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.

"It is finished" - Jesus Christ

Image
John 19:30 - When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. It's Good Friday again. The world pauses and recollects the events that changed the course of history. For me it was a time to reflect on the finished work of our Lord on the cross. He paid the price for my redemption. But it dawned on me that Jesus, himself, had a task to do while on this earth, He was on a mission. There was a time frame. There was a script to follow. In military terms , there was an objective he had to capture. Anything short would have been a disaster. But towards the end, in spite of the agony at Gethsemane, the unfair trail, humiliating and torturous journey via Dalarosa, Jesus cried, "It is finished". What an achievement. What a fitting eulogy.  Jesus was faithful to His mission - Hebrew 3:2 Jesus was focused on His mission - Luke 9:51 Jesus finished His mission - John 19:30  Judas towards th

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

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
