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

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...
