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

"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
