PEC Church Camp 2014 - 12-16 Jun


Church camps have been a regular feature in PEC's history. Its a time of feeding on the Word as a family and bonding. It rejuvenates the soul, spirit and the family.


This year is no exception. But this year's church camp broke all records. 121 people attended the camp , with some others coming in for day sessions only. It was held in Pulai Springs, Johor. We also prayed much before the camp, that this will not be like any other. A time of revival and moving forward in the right direction.



The Lord did not disappoint us. Good word from Pst Daniel Moses and good fellowship. The results are to be seen in the days to come and I believe we will.

 We also celebrated Father's Day as well in the camp. Reminded me of my own father, a man of discipline and no-nonsense. A true disciple leaving behind a true legacy. I was especially touched by the words of Pst Nehemiah, who was invited to attend the camp,..."You are the father of us all in India". If that is true, then God's Amazing Grace has once again proved its point as it did in the case of the prodigal son. Another sister whispered softly as she shook my hands, "You are a father to PEC as well". Hmmm... I just realized, by Singapore standards, I am already a senior citizen..



 Cake cuttings by the fathers and leaders of PEC. Great celebration and remembering the legacy of our fathers. The kids presented their fathers with some tokens of love, hugs and lisses;



Sunday evening I was in the pool together with most the youths who attended the camp, playing Captain's Ball, a favorite in PEC camps. I looked around in the pool. Those around me were faster, stronger and full of energy. A new generation is arising. The Joshua Generation, with great potential and without any baggage of the past. Probably its time for the passing of the baton. They will take on the next lap and move Singapore and the world by storm. And for us, as two prophets have said, a foreign country beckons. We await the marching orders.

"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
