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.

"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
