Urgent Prayer Requestf : Zimbabwe

We've been getting updates from a student from Zim. Here is an excerpt of his emails.

9th September :

Just to remind you to keep me and my family in your prayers. Zimbawe is becoming tough to live in each day

many basic goods are becoming hard to come across and prices are changing daily.

Here in Zimababwe the maximum withdrawal from the bank that is allowed daily is Zim $500 which is now equal to less than 50 us cents.

Just pray that God will come through for this nation we are facing serious stavation if nothing happens soon.

12 September :

What a relief it was for us

When we woke up today it was a joy to hear that the talks had come to an agreement as we wait for Monday we are hopeful that it is something that will help our beloved people

Imagine the daily withdrawal limit from the was now an equivalent of four us cents. Waht i got as a salary last month is today's price of 300g brisket grade beef

Life has become so hard for us here in Zim but we keep trusting God

It is against this background that we are saying something is better than nothing we hope the leaders are now having the people at heart. We await to hear the nature of the agreement and its impact on our economy if they had not taken off twelve zeros the us dollar will be worth 2 000 000 000 0000 000 yesterday

Continue to pray for us

Please pray Zimbabwe and God's people in that nation.

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...

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...

Glad Tidings Klang

We drove to Klang, about 40 minutes from Kuala Lumpur to Glad Tidings, one of our supporting churches for their Youth Concurent Service. They have over 100 young and energetic people worshipping the Lord - we were so excited to be invited to minister to such a dynamic group of young people. The very energetic worship team. They did an excellent job in the worship service. Tony preached on birthing God's divine destiny and the congregation responded to the Word. Many came for the altar to be prayed for and some stayed after the service to talk to us. Tony and his mom at a restaurant. Our very cute niece, Anna, with RM 1.00! She was fussing in a car ride so we gave her RM1 (or about 0.30 cents in USD) to pacify her...judging from her expression, I don't think it worked :-) The girls with the Silver Surfer, a character from a sci-fic movie at a mall. This is the KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken fast food restaurant) that Tony worked in when he was a teenager!!! He showed the girls t...
