Ministry in Kuching, East Malaysa

I am settled nicely in the restaurant at 56 Hotel in Kuching. All ready and waiting for Pst Cheng to pick me to the airport.

For the last three days I have been speaking to the christians in Emmanuel Christina Church on Missions and Church planting. I was invite here by Pst Cheng, one of the pastors in this church.  Members from other churches also attended the sessions. 

On Friday night I spoke on "An encounter with God". Saturday morning I toured on the Heart of God and shared on my journey in Missions. In the evening I spoke on the life of Jonah.

This morning, I spoke on "Can't keep quiet", based on 2 Kings 7:1-9. It was good to see many people, especially young people, attend the sessions and the feedback was good.

I also met Bro Brian Lee from Good News Church and had good fellowship on Saturday afternoon. Many of those who I met and taught through the Haggai Seminars also came for the meetings. 

Bro Si Kian Seng and his wife were extremely kind and too me and the church leaders for a sumptuous lunch at Sarawak Club, a famed country club in Kuching. Bro Is was one of the participants in Maui in 2018 when I taught Biblical Mandate.

It was indeed a blessing to meet the Senior Pastor of this church Pst David Kay. A very humble man with a mind of Christ. No airs but simple humility. Very seldom can you see pastors like him today.
Friends from the HI Next-Gen seminar
I had a good time too. It was refreshing and blessed to meet good people with a hunger for church planting in unreached areas.

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...
