Its moving in Orissa

The following is a report from our key-man in Orissa. We have 20 church planters in Orissa. Read and be blessed:

"Dear Sir,

Greetings in the name of Jesus.We are all fine here,hope the same with you.

Last week I visited a new village with some of our believers where we got an opportunity to share the gospel to all those non-Christians. The name of this village is (deleted intentionally) in RAYAGADA district,which is 75 kms from my hometown. This village is located inside a thick jungle, 7 kms from roadside.There is no road even for a bike to reach this village.To reach this village we walk through the jungle,crossing a river. this people had never heard of our Lord Jesus.They were so eager and excited to hear from us.

As we shared the gospel and prayed for them,they confessed their sin and completely accepted Jesus as their Lord and personal savior.An old lady of this village who is the main person also a witch,put her trust in Jesus when she heard the gospel from us. we are truly thankful to our almighty God who granted this great privilege to reach the unreached people. And I am also grateful to you specially for your help and prayers.There are still so many villages inside the deep forest where the gospel has not yet reached.

Therefore,dear sir it is my kind request you to please pray continuously so that the Lord will strengthen us to reach the unreached villages and plant at least 100 churches before 2014.

Thank you sir for your vision for the state Orrisa.May God richly bless you and fulfill all your dreams and visions. We pray for the training programme to be started here as soon as it is possible so that many young people will be trained for the gospel work. Greetings from all pastors."

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...
