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.

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...
