Returning Home

26 Apr - We started the day with devotion. After breakfast, the team went out to do a little sightseeing and shopping, while I stayed back to complete my preparation for the next assignment, family camp in Genting Highlands over the weekend with SS Gospel Centre.

As I began to pray and reflect about the trip, the following thoughts came to my mind:

  • Happy to see the work of God growing in Myanmar through PEC.
  • Shadrach Home was indeed a blessing but they have many needs. The monthly support for one needs to be increased. The facilities need some renovation. We need to look for a permanent building in the future.
  • Many christians have no clue about the suffering of the poor in the 3rd world countries, needless to say don't seem to have the passion to reach the unreached. The Indian village as a heart breaker. Hopefully we can do something in the future to eliminate their poverty.
  • The church planters in Myanmar work in difficult situations, sometimes sacrificing their families in the process. They need encouragement, more refresher training and a bit more of financial support.
  • Pst John Phongshar has been a great blessing.
  • So happy for the team from PEC. They are so united and worked as a team. Truly seen the love of Jesus in them. They have been challenged by what they saw. Praying that they will continue to enlarge their visions far as missions and evangelism is concerned.
We set off for home in the evening. Flight was slightly delayed. Arrived Singapore this morning about one in the morning. Jeya and Jonathan came to pick me from the airport. Few hours of rest and off to work. Praying God for all the strength and favour He has shown. To God be all the GLORY

"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
