New Covenant Assembly

Thanks for praying for our service. We had a great service. Kathryn took some pics of our service but I have not loaded those pics yet. Vickie also took some pics (for her blog - of course!) and I am actually loading pics from her file which she uploaded. She is more conscientious about her blog than I am! I must say I enjoy blogging a lot more in Malaysia because the internet speed is so much better here - it takes me a fraction of the time to blog here than in Kenya.....oh well.... This is the children church at New Covenant Assembly. I will post pictures of our service tomorrow.


Vickie joined the Children Church and took those pictures. Kathryn was with us in the main service to take pictures and also to help Grandma. It was the first time for Tony's mom to be in church and Kathryn sat with her in the back - the music was too loud for her in the front row :-) We had a wonderful service with Pas Peter. Tony's mom told us after the service that she wants to go to all our other services as well. PTL!!! Pas Peter and his wife, Shirlyn, took us out for lunch after that - curry fish, steam fish, barbeque chicken, "belachan" (chilly with shrimp paste - the best flavoring ever!) vegetables, etc. It was very good! After the meal, we went for "teh tarik" - or for my non-Malaysian friends - coffee and tea. I have picture which I may post tomorrow - it's the Malaysian version of Starbucks!
My pretty girls......
Now you know what missionaries do during furlough.....figuring out the rubic cube - this is serious work, people!!
MEGA MAC, apparently in honor EURO football games- FOUR, yup, that's not a typo - FOUR hamburger patties in the big MAC! Tony ate it in honor of all our missionary friends in Kenya :-)
Bonding with Annabelle. She's in love with her Uncle Tony....she really does - she runs to him all the time and wants to be pick up by him.
The girls were so good in eating all the Malaysian food with us which they mildly enjoy - so we rewarded them with a meal at an Italian restaurant. Read more about it in Vickie's blog at here .

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...
