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

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...
