First return to Kenya!

I am so thankful to the Lord for providing for a return trip to Kenya early this year in January. I was able to reconnect with our ministries and put some plans together our ministries in Kenya to continue to go forward. We graduated ten pastors in Beni. I met with Bethuel, our congolese pastor and brought their certificates with me from ICM for the graduates and money for their graduation in Beni. I should have some pioctures somewhere!
David (on the right) is Lucy's husband and run the orphanage together. On his right, is Bethuel, our pastor from Congo. I wanted Bethuel to visit our income generating project at the orphanage - our chicken farm! David was moved by the need in Congo and donated 20 chickens for Bethuel to start his own project in Congo! It blesses me when I see how we reach out and help one another!
Praise the Lord that our food store was not empty!! However, beans and rice and all our staples have gone up considerably and surviving month to month is still a challenge. Yet, we thank God for His daily provision.

Because I was vistiting, there was meat! Glad Tidings Klang sent me money for a big meal for the kids and so it was a HUGE treat!

Potatoes! Lots and lots of potatoes!
Classes going on well!
Happy productive layers!
This is a coffee table at the Premium Lounge in Dubai! I was able to enjoy the lounge because I was upgraded to Business Class on my way to Nairobi!!! YAY!!! I am never flying with my family again!

Huge flood near where we used to live...I don't miss this at all

OR this....massive road contruction going on for a supposedly super highway. This translates to massive and insane traffic jam....I DEFINTELY do not miss this part of living in Kenya!


,While I was gone, the girls continue to be very busy with school and Next Degree - the name of their Christian Fellowship. Both girls are leaders in the fellowship and Kathryn has been also playing the keyboard, leading in worship and emceeing. Vickie is busy ushering and is part of the worship team.

First Chinese New Year for the girls....ANG POWS!!!! For those of you who are not familiar, one of the practices of the Chinese New Year is the giving of these angpows - little red envelopes like these to children. THe contents.....MONEY!!!
The girls are excited!!! (pssttt... someone please tell me how to rotate pics in blogspot!) They wanted to know if we celebrate Chinese New Year every month!! They made quite a pocketful!!

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...
