Update from Mission Field.

Report from our NE Coordinator

Greetings  from Samuel in Jesus Name.

The  Ministry in Sikkim, Lava , Assam and  Todey was done in a very  successful way. I thank you all for the continuous prayers support.  

I   left  home on 10th July and  arrived  today on 18th  2013. The  Purpose of  this  trip  was  to meet with our  brothers who are  in fields and  to evaluate the work there.  The  Trip was not  so easy.  It was  raining heavily and  the raods  were  blocked by the landslide and  stream waters.




As you know that the journey  to the Himalayan regions  will not be as  easy . The  roads  will be  very  slippery and  many a times people will hardly returned back after they left home.

Every turn on roads was great trouble. The Rain water was flowing from The road like stream water. The roads were very slippery. We hardly saw any vehicle travelling in our whole trip. People rarely travel in monsoon.

We  reach Pakhyoung in the  evening and have  fellowship  with our  Believers  who were waiting for us. The next day Pastor Richen organized  a baptism program and  13 people took water baptism in Ranipool river. After  Baptism  we  visited Linding, Rumtek , Lingdog and  Back  to Pakhyoung   12 at  midnight. We have  no food  That  day, it  was  very  busy  schedule and the journey  was  delayed  by the Fogs.

On 12th July we visited  Rabongla which in one of the Buddhist  dominated  Place. Rabongla is  know to be  second Tibet by the Buddhist people. It is very cold now also. We had to Travel 2100 M above the sea level.   In Rabongla Christians are not allowed to build any church buildings,  so they  worship the  Lord in a small room.

There are many places in India where Christian are restricted  to preach the Gospel. We covet your prayers for such places so that the people may hear the  Gospel and  know Jesus as their  personal  savior. From Rabongla, we returned down to east and  Travel Through, Ranipool, Singtam, Majhitar,Rangphoo and  Rhenock.

In Renock we had short break and left  for  Lava  to west Bengal. On way Back we met Isaac, our  brothers  who was not  well. We prayed for him and The next  day  15th  July , I went  direct  from Lava  to Assam and have  time  with our brothers there.

In Assam I have been to Khas Busty, Grahampur, Pothurdhubhi, Raimona and Nayagoan. The journey was very worst. As  I reach Assam Bengal Border, The  cobra  Groups called for a strike and  we needed to stay  for  hrs  to cross the Border of  Assam and Bengal. The weather was not  suitable  for  travel.

Due to heavy rain the roads were flush away and we travel  in motorcycles. The journey was painful. On way Back from Assam, I met Maratha and Esdor who are enduring lot of hardship in the ministry fields.

The journey to Sikkim, Assam, Lava and todey went  well though it was very  tiring.

But   praise  God The Lord is  at  work  and  That is only  Joy of  serving HIM.

Thank you so much for  all The Prayers supports given by  you  for The  whole trip .

I will be leaving  for Nepal, Bhutan and Darjeeling on 1st August.

In  the Whole trip, 13  people in  Sikkim,  2 in Assam and  5 in Todey   and  total 20 People were given water  Baptism.

Glory  to HIM and HIM alone.

"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
