Pakistan Flood Relief - Follow-up

In Oct Praise Evangelical Singapore embarked on a humanitarian mission in partnership with Bishop Haroon, Pastor of the United Methodist Church of Pakistan and an alumni of Haggai Institute. The aid was well received and the victims were deeply thankful for the efforts. However what we did was only a drop in the ocean. Much needs to be done. As winter was fast approaching, we decided to embark on another mission to help alleviate the misery of the hush weather. Pst Steven went to Lahore from 12-15 Dec and together with Bishop Haroon's team, helped 300 families with rice and basic winter apparels. The Bishop had the following words to say:

"The Methodist Church of Pakistan and all its staff , all over the Pakistan are thankful for your help and for your practical love of Christ for 300 floods affected families for distributing winter need Items and food on the occasion of Christmas 2010.

We are thankful to The Lord Jesus for The Praise Evangelical Church and staff who made it possible and motivated generous people like Brother Rama and Rev Steven to help the Flood affected families and sowing the good seed for the church planting and other church mission in the land of Pakistan. Through this distribution the Lord Jesus has opened many doors of ministry and also this will impact on our Church growth as well. All our Pastor are very happy and asking divine blessing for your ministry. We are confident that God will give the rewards to you and your Church for this great work for His kingdom."

All Glory to God.

"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
