Ministry in Telangana State with PEC Youths

Saturday and Sunday were spent in Telangana State. On 8 Jun, after our first devotion, we set off for a church dedication in Kurnool State. The journey would take more 4 hours. On the way we stopped for breakfast at a highway restaurant. The weather was nice. 

The church dedication was in a village called, Kotrai, Kurnool District. This church was sponsored by Bro Ajit and family. For some youths this is the first experience in an Indian village. The sights and smell were overwhelming for some. Bu they took it in good stride.
A good crowd was present for the dedication. The Harini shared a testimony and Angel gave a short exhortation. Jeya shared the world. It was a long drive back. By the time we reached Hyderabad it was about 8pm. We went to Oris for dinner and returned to the hotel.

On Sunday the youths joined the worship service in Rasoolpura. The reception was warm and it was good to see the people.

The youths gave a special song item and Jonathan shared the Word.


After the Sunday service, the youths conducted a Youth Meeting. Youths from two neighbouring churches also attended. They had songs, games and Gaddiel shared the Word. It was a new experience for the youths. They saw the simplicity of the people and the humble conditions. Yet the could sense the passion and fear for God.

Later in the evening Jeya and I went to minister at another church. Bro Sam, whom I met in Maui last year invited me to share in his church, He is one of those with a humble spirit and a great passion foe the Lord. I really thank God for his life and the work God is doing through him. Bethel Evangelical Church in Chandanagar, which was an hours' drive form Rasoolpura. About 200 people turned up for the service and I spoke about Evangelism and Missions. Many people responded to the message. 

On the way back we had good fellowship with Sam and returned to our hotel almost at midnight. But the youths have not slept yet. They were busy practising for their next events.

"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
