Alive and Well....and BIG NEWS!

Yup, it's been over two months since I blogged...sorry! Just after my last entry, things started to get a little crazier than usual, if that is possible at all!! We were asked by the General Superintendent of the Kenya Assemblies of God to step in as senior pastors in a local church where the pastor had to be put on immediate suspension due to some serious problems. We were a little hesistant as we already had more than enough on our plates, but yet, it was a need. So we stepped in. At the same time, Tony was getting ready for a ten day trip to Malaysia to preach in a Missions Emphasis for a church and also very many other meetings and fellowships. So he was very busy preparing for all the services in the midst of all. And Kathryn was in a cast for 5 weeks, etc.... So, that gives you a clue what has been going on.

On top of it all, we have been praying for many months concerning a special ministry invitation back in Malaysia and felt that the Lord is leading us to this new assignment. We have accepted to be the senior pastor in a great church in Malaysia. I will post more details in the coming days. We are only starting this make this news public recently as we needed the privacy to help the ministries we are involved with to prepare for the transition. We leave May 31st...yikes!

So we've been busy preparing for our relocation after 17 years in Africa. We arrived in Kenya in October 1992!! Our girls were born and raised here....so you can imagine how huge this transition is for all of us.

I will be able to post more soon...stay tuned!

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...
