee or Jubie or my recently coined Jubidus is a super funny kid. Out of all the kids in the preschool, I’d say he’s got his heads in the clouds the most. I constantly have to get his attention in class. It essentially goes like this… I’m reading a story to them and say “Hey Justice, did you see the bird in the picture?” He looks at me and says “yellow.” And I’m like “no, Jubie, not yellow.” Everything is yellow to him, although today while the other children were telling me the colors of their spoons, he looked up at me and said, “Baba, triangle” Sure enough he was holding a yellow spoon. He cracks me up. He is very sweet and very loving. He is our shortest kid, although he is the oldest of all our five year olds. He is one of our three HIV+ kids (please lift him up in prayer). His favorite song is Old McDonald, which he pronounces “happy tano” and his favorite thing is high fives, but instead of saying “gimme five” he says “ee five.“ He is super cute and very photogenic. A few days ago, I was putting his shirt on him and I told him “Juju una kichwa kama tikiti” and got a good laugh out of the caregiver (go translate it). One of my favorite things about Justice is he loves to sing and dance. I love watching and listening to the kids worship and he loves to lead songs and just sing and dance. He absolutely has my heart and anyone that spends about two seconds with him will tell you the same.
