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 .

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...
ONE YEAR LATER!!! Yes, it's one year later since our return to Malaysia and Max made it and is still with us :-) I cannot believe that it was a year ago since I posted my last entry, and I am finding it even more amazing that we have actually been "home" for a little over a year! I can say that life in Malaysia has been full of suprises and is fast and furious. I was inspired to blog again when I was going through our digital photos and doing some digital decluttering. I was amazed by how much has happened in just a year. So, over the next few days, I am hoping to get you all caught up withn all that has happened the last 12 months and I will try to post as many pictures as I can.....I am not very patient waiting for pictures to upload :-) Max - survived the 24 hour journey and seems to have adapted pretty good to Malaysian life. We are so glad we brought him with us! Reunited with their youngest cousins ... Annabelle and Isaac. I think they will featured q...

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...
