Shadrach Home - Casting the vision

Towards the end of last year a dear friend of mine, Doreen Lim, shared with me a passion that was developing in her heart. Doreen is a lawyer with Harry Elias and Partners. The desire is to raise a generation of God fearing children who will be totally sold out to God, just like the Hebrew children in the Book of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. These men stood for the Lord in spite of all the fierce persecution.To this end we started to pray and the Lord put in our hearts the vision of raising an orphanage. We plan to take in 20 orphans and raise them under strict Godly environment. They will be under the tutelage of a God fearing couple and overseen by the principal of the Bible School. They will not go to any secular school but will be home schooled with emphasis on the scriptures. These will be our future missionaries especially to Europe or to the place the Lord will lead them.

In Jan this year I shared this vision with Pst John Signey when I visited him in Kanyakumari. He was totally in shock. He said that he has been wanting to share the same vision with me when I came to the school. In fact he has already identified a land near the school grounds and wanted me to pray and dedicate it for that purpose, without knowing what I was going to share. He was almost in tears. God works in such mysterious ways. I have know Pst John Signey personally for the last 4 years. A good man with a tender heart for the LORD. He will be personally responsible to see the running of this home. I am confident that this vision can take shape.

This is the plan. The building to house 20 kids and the guardians will cost about $20,000. By God's grace this sum can be raised. The challenge is to support the monthly expenses for the home which will come to 1,000 Singapore dollars or USD 750. This is a long term plan and need serious and committed people to pledge towards this course. If you can adopt a child with a monthly contribution of $50, we can put this vision on the right path. With the right people and with God's favour we can fulfill this vision.

I am asking you to pray and if the Lord leads you partner with us to adopt and support a child for $50 a month, do get in touch with me. You contribution will make a difference in the life of a boy who will challenge nations for Christ.


Land identified for the building of the Shadrach Home. Ideal location.

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...
