Tammies in de Tropen


“God is not looking for men of great faith, He is looking for common men to trust His great faithfulness”

Hudson Taylor

Intro

We are the Tamminga family and as a family we feel called by God to move to Penang, Malaysia this summer. We will regularly post a blog on this website in which you can read how we are doing now in the preparations and later in Penang. We are looking forward to returning to Asia as we lived in Borneo, Indonesia from 2008 - 2015. We move in trust and faith, step by step, day by day with anticipation and hope for what He will do.

What are we experiencing??

Who we are?

We are the Tamminga family and we would like to introduce ourselves.

Jan-Willem

Passionate about Jesus, reading, football and many more things, JW likes to embark on new adventures. In addition, he is always up for a sporting challenge (if someone else participates).

Marlinde

In addition to years of teaching as an English teacher, Marlinde enjoys reading a good book on the couch, watching fun series and spending time with her family. The best start to the day for her is an early start in quiet with a cup of coffee and an open Bible.

Anna-Lynn

Sporty and creative, enthusiastic and always up for something new are words that suit Anna-Lynn. In addition, she is always up for a chat and has an eye for everyone around her. She loves thrift shopping and finding nice gifts for others.

Yanoah

Football and the PlayStation are two things that Yanoah gives a lot of his free time to. He also has a group of friends who really enjoy these things, which is why the house is regularly full of teenage boys.

Sifra

Drawing and creating things suit Sifra! Sifra also likes to dance and her cat Mozes gets more than enough cuddles.
