In His Time.......... with P.Ramachandran

After almost a 8 year hiatus, Jeya and I have had the opportunity to make this trip once again. My last visit to Myanmar was in 2017 (I think), after which the COVID pandemic and the subsequent military takeover made travel to the country virtually impossible. With the situation appearing somewhat calmer, we prayerfully sensed it was time to “test the waters.” We were grateful to receive an invitation from Pastor John Phongsah to speak at the 2026 Graduation Ceremony of MTC, as well as to participate in the Sunday service at Adonai Community Church. We embark on this visit with thankfulness to the Lord for opening this door once more, trusting Him for wisdom, protection, and fruitful ministry.

About a year ago, the Lord placed a desire in my heart to hold a missions conference for all our coordinators, sponsors and our mission team. At that time, I was unsure how it would turn out. The logistical arrangements seemed complex, and there were many uncertainties.    Towards the middle of last year the need for the conference became urgent.  In Apr 2025, due to a deliberate decision made after much consultation and prayer,  we decided to form an  NGO - TEAM 2819  to continue the mission work under this new banner.    As we continued to pray and step forward in faith, God began to make the way. The Participants  In His provision and grace, the conference became a reality. We were blessed to welcome about 28 participants from 9 different countries. The following countries were represented:  Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, India, Pakistan, Bhutan, Nepal and US. What began as a quiet prompting from the Lord ...

  It's about 730 hrs in the morning. Here we are at the waiting area at T2, Changi International. before departing our flight to Medan. We are all excited to see what God will door us in the Conference. Looking forward to meeting the rest in Media/Berastagi. Earlier we had coffee with Bishop Thomas family and Gaddiel.

Thank you Lord for bringing us through month of Jan. Thank you for giving me strength to  do the things I need to do. Micah 6:8 -   He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do  justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God? Hebrews 12:1-3 - Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off  everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance  the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For  the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right  hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that  you will not grow weary and lose heart. Reflection Both these verses have many things in common. Firstly they both tell me that Jesus set for us an example in the way He lived and died. He has  show...

John  15: 5  , 1 Corinthians  3: 12- 13    “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” -  John  15: 5  ESV   Jesus never called His followers to a private or comfortable faith. From the beginning, His invitation carried an outward focus, one that reaches lost people with the hope of the gospel. Evangelism was never meant to be driven by pressure, fear, or human ability alone. It flows from a living, daily relationship with Christ and results in work that lasts for eternity.    John 15:5 and 1 Corinthians 3:12–13 together show us both the power source and the eternal purpose behind sharing the gospel.   Evangelism that flows from abiding   In John 15:5, Jesus declares, “I am the vine; you are the branches.” This picture reminds us that spiritual fruit, including the fruit of changed lives, does not come from striving harder, ...

On 11 January 2026, we marked forty years of marriage, a milestone that fills my heart with gratitude to God and deep appreciation for the woman who has walked beside me through every season of life. You have been more than a wife; you have been a faithful companion, a steadfast partner, and a wonderful mother to our children. Your love for God has always been the foundation of your life, and from that love flows your devotion to our family. Our children have always known your care, guidance, and strength and I have watched with admiration the way you nurture and protect them. Through the many challenges we have faced, especially the difficult mission journeys and demanding seasons of ministry, you have stood by my side. Calm in pressure, steady in uncertainty, and resilient in hardship, you have been a source of strength when I needed it most. Your discernment and spiritual sensitivity have often brought clarity and wisdom, reminding me that nothing escapes the notice of a heart ancho...
