The Vision that Carries

 

     Over 20 years ago, Ray and Melody Schumacher were given a vision of God’s deep desire to bless the people of Tanzania. Although there have been challenges, including Ray’s passing in 2023, this vision has not come to an end. Because of your help and generosity, this original vision carries Sonshine Ministries forward today.   

     Through the orphanage and ministry center in King’ori, young people are being raised up and equipped to become the loving, world changing leaders of tomorrow. Your faithful support and prayers are yielding beautiful fruit. It is exciting to think about where this vision will carry us next with your close partnership. We hope the stories below bless you 


Helping with Hope

 

Recently, we were able to help cover the school expenses for some children outside of the Sonshine Children's Home to help continue their dream of a good education. Thank you so much for your support of the ministry. Please know that you are making a difference. (Genesis 12:2-3: And I will bless you... so that you will be a blessing.)

Shining Service

     

Meet Rafael Monna. Rafael joined Sonshine in 2015 to serve as a laborer in the garden. Not having a home or means or even the knowledge to write his own name, he came with a willingness to serve and grow. And grow he has into a successful young man sowing and reaping the beautiful benefits of the kingdom. The Sonshine family is very proud of Rafael. We are inspired by his work ethic and humility, And, the children and staff adore him. 

 

True Sustainability

     From the beginning, we have been inspired to develop a strong, self-sustaining discipline within the ministry. One of our goals is to help develop the skills and abilities of young people in key areas of self-sufficiency so that they can positively impact their communities.
