Karen and Ieru @ “Treasures of the Nations”

We have just completed our 3 month “Principles of Redeeming Cultures School” here in Kona where we had 17 students from 12 different nations attend. We also ran an event called the “Treasures of the Nations ” and there every culture represented in our school was able to showcase and champion the treasures within their nations.

Now we are preparing to go to NZ for 10 days to attend a Meeting with Island Breeze Leaders from NZ , Australia and South Pacific.

The YWAM 50th Anniversary here in Kona is from Nov 29th to Dec 4th and we will get to see alot of our friends from around the world coming in to celebrate with us all.

In December we are so excited about going to Australia for 3 weeks to be with our kids and friends and just enjoy a rest and refreshment.

January 2011 we co lead another “Discipleship Training School” here in Kona and already it looks like this could be another big school with alot of younger students hungry to come and grow as a disciple and then disciple other nations.

What a wonderful Surprise from the Lord….. We were all together as a family for the Christmas celebration in Brisbane, Australia for 2009.

This is how it unfolded:

In November Ieru had just flown to Tasmania, Australia for the very sad news of his nephew drowning, and to attend to the funeral and just be with the family there.

In December Matthew had broken his jaw in Cardiff, Wales and we thought about him coming to Hawaii for rest.

But then our kids had a wonderful idea that Karen flys to Australia and we all meet up for Christmas in Australia.

We had a very good time with our kids and just being together and being around each other was such a buzz for us all! We loved being hosted by Dave and Matt in their homes, and Rachel was also able to take a few weekends from her DTS to be with us.

I love it the way the Lord knows our hearts desires and He holds them very dear to His heart especially when it comes to Family.

We look forward to 2010 and all the the Lord has planned for us all.

Right now Rachel is attending the YWAM 50th Jubilee Celebration in Canberra and then leaves for her DTS Outreach for Mexico for 2 months.

Matthew is in full training with the Brumbies preparing for this years Super 14 season.

David is very much on the end of his Studies for his Degree in Civil Engineering and will graduate this year.

Ieru and Karen are Co Leading another “All Nations All Generations DTS” in Kona, Hawaii for the next 12 weeks.

We will keep you updated on the comings and goings of the Toomua’s.

Blessings to you all,

Ieru and Karen, David, Matthew, Rachel
