Mission trip update -100th. Church dedication

Sunday morning, we had a wonderful Sunday morning service in Rassolpura. The church was overflowing with people. Worship was vibrant and the people are more dignified and organized. Praise God for all that He is doing through Bishop Nehemiah and his leaders. It was also a time of celebration for Bishop Nehemiah, as he recounted 25 years of life as a christian. 

Later in the after noon we drove for about two hrs to reach Nakrekal., Nalagonda District. We dedicated the 100th church building under PEC missions. It was in a village called Vootkur. About 60 people attended the dedication. It was a simple ceremony with a little bit of fanfare. 
Bro Inbaraj’s parents, Mr and Mrs Amirtharaj Muthaiah, sponsored this building. It was simple but dignified ceremony. We sat there with gratitude and praise to our Lord who has enabled us to come this far in spite of all odds. It was rather emotional for my wife and me as we saw the fruits of our labour. God has indeed blessed this work and to Him alone be the glory.
This is indeed a landmark event. For me, after the many years of toiling and enduring all the many challenges, it was a sweet compensation.
Bro John Inboards parents were emotionally moved as they witnessed the event. They were especially glad to see their son and daughter-in-law serving God in the ministry. Bro John shared the Word on God's blessing for His people. 
All glory goes to Him who put us n this journey and who had proved Himself over and over again to be the only true and wise God. To Him to Glory for ever and ever, Amen.

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...
