HI National Seminar in Mongolia

The participants
Praise God for another opportunity to be in Mongolia. This is my second visit, the last being in 2012. This time the seminar was held in Ulaan Baatar, the capital of Mongolia. So much changes have taken place in the city since I was last here. New developments and new buildings everywhere.

The seminar was held in Khunnu Hotel in the center of the city. 25 participants attended the seminar. They comprised leaders from different fields including pastors and church leaders. I facilitated the subject "Biblical Mandate". 

This group was very interactive asking questions and making many comments during the sessions. They were hungry for more of God. The Holy Spirit moved and touched the participants in a very special way. Many testified how they were impacted by the sessions.

I too was blessed. It was a joy to see Pst Vasile. Good man with passion for God. It excludes from him and it's contagious. We met last in São Paulo in Feb. Somehow God is bringing us to serve Him together.  It was a blessing to work with the organizing committee who were tireless in their efforts to get the seminar going in spite of the many challengers.

It was also a joy to meet Byambatogokh participant from ALT 979/980 in Chiang Mei. He was kind to bring me around UB in the night and to visit his home.

Now back to reality. Stopover at Beijing before returning home. All glory to God.

"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
