Update from the field


Update from Bishop Nehemiah, our AP Coordinator

"Respected Sir..

Greetings in Jesus name..

On this Monday 14-May-2012 early in the morning we reached Manipaelm village in Mahaboobnagar District. One of our Church planters Pst. Aron is working in this village. As we all know Mahaboobnagar is very back ward district. Economically and Evangelically. Education rate is very low in this district. Always people migrate to neighboring towns like Hyderabad and Bangalore. Mahaboobnagar labor force is known as 'Hard working laborers in Roads and Buildings'. Castism dominates this district and there is much opposition for the Gospel. Some year ago, when I was in CBN, while showing Jesus film in one village called Mahaboobnagar, one group came to kill us with the Kerosene tins and Axes, we left the vehicle and Film equipments and ran 14KM in the agricultural fields and whole night we walked and reached a nearby town, immediately boardedt the bus and went back to Hyderabad. Sir, from that day we were seriously praying for this district. With the help of our District co-coordinator Pst. Prabhakar, our Church planter Pst. Aron is working in six surrounding villages in this Mahaboobnagar District. They invited us to speak in the one day Gospel meeting. We had wonderful time of prayer and fellowship. After the meeting 13 people came forward to take water baptism. We have given baptism in Krishna River.

Local Church is very much happy and thankful to PEC for all your prayers and support. Its really great sir, people are coming forward to give their lives to Jesus in this Dry Area.

Please uphold the church and pastors in your daily prayers.

I am attaching few pictures of this program.

Thank you very much sir..

Nehemiah."

"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
