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.

"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
