Arrived Thant Yan, Myanmar

We departed Yangon yesterday at about 4:20pm. The journey was long but manageable. Today 6am we stopped at a place for breakfast. It was cold up in the mountains. Probably about 15 degrees Celsius. A hot bowl of noodles was all that was needed to keep warm.

We finally arrived Lasio at 8:30am after travelling for about 16 hrs on the road. From there we hired s cab and travelled another 4 hrs, the drive through the mountains was pleasant and breathtaking. We finally arrived at our destinations at 1:30pm.

Finally got to get a good shower and change our clothes and on a soft bed.


Later in the evening we visited the Shadrach Home. This is a new beginning. PEC is adopting this Home, administered by one of the CPs trained in Yangon. She is Sis Khaw Shin, together with a helper Martha runs this Home for the underprivileged children. The kids were so well disciplined. They sang from the bottom of their hearts and listened attentively to the stores told by Bro Patrick and Bro George.

I left the place with great joy in my heart. Yet another beginning. The Lord is indeed enlarging our tents. We see great potential for expension in this work with new partners coming in board. Praise Gid indeed.

There are two main sponsors fir this project. We thank God for all these sponsors and  their companies.
With Sis Khaw Shin and Sis Martha

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...
