Short trip to India

This was a short trip but a very special one. We ordained 3 Singaporean brothers who have been our mission partners for a number of years. Bro James Ng, Bro Albert Pang and Bro Victor Gog. These men have been faithfully teaching and sowing into the lives of the people in the mission field . In view of their contribution and partnership, PEC India decided to honor  them with the title Reverend. I had some personal matters to attend as well.

Victor Got and his wife Sharon arrived  Hyderabad together with me on 26 Aug early morning. As usual Bishop Nehemiah was at the airport to receive us.

On 26 and 27 Aug Bro Victor Got taught some church planters and pastors on the subject of Spiritual Gift and Stewardship. The response was good.

During these two days, I set some of my friends, Bro Sam and his family in the outskirts of Hyderabad and Bro Vijay who was a participant in the last batch of the SLE in Maui. It ws indeed a blessings to meet these men who have a great passion for the lost.

On 28 morning, we flew to Banglore and from there two and half hours by road to KGF, where the ordination ceremony was to take place. Bro James and Bro Albert had already gone there earlier to teach pastors on more discipleship subjects. Our coordinators Bishop Samuel Sharm and Rev Raji also attended and participated in the ceremony.

The ceremony was simple but dignified. The awesome presence of the Holy Spirit was felt in the service. I shared on Acts 6:1-7 and explained the importance of the Ordination process. I was blessed and it marked another mile int eh PEC Missions journey. 

I am grateful to Pst Dass in KGF for providing us the premises to conduct the ceremony.  

We flew back to Hyderabad the next day and took the flight back to Singapore. Touched down Singapore this morning, To God be 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...
