Church camps!

One of the privilege we have is to speak in camps and retreats. Camps and retreats give us the opportunities to be part of a church or team for a few days and to speak into their lives individually and corporately. We always feel so blessed and privilege that we get to be part of their journey in the Lord.  An additional benefit is that we get to stay in different retreat centres and camp sites which we otherwise would not have visited on our own.






This was a camp at Tanjung Sutera in Johor. It took us more than 5 hours to get there but it was a lovely campsite. The organisers gracioulsy gave us a room facing the ocean. We had incredible ocean views everyday!





This camp was at El Sanctuary in Melaka. This campsite owners are also celebrity chefs and has a cooking show in the Malaysian tv channel. The food was amazing! I have been so slack in blogging that I have forgotten to take more pictures...I should have more pictures of the food and campsite! 


In between the camps and ministries, and Tony leaving for the summer to the States to be with the girls, I had my "21st" birthday. For those of you who don't  know me very well, I celebrate the anniversary of my 21st birthday every year! I was so pleasantly suprised when the Bible study group I teach gave me a suprise birthday celebration after class. I have the best students!



Powerful altar services after the message of yet another camp. This was at Rawang Refreshing Spring with my home church. This campsite is also a fruit orchard and even has a natural hotspring.


I cannot even put into words how incredibly humbled I felt ministering in this camp. Growing up in this church, I would never have imagined that I would one day minister to my peers and elders in a church camp. Always so grateful and blessed to be part of what God is doing in TOD.



We were so suprised to find a hamper packed with goodies in our room at the campsite. My friends know me too well and completely spoilt us! A friend even brought us her home baked durian cake!

I hope you get to see some of the campsites I mentioned in this post. Malaysia has so many amazing touristy gems. I see that the people who read this blog are from all over....I thought I might introduce you to some of the sites in Malaysia - you might want to visit us sometime!

I specifically want to welcome you if you are reading from Russia. Seemed like there is a surge of views from Russia - thanks for reading!

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...
