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.

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...

Fare-thee-well my friend, Rev James Ng - A tribute

Image
I t was with deep sadness that we bade farewell to another of God's General, Rev James Ng. But we don't grieve like the rest of the world because of the hope we have in Christ Jesus. We will meet him soon at the Master's feet. To me , he was more than a friend. A true brother in Christ. He was one of the pillars of our Missions work in Asia. A true missionary, teacher, philantrophist and servant with a devoted passion for His Master.  I met James in 2010, when he attended the Haggai Area Seminar, held in RELC. He was introduced to me by our dear friend, Sis Doreen Lim and her husband Dr Lim. Thereafter we became good friends and he became acquainted with our mission work. He was a regular on many of those trips. He preached and taught the Word to many church planters and congregations. It was not easy for him, with all his medical conditions. There were times when we had to travel long hours on the road, up the mountains, down ...
