Difficult time

We are still processing the case of the little girl. My heart continues to be heavy over the situation, I am doing what I can to help. Please pray for all of us who are involved.

Last Sunday was a very special day for us. The church we founded, ROG, officially dedicated the new sanctuary. The KAG General Superintendent (GS) was with us. He preached and then officiated the dedication. After the service, we went out for lunch with him together with the Pastor and the church board. He continues to encourage us to work hard for the Lord. It was such a time of encouragement for us all. The GS is such a visionary leader and his leadership has greatly inspired and impacted our lives and even shape some of our leadership style and principles. One of the many things we learn from him is to invest in people, not buildings. Both personally and also the church he is pastoring has planted over 38 churches and supported many Bible school students. He also shared with us that the KAG has been feeding over 75000 people the last six months after the post election violence. These are KAG members. Right now, the KAG (of which we are part of) is feeding 690 pastors and their families. We now have over 3,000 churches. We feel so bless to be part of such a dynamic organisation.

I will try to share some photos over the next few days as the girls took their cameras with them (with my pics!). They away at sleepovers tonight. Tony and I are looking forward to a quiet evening together....

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...
