1st Batch Graduation at PEC- Ecclesia Training Centre

Together with my wife Jeya, we went to to Kanniyakumari to officiate the 1st Batch Graduation Ceremony. It was indeed a great privileged to be at the PEC - Ecclessia Training Centre. Pst John Signey, the Principal and the team at the center were extremely hospitable and we are much blessed and humbled by their love care and concern.

I was also blessed to have Bishop Nehemiah, Rev Dhanaraj and Pst Joshua from AP to be part of the celebration. Just as David had his mightily men, these are our pillars in AP.

We arrived on 8th Mar and on 10th March I conducted two sessions with the students on Biblical Mandate ,17 students participated in the sessions. In the evening we attended a village church where I shared the word.

The graduation ceremony was held on 11th Mar at the centre grounds. The whole program was well organised and it was an historic moment for us in PEC as well as for Pst John Signey. The whole centre was started by faith and finally the prophecy that God gave to our dear Pastor's parents was fulfilled. May God bless the parents with good health and long life.

We have a good group of students who are committed and zealous for the Lord. We prayed and dedicated these young men to the mission field to be church planters and evangelists for the kingdom of God.

We thank God for the opportunity to partner with Pst John Signey and his team. A good man who loves the Lord with an exceeding great heart for missions. He has a God given vision and a driving passion. Such people are rare in India.

We returned home on 12th Mar, tired but with great joy to know that our labour in the vineyard is indeed bearing fruits for the Kingdom.

My sincere thanks to all who have prayed and supported this ministry. All glory to God.

    Jesus Lives Today! We could see that in the life of our dear Sir and Madam. PEC - Ecclessia Training centre is the fruit of your sacrificial love for the lost people in India. It is another proof that God's ministry done in God's way will never lack God's support. We started building a small building by faith and faith alone and it took two years for completing it. Even the builder who built it teased that it is fit only for dogs to sleep. But today through Sir's sacrificial support men are going out to plant churches after training. Thanks be to God. Thanks to Sir, Madam and PEC Singapore.

Remembering Sis Jenima Sharma - A tribute

Image
Sis Jenima went to be with the Lord on 14 Nov 2024, after battling with  Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) for some time.  This is our tribute to her. It was in 2008, when I first met Sis Jenima, the wife of our Bishop Samuel Sharma. It was during our first trip to NE India, Jaigaon in particular. We were there to conduct a pastors' conference at the bidding of Bishop Samuel who had attended the Haggai Leaders' Experience in Singapore a few months earlier. This was the beginning. She was demure, quiet, hardly spoke a word in English. But she was extremely hospitable and genuinely kind. At that time they lived in a very simple house, with hardly any furnishing, all because of the call of God upon her life to serve the Master.  But one thing was certain. She loved the Lord, her husband and her two young children. She always wanted them to serve the Lord all their lives. She was a remarkable woman whose life reflected the love and grace of God in every aspect.  He...

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...

25th Wedding Annivesary - Silver Jubilee

Image
11-1-11 - 25th Wedding Anniversary. Today my wife and I celebrate our Silver Jubilee, 25 years of being married together. How time flies. I look out of the window, the weather reminiscent of the day we got married. It was raining the whole day and so is today. How appropriate. Praise God for His faithfulness in our lives and for the blessings He has given us. Lam 3:22-23 - Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. It has been a wonderful journey. Yes there were disagreements, quarrels, desperation and even "fights" but through it all, our love has grown stronger for the Lord , for the family, for the ministry and for one another. Jeya has been the magnet that holds our family together. Almost three months in a year I am out of country for ministry and kids busy in school. But she has always been the inventory holder that keeps reminding of the things that needs to be done an...
