15th Anniversary - PEC Odisha

Today, church planters and their wives celebrated PEC's mission work in Odisha for the last 15 years. I wished I was there. It was time to thank God for His faithfulness, without which nothing would have been accomplished. I am indeed grateful to Bishop Anjan and his team for the amazing work they have done. PEC is now one of the established mission organisation in Odisha, reaching the unreached for the Lord and on the way to end gospel poverty in this difficult state.

There had been many challenges but "with Christ in the vessel, we can smile through the storm".

Hundreds of churches have been planted, thousands ushered into the kingdom of God.

I am humbled by this celebration and am thankful to everyone who played a part, sponsored, prayed and stood with us through this momentous journey.

To God alone be all the glory.

Note. from Bishop Anjan

Dear Sir,

15th anniversary of praise Evangelical Church Odisha. 

Lots of thanks to our dear sir Ramachandran . 

Thank you so much sir for your supported your leadership, thank you for always keeping us in prayer. 

Thank you for setting the right example for us. You showed us what servant leader means and your life is a big encouragement for all of us.

Within this 15 years we have seen so many ups and downs in the ministry, many left us for no reason. Pastors were threaten and  beaten, many churches were destroyed in many different places in Odisha. But by the grace of God and through your prayer we are able to continue PEC's ministry here in Odisha. 

We are very much thankful to you dear sir for always standing with us in every situation in our personal & ministerial lives. Thank you for you counsel and guidance and the wisdom you shared with us.

We are also thankful to PEC Singapore for their love and support. 

Thank you so much sir for your love and concern.

On behalf of everyone in PEC's family in Odisha

Devotion - Psalms 44: 6-7 - Its God who gives the victory

Image
Psalms 44:6-7 - I put no trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory; but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame. Any soldier will know that the basic weapon of warfare, in those days, were the bow and sword. Without which no soldier will not venture into the battle field. Even the famed Goliath was geared in full battle order when he faced David with the stones and the sling. Isn't it a paradox then that David, one of the finest soldiers Israel had ever produced, proclaims that its not the bow and the sword that gives the victory. Its is the Lord, Jehovah, that gives the victory. I don't think David is trying to say that we should not prepare ourselves for warfare. His concern is that we recognize that ultimately its the Lord that gives the victory. A few things we need to remember: Human efforts are necessary in the God-man partnership Human efforts alone does not guarantee God intended results Recognize that its God that always gives u

What a trip to Nepal

Image
I am sitting at the airport restaurant in Kathmandu, checked in and waiting for my departure to New Delhi and from there, onward to Singapore.  Just sipping and enjoying the Americano coffee and a slice of cheese cake as I reminiscent my last nine days in Nepal. It has been a incredibly tough trip but one filled with joy, great satisfaction and challenges. Tough because of the bad roads, tracks and mountain trekking that really tested my endurance and my back was sore.  Couple of knocks on the head as the vehicle danced to the tune of the undulating terrain. Days when I had terrible diarrhoea, running from one mountain toilet to another. Thank God I had Dr Mike Ong on this trip who is a medical doctor from Singapore, who attended to my condition. Times when we had to sleep on the cold floor with thin sheets of cloth, with rodents in the vicinity. Temperatures dropped to a low of 10-12 degrees centigrde in the nights. Eating the food offered by the villagers as we were up in the mounta

Fare-thee-well my friend, Rev James Ng - A tribute

Image
I t was with deep sadness that we bade farewell to another of God's General, Rev James Ng. But we don't grieve like the rest of the world because of the hope we have in Christ Jesus. We will meet him soon at the Master's feet. To me , he was more than a friend. A true brother in Christ. He was one of the pillars of our Missions work in Asia. A true missionary, teacher, philantrophist and servant with a devoted passion for His Master.  I met James in 2010, when he attended the Haggai Area Seminar, held in RELC. He was introduced to me by our dear friend, Sis Doreen Lim and her husband Dr Lim. Thereafter we became good friends and he became acquainted with our mission work. He was a regular on many of those trips. He preached and taught the Word to many church planters and congregations. It was not easy for him, with all his medical conditions. There were times when we had to travel long hours on the road, up the mountains, down the valleys, cross rivers, and stay in uncomfor
