Vehicle and Ladies Fellowship

We have recently been very burdened concerning a vehicle for the orphanage. The truck that Lucy is using has served the home well....but is now almost ready to give up its ghost! The cost for the major repairs for this vehicle could actually help us get another one, although it would be a used car. We are trusting the Lord to bring the "new" vehicle soon

The truck is constantly overheating, leaking oil, breaking down, etc....

Last night, as in every Tuesday night, the ladies who live in the girls dorm meet for a time of fellowship and prayer. I was the scheduled speaker for last evening; however, there was a visiting team from Cananda, and the ladies helped us with that meeting instead. It was a fun time of games, devotion and fellowship. I am so glad the "girls" get a break from their studies and were able to just hang out for a bit...
This is Tumaini (meaning "hope" in kiswahili). Tumaini is from Tanzania, a second year student and is the Dorm Monitor.
Clemence from Rwanda, also a pastor's kid.

Worship and prayer in the girls' lounge

One of the games the team prepared was to show the girls a tray of assorted items and have them memorised them and write them down from memory. Here, Debbie, with the tray and almost 20 items (or more!)...

Furiously writing down the items. Judy, the girl with the wrap, managed to write down 20 items!!! Me - ZERO!! I was busy taking pictures and trying to distract them....
Pauline sharing a short devotion on Lydia, encouraging us to be women of reputation and to live for the Lord. The time ended with prayer for one another. The team also brought toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss to give away. Pauline is also a dental hygienist and even had a show and tell time and showed the girls how to use dental floss. Many haven't even seen dental floss before, much less to know how to use it. It was a good evening, in every way.

To blog or not to blog is the question....

I was wondering if I should keep this blog when we relocate to Malaysia??? I know that our friends in Malaysia and elsewhere are interested about our lives in Kenya but Malaysia??? I am not sure... I am thinking about it... write me a comment if you think I should keep it up!! Some random pics.... This is Max longing for his daddy. He did this the entire time that Tony was in Malaysia.. poor baby! He loves Tony! Awwww......(the girls' favorite expression!) Kat took some pictures around campus....pretty eh? This huge pine tree is on our front yard. This is one of Vickie's teachers. The middle school was raising funds for some social projects and he challenged them if they raised a certain amount he would shaved off his beard and if they raised even more money, he would shave his hair as well! Brave man and they did raised the funds!! Too bad I didn't get the 'after' picture! Vickie is on the far left, as a stage hand during one of their drama production. She ...

A clean bill of Health!

We have been busy with different appointments.....the girls got their vaccination, Tony and I had a general checkup - cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure and several other health issues checked. We are basically healthy. Tony needs to have a minor surgical procedure (on his back) which we still have to work on - finding the surgeon,etc. We also went to the dentist today and the girls and I have NO cavities!!!!! The dentist did some cleaning for us but Tony did have to have a filling done. All in all, the Phangs are in pretty good health - Praise the Lord!! We are also so grateful to our doctor and dentist for giving us their services so lovingly and generously- we are so bless! Another friend (we kinda met on this blog:-) got us rooms in a hotel in Penang, a holiday island- kind of! Woohoo!!!! We will get to have a vacation after our ministry time in Ipoh - we are so looking forward to that. Last evening, we took Tony's mom and sister out for a meal and visited with the...

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...
