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.

Remembering Sis Jenima Sharma - A tribute

Image
Sis Jenima went to be with the Lord on 14 Nov 2024, after battling with  Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) for some time.  This is our tribute to her. It was in 2008, when I first met Sis Jenima, the wife of our Bishop Samuel Sharma. It was during our first trip to NE India, Jaigaon in particular. We were there to conduct a pastors' conference at the bidding of Bishop Samuel who had attended the Haggai Leaders' Experience in Singapore a few months earlier. This was the beginning. She was demure, quiet, hardly spoke a word in English. But she was extremely hospitable and genuinely kind. At that time they lived in a very simple house, with hardly any furnishing, all because of the call of God upon her life to serve the Master.  But one thing was certain. She loved the Lord, her husband and her two young children. She always wanted them to serve the Lord all their lives. She was a remarkable woman whose life reflected the love and grace of God in every aspect.  He...

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...
