Image
Bro  Samuel , Bro Stephen and  I  went on this trip.  Our objectives are two fold: 1.   Conduct a leadership seminar for about 30 leaders 2.   See if there are any church planting opportunities in Cambodia.  Pst Roger and his wife Deb We arrived in Siem Reap at about 3pm. Our host, Pst Roder was there to pick us up. I met Pst Roger and his wife Deb at the Hi Penang National Seminar in 2012. They are Filipino missionaries, serving the Lord in Cambodia. Our transport from the airport was a modified motorcycle with an attached carriage. A very unique experience indeed. That evening we had dinner at a road side stall. These stalls are a plenty in Siemreap, reminiscence of the yester years in Singspore. And the food was delicious and exceptionally reasoanable, $1:50 a disk. Reminded me of those days in the 70's of old Chong Pang Village, around Sultan Theater. Those were the days....Singaporeans go crazy in ...

We had another enriching trip to NE India. Blessed to see all the wonderful things the Lord is doing with His people. In spite of the swine flu and the bird flu, the Lord protected us and kept us safe through all the dangerous terrain. We had some challenges before our return to Singapore but God was in control of the situation and He saw us through. The objectives of the trip were as follows:  1.   Church dedication 2.   Visit Church planters 3.   Seminar with PEC church planters and students in PEC School of Ministry in Jaigon Bro James Ng, Bro Albert and his wife Sis Josephine, my wife and I went on this trip. Rev Samuel Sharma and PSt Daniel from Assam greeted us at Bagdogra Airport. We praise God for such committed and dedicated people with a heart sold out for teh Great Commission. We visited our  church  planters in Sonoda, West Bengal, Bijan Bari in Darjeeling and in Lava. This church is in Lebong and pastored by Abishek ...

Weekend at Klang, Malaysia

Image
Jeya and I were once again privileged to at Bethany Life, Klang. We always look forward to being there, especially with good friends and likeminded people. Since they started their new journey two years ago, it has been a trill to see them overcome challenges and also to see how God has been good to them. We also look froward to being with Pst Stephen Chandra Mohan, his dear wife Flora and their two children. Another great example of people who love God and not afraid to Soil their hands. Willing to make hard decisions and passionate for the Lord. Bro Reni and his wife Rosalind picked us up from the airport. This couple has been a great blessing to the church.   That evening we met the leaders of he church for a time of fellowship and dinner. We witnessed true unity amongst church leaders, about 10 of them and their wives and children. There was transparency, love and humility. Simply overwhelming. Sunday morning I spoke on the Passover. The title of th...

A Praise Report from from Orissa

Image
The following report was submitted from Pst Anjan, our Orissa Coordinator, "Dear sir , Warm greetings to you in His precious name . We are all keeping fine by the grace of God and through your prayers .  Last month I visited Kandmal and Rayagada districts to see all our church planters . I am glad to see the work of our church planters . Most of them are working so hard and creating new fields . Set from from the bondage of Satan Last month I had attended a fasting prayer which was conducted by one of our new graduates . According to the testimony of that village people there were no christians in that village before. There was a lady who was possessed by a dumb spirit for three and a half year . She was unable to go any where in the public place.  But after the fasting prayer God touched her and set her free completely, she gave this testimony on 27 th Feb in our fasting prayer meeting .  New believers In my second visit to that village ...

Sunday morning service

Image
I had the privilege to speak at  GSJA Duta Kasih,  about 30 mins from Jakarta central. Beautiful church with about 150 people in the service, mostly Indonesians of Chinese origin. Just like in the Philippines, christians are serious about their relationship with God and they have a great potential to reach the world for Jesus Christ. They have the resources and the ability. May God move them beyond their shores to reach the unreached. Later in the  morning, we attended the second service in IES central. Praise God for the Word. Simple yet refreshing indeed. "Love is a verb" Sunday afternoon Pst Stefano and his wife Livia took me to do a little shopping, an early dinner and brought me right to the airport. I had learnt a lot from this couple. They were extremely hospitable  loving and kind. I have seen the marks of our Lord Jesus in  their lives. With Pst Stefano and Pst Jokobus I arrived home after ...

Saturday evening service in Jakarta

Image
Saturday evening, I spoke in a  IES Taman Pelem, a branch  church o f International English Service is a part of the Gereja Sidang-Sidang Jemaat Allah di Indonesia (Assemblies of God of Indonesia). About 70 people gathered for the service, most of the  working in  Indonesia .  Pst Tommy is also a  Filipino, who also works for Habitat international. I spoke on the obligation for missions and many responded to the message. Praise God. Group picture with the  leaders. Men with great vision and passion for the Lord. Pst Tommy (on my right) really humbled me. He has a full time job and yet has time to plant a church in that community. We  need more people like him.  After the service Pst Tommy treated  us for a truly traditional Javanese dinner in a nearby restaurant. Singaporeans will certainly go crazy at that place. Praise God for the opport...
