In His Time.......... with P.Ramachandran

P articipants in the seminar The Leadership Seminar was held from 21-22 Jul in Grace Methodist Church in Ganghwa Island in South Korea. More than 20 pastors attended the seminar. The seminar was also report over the main Christian channel in South Korea. We received many good feedback about the seminar and there is a possibility of conducting another one in Bushan very soon. Praise God for all the opportunities t train other leaders. Jeya and I returned home on 23 Jul evening. We praise God for Rev Paul Kye and his wife Esther for all their love and care. They really showered us with their generosity. We praise God for such wonderful people.

This morning we had two services in Ganghwa Church. We were blessed to be here and they were blessed too. We praise God fro all His blessings and for His mighty presence. In the afternoon we went to an Old Folk Home for Ladies. Jeya shared the Word to the inmates. We had a good time of just ministering to these old ladies, most of them in their sunset days. What a blessing. Looking at NKorea just across the river Later in the evening we took an hour's drive to view North Korea's frontier from the Gangahwa Peace Observation deck. The feeling was just omnious  watching North Korea from the Han River . This nation needs Jesus. With Rev Paul Kye and his wife Esther

Praise God for this opportunity to minister in South Korea. Jeya was able to join me this time and it was indeed a blessing. We arrived Incheon Airport at about 7.30AM today after transit in Hi Chi Minh City. Rev Paul Kye was there to greet us. We had a good time if reminiscing the wonderful work f our Lord in our individual lives. Rev Paul had kindly housed us in a friend's home. Bro Nam and his wife are wonderful hosts and have let us use their whole us form our stay. Beautiful home with a scenic  refreshing environment. We are indeed grateful to the Lord and good friends. With Bro CK Nam, our host We start our ministry tomorrow. Specially reassuring to know PEC is praying for us. Jeya shares the Word to a group of young people. Looking forward.

Tonight we had the first board members' family get together.  It was pot luck and we had a good time of getting to know each other. Coming together like this helps to bond and understand our families and needs. We discussed how spouses can help in mentoring and serving in the chruch. Good food and great fellowship. Looking forward to the next.  Alvin and Punitha joined us later (not in picture)

I had the privilege of speaking at both the morning and evening services on Sunday as it was Mission Sunday . The message was entitled "Encountering God" based on Isaiah 6:1-13 Anyone who encounters God, encounters His holiness (verses 1-4) To be holy is to be distinct, separate, in a class by oneself To be holy is to be morally pure. For God to be holy is for Him to be holy in relation to every aspect of His nature and character. Three things happen when a person truly encounters Jesus 1.        1. Inward examination                 N otice his guilt:       I am undone      I am a man of lips    I  I well amongst people of unclean lips       2.   Vertical comprehension       A person who encounters God – encounters God’s heart       Ver...

Though she may forget,   I will not forget you!  See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.
