My brother Kumar welcomed in Glory

My older brother Kumar Periasamy, 54, passed from this life and entered his heavenly home with the Lord on February 25, 2012. He served as Director of International Operations and Programs for Operation Blessing, Inc. He was a member of the Azalea Garden Church of God in Virginia Beach. Born and raised in Singapore, he graduated from Regent University. He joined OB Inc in 1998 serving as regional manager, transitioning to deputy director of Asia Operations of CBN Inc, and finally returning to OB, Inc in Virginia Beach. Under his leadership, teams of OB and CBN employees coordinated relief efforts for the Tsunami affected, providing medical treatment, clean water, war relief and aid to over 30,000 individuals each month. As a friend of the poor and downtrodden Kumar led right from the field, working in the midst of desperate people needing aid. His heart for the poor changed lives all over the world, but his wife and daughter were his greatest delight.

Kumar is survived by his wife of 25 years, Smita Kumar; daughter Manisha Abigail Kumar.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held at Azalea Garden Church of God at 1541 Centerville Turnpike, Virginia Beach. on Friday, March 2, 2012 at 11:00am with burial to follow in Colonial Grove Memorial Park, Virginia Beach.

"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
