Pictures...

Sorry guys, not too many pictures to share.....I think Kathryn's memory card for her camera must be corrupted - some of her pictures were not usable. My camera works fine...if only I remember to bring it with me AND if I did remember to bring it with me that I would actually REMEMBER to use it...LOL! Anyway, here's a few pics to share This is Pas Peter Khoo - he looks like a Westerner but he is all Malaysian! I have known him since we were 13 years old and that was a LOOOOOOONG time ago :-) His church is one of our supporting churches since 2006. Both he and his wife are great encouragement and blessing to us. We always enjoy being with them.
Tony giving the altar call - he looks kinda blurr in the picture but it really is him., I promise! We continue to be encourage by the responses of the people at every service we had preached in. About half his church came for the altar. We trust God to continue His work in the lives of His people.
We have the real Starbucks in Malaysia but this is the local version! A little kiosk by the road side and it cost a fraction of what it would have cost us to have coffee at the "real" Starbucks. But they have the good coffee and tea!

I thought I post this cute picture of Vickie and Anna. Vickie is known as "cookie monster" in our family because she is a MAJOR cookie eater. Her first word was not "mama" or "papa" but "cookie" - we have video to prove it! She was very excited when she found this t-shirt at a flea market....Anna loves her shirt too!
This weekend we will be travelling to Ipoh for the Missions Sunday for two churches - both has been supporting our ministry. We are praying the Lord will challenge the hearts of the people for missions. Please pray for us. We have 3 services altogether. Tony wll preach on the Saturday special service and he and I will preach in a different church each on Sunday, and the girls will be giving an instrumental special of "Shine Jesus Shine" - please pray for all of us! I promise I will try to do better with pictures this time!
After our time of ministry, we will be heading to Penang - a wonderful resort island - a vacation place like Mombasa/Florida - depending on your frame of reference :-) for our much looked forward to vacation! We have not had a vacation the last two years! I cannot tell you how excited we all are! A friend managed to arrange for our rooms and yesterday a wonderful family even gave us a love offering for our gas and "spending" money - God is SO SO GOOD!!!!!!
This afternoon Tony will be preaching at a Full Gospel Businessman chapter in Damansara Jaya, but he will drop us off at a nearby mall to meet with a friend....again, I will try to do better with pics!

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...
