Missions Seminar and Bangkok

Tony and I ministered in the Missions Weekend at Hope of Glory Church. Pas Khor and his wife, Chin Nee has become good friends over the years since our return to Malaysia.  They are such encouraging and affirming friends and we were so blessed to speak in their missions conference.
I spoke twice on Saturday and Tony ministered in the evening service and both services on Sunday. It is so encouraging and inspiring to see the congregation response at the altar.




We had to leave immediately after the second service on Sunday to get to the airport to Bangkok. Tony had to be at meetings the next day. It was great that it was a Sunday and traffic was great. We made it in good time to airport and on the way to Bangkok. Tony had not been to Bangkok for more than 20 years! I was there 5 years ago but lots has changed since then.

Tony will be speaking in a pastors conference next year in June in Bangkok and he joined the planning committee in checking out the facitilies and figuring out the logistics. It was an awesome facility with the capacity to host 5000 participants. Looks like lots of work for the committee. They had free starbucks coffee :)


  Bangkok is such huge city...even much bigger than Kuala Lumpur. Our hotel, arranged by the organiser, was in the heart of the downtown Bangkok aka shopping paradise :) There was this huge mall right across the street from our hotel.


There was a car show and here is Tony pretending that the Mercedes was his .... we can dream, can't we?


 Sorry for the poor lighting but I wanted to show you the streetfood. We love streetfood...durian, pad thai, mango and sticky rice, grilled sausages, roast meat.....


Interesting grafiti


Food trucks!! How much fun is this??!


We managed to meet Dustin and Natalie for lunch on our last day in Bangkok. They are missionaries in Thailand. We knew them when their parents, Debbie and David were in Kenya. There were kids then and now they are parents to 4 kids incuding a teenager! How time flies! It was so good to reconnect with them in their neck of the woods.

 Tony and I parted ways at the airport as he was continuing trip to Chiangrai for ministry; while I fly home. The Don Muang airpot i.e. the budget airport is pretty boring, not like the main one. There wasn't much to see but I was estatic when I saw Black Canyon...they have awesome coffee. What a great end to my trip!  I apologise for the blurry picture...was too excited:)

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...
