Long Post!

Sorry for going MIA for a week! I think it's the longest gap I had since I started blogging. And I can't even use the excuse that the power went out on me or that the internet is not working :-) Our days have been blessed full with all kinds of activities and not having an office of my own where all my cables are easily accesible is probably the most reasonable excuse for my lack of posting! Anyway, I will try to make up for it with this extra long post! These are pictures from my ministry time at the Bible College of Malaysia chapel service. Tony and I graduated from this college way back then (don't ask me when...) It was good to be back and be able to share our missionary vision with the students. My interpreter is a Chinese student from mainland China! It was really neat to hear my sermon translated into mandarin.


Tony preaching at GT, Klang during their Sunday Service. Once again, the Lord moved powerfully drawing people to His presence during the altar call. We prayed for the people. Kathryn took the pictures while Vickie went to the Youth Service. After the service, the Pastor and his leaders took us out for lunch at a Chinese restaurant....YUM! Talking about food.....

can you taste these wonderful donuts!!! There is a new donut chain here call Big Apple Donuts and they have all these varieties. The shop usually have a long, long line of customers. We managed to get these donuts at a not so busy time. They were SO SO good! We took the girls to KLCC (Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre), also more famously known as the Petronas Twin Towers. There is a Science center in the mall. Tony took the girls to the science center while yours truly......(guess what....) shop...and shop and shop!
Vickie putting her hand inside a "hurricane" thingy to feel the temperature of a hurricane.
Here, Vickie lighted up a light tube She's electricfying!
with a "friendly" dinosaur who moves....
The girls went into a mock up oil refinery and saw how the worker/miners live. This is the bunks. The girls were freaked out by the mannequin on the top bunk! They thought it was a real person.
with Annabelle, their cute cousin. We are so glad to be able to spend time with family.

The girls went for their shots. Vickie had to have 3 separate shots and Kathryn, two. We are so glad to get that over with and they didn't get a fever with their shots either. Praise the Lord!

This was in the centre of the mall where there was an exhibition on the Olympics in Beijing. We continue to be amazed how busy the malls are in Kuala Lumpur. We thought we are the only ones on vacation!! Despite the increased gas and food prices, the malls and restaurant seemed to be continually packed with people!
Tomorrow Tony and I will be at the doctors to sort out a few medical issues, we planned to get our passports renew this week. Next week,we are getting ready for a trip up north to Ipoh for Missions Sunday for two churches. I will post our ministry schedule so you can pray for us!

Turning 60 : Reflections on a New Season

  Turning 60: Reflections on a New Season I was having lunch with a friend yesterday and found myself talking about my 60th birthday. I’m not usually one to make a big deal about birthdays—but as I approached this milestone, I found myself reflecting a little more deeply. Sixty feels… different. Special, even. One birthday message on Facebook welcomed me to the “Senior Club.” Apparently, turning 60 bumps you into a whole new age bracket. What does that mean? Well, for starters, higher insurance premiums—got that notice earlier this year! But beyond the paperwork, it feels like a shift. This is the beginning of a new season. Some call it the “final” season of life—but I’ve decided to see it as a privileged one. Because now, at 60, I’m the youngest in this new demographic! There are perks too—senior discounts at movie theaters, restaurants, parks, museums. Priority seating on trains and planes. It took me six decades to earn these privileges, and I’ll gladly accept them! Looking...

The Secrets of a Pastor's Marriage

Recently I posted a picture of myself and a beautiful bouquet of flowers,,,,It was one of those special moments in our marriage. I had been feeling pressured with an unending to do list and preparing for a missions trip. I was sharing with Tony how stressed I was before leaving to have a quick dinner with Vickie. When I returned home, Tony suprised me with this beautiful bouquet. He just wanted to bless and encourage me.  Yes, he's sweet and thoughtful and let me just put it out there once and for all, HE IS ALL MINE :) I was surprised by the number of people who liked the post. I suppose many are "curious" what a pastor's marriage look like...is it perfect? Is it easier because both of us are pastors? I thought I share a few pictures and thoughts on the subject.   Firstly, our marriage is not perfect - it's just like yours - there are always up and downs, the good and the bad, the happy and the sad, the sweet and sour! In many ways, a ministers...

Vickie in Elsamere and Crescent Island (CFS)

While we face many challenges here in the missions field, we also reap many blessings. One of the biggest blessing to us is the great school that the girls attend : Rosslyn Academy. It started many years ago as a missionary school to cater for the needs of the missionaries' kids. The school has since grown and it is now one of the best schools here in Nairobi. We are very grateful for the quality education that our girls are getting. One of the highlight of the school year is CFS (Cultural Field Studies). The kids get to camp out someplace in the country to learn more about the country they live in. This year, the 7th graders went to Elsamere Park and Crescent Island. You can tell from the photos that they had a great time! They visited a local school and played soccer with the kids. Sports is such great way for kids to get together! These are dung critters..having a feast, I suppose....eewwwww... Miss Gac, she's a great teacher and Vickie loves her! She taught Kathryn...
