Report from the Himalayas

The following report was given by our Coordinator in North East India, Pst Samuel Sharma.

By God's grace in March 2010 we started church planting pioneering work in Bhutan with seven Church planters under the banner of PEC Singapore. After much difficulty and hard work, we saw the fruits of our labour

Phurba and Dil bahadur (our co-workers) worked in the south western regions of Bhutan, and they are doing tremendous work, traveling from village to village sharing the gospel, they faced alot of obstacles, since the country doesn't allow the conversion and it is against the law.

Phurba had started the cell in a place called Khanna Bhatti which is in the same district while Dil Bahadur started another work in Chengmari. By God's grace both the cells are growing.

Another cell started in Rangetung in Pasakha Bhutan under Chukha District by Martha Rai. Martha is a simple lady but very effective. On 23 Jul after five months of hard work, she will be baptising seven people. Friends its very hard to win souls in Bhutan.

There is another sister, Sis. Shanti Rai, who is working in Gurung dara which is also Chukha district. She has just started the work and travelling from place to place seeking the lost for the Lord. The help they are getting is not enough for their living but, thank God, they are not grumbling.

Dilip is also preparing some men and women to join the fellowship.

Issack Tamang and Arjun Chettri are doing their best to do work in a better way.

Please pray for them. They are from the village and face criticisms and accusations from the people living in the society. Therefore please pray for each one of them.

Thank you.



Rev Samuel Sharma

    Ye christian soldiers,
    rules against the foes in vales below,let all our strength be hurled;
    Faith is the victory we know,
    that overcomes the world

"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
