DONE DEAL!!!

Finally, GOOD NEWS!! This evening at about 5 pm, the President and the Opposition signed a deal on the governance of the country. This particular issue is the cause of the deadlock in the mediation talks the last two weeks. The new deal includes the creation of the post of the Executive Prime Minister and two deputies and a 50/50 cabinet. We are all so relieved. Of course, the challenge is the implementation of the agreement. In the speeches that were given, all the speakers emphasied that the journey has just begun.

Now, this new Goverment, can at least concentrate their efforts in the re-building of Kenya. Thank you all for praying with us and for us!

This new development is the lift I needed. I am not sure if you "heard" my weariness in my previous post....I was a little overwhelmed.

However, we will continue to pray that the work of reconciliation and restoration will begin in this broken nation.

GOD BLESS!

The middle school was raising funds for some social projects and he challenged them if they raised a certain amount he would shaved off his beard and if they raised even more money, he would shave his hair as well! Brave man and they did raised the funds!! Too bad I didn't get the 'after' picture! Vickie is on the far left, as a stage hand during one of their drama production. She ...

A clean bill of Health!

We have been busy with different appointments.....the girls got their vaccination, Tony and I had a general checkup - cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure and several other health issues checked. We are basically healthy. Tony needs to have a minor surgical procedure (on his back) which we still have to work on - finding the surgeon,etc. We also went to the dentist today and the girls and I have NO cavities!!!!! The dentist did some cleaning for us but Tony did have to have a filling done. All in all, the Phangs are in pretty good health - Praise the Lord!! We are also so grateful to our doctor and dentist for giving us their services so lovingly and generously- we are so bless!

Getting Ready for yet another trip!

Before I forget, I wanted the friends who have left comments on this blog to know that I read your comments as they are automatically sent to my email address. I tried replying to the address in the emails but it doens't get to you - it just redirects me to this blog again. Anyways, I want you to know that I appreciate the comments- tells me someone is reading what I am writing - I wonder sometimes!! Ok, two evenings ago I had another invite to join an evangelist to Goma, also in DRC. They are doing a crusade there- I cannot tell you how much I want to join them but I can't - not this time anyways. We are in the midst of preparing to return to Malaysia for two months to reconnect with churches and friends who supports our work here and also to give our report. We are also trusting God to connect with more people and churches who are interested in our work here. We need to raise so much more to empower and release more laborers to a ripen harvest in AFrica. I am so overwhelm wit...
