First Fruits in Tamil Nadu

I was simply overwhelmed by the following report from Pst John Signey. After graduating from the PEC-Ecclesia Training Centre, our young church planters set out in Mar 10 to pioneer work in unreached places. After four months, we are seeing the first fruits. I truly praise our God and everyone involved in this mission, the church planters, the trainers/supervisors, the sponsors and everyone who has prayed for this work. TO GOD BE THE GLORY

==================
Dear Sir,

Warm Greetings In Jesus Name.

It is with much joy I am writing this mail. First of all let me affirm our heartfelt thanks to our Sir, Pastor Steven and other honorable friends who made this a reality.All Glory to God.

I reached Nayakkanpatti on Monday morning and was excited to see the work of brother Ayyappan in the midst of various challenges. Now he became dear to many people in this village and nearby villages. But there are threats and difficulties. He took me to five villages where he had so me ministry activities. I spoke in two prayer meetings.


Bro Ayyappan




It started as a free tution centre


It was with great joy I baptized four people and they are from very strict Hindu families. They testified that they heard the Name Jesus from our missionary for the first time. They are very genuine in their conversion.

There are five more willing to take baptism but they fear their family members. We prayed for them. God willing they will take baptism soon.

Bro Ayyappan started everything with a free tuition and that gave acceptacne and respect in the village. I met the children around fourty of them from strict HIndu families a nd prayed for them.


The First baptism

I was very humbled and rejoiced in the spirit. I tried to call Sir there itself to express my excitement and joy and gratitude. But I could not. I am attaching the pictures. In reality a great ministry has started.





The First church


Once again thanks from our hearts.

Pastor S.John Signey

"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
