Coping with Stress" seminar

Image
Yesterday evening we conducted this seminar  for our Indian guest workers in Westlite Dormitory. There were about 70 participants. The speaker was Rev (Dr) Sovereign Hope Bible Presbyterian church, Singapore.   It was a great opportunity to share God's love with our migrant brothers and be a blessing to them.    Good to see denominations coming together to fulfil the Great Commission. 

Evangelism Workshop in PEC

Today we had the Evangelism Worship in Praise Evangelical Church. There were about 30 participants. Today we looked at "Why the hesitancy for Evangelism".  We looked at the growth of Christianity in Singapore, especially amongst the Indian Christians and saw where the need really lies. It was very interactive and many ideas were shared.  Next week we will continue with Part 2 and we will see "How we can evangelise in this 21st Century".

Dear prayer partners and sponsors,   As you are aware at the end of last year, we launched into some of the unreached tribal villages in the mountains in Rayagada, Odisha. I am delighted to inform you that the work has taken root and people are coming to accept the Lord in some of these villages. Don’t forget these people are very staunch in their religious beliefs and it is indeed the work of the Holy Spirit that they have allowed us into their villages.   Utesi Village   These young people from Utesi have accepted the Lord and they joined our PEC combined revival service in another town In Odisha This is Utesi village.

The village people are very happy to see the work and are thankful that PEC workers are helping their children. ...

Matthew 22:34-46 – Loving God….loving my neighbour

Bible scholars tell us that Moses gave the children of Israel 613 laws. These laws range from the worship of God, the temple ceremonies, even to the settlement of disputes amongst neighbours. Because there were so many laws, they was always a dispute amongst the religious teachers as to which of these is the most important. To some keeping the Sabbath was important while to others the sacrifices were non-negotiable. In answering the questioner, Jesus not only succinctly condensed the laws into two fundamental categories: Love God with your total being and love your neighbour as yourself, He also showed what the true spirit of law is.   If you notice in the text the Pharisee,  an expert in the law , asked Jesus the question not because he was sincerely seeking an answer but rather to put Jesus into a test or a trap. And the reason for doing so was because to the Pharisee, keeping the law was the way to find favour with God and they worked diligently at it. They kept the Sa...

The Lord Almighty is with us;

Psalms 46:11 -The  Lord  Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. The  description  in Psalms 46 is  very  real in today's context. Nations are in uproar as we see the  destruction  unfolding in Ukraine. The earth seems to be giving way  due  to the effects of the  pandemic and climate change. Economies are on a spiralling descend. Some stock exchanges are seeing a terrible lost in revenue. The many sanctions by the world leaders only propel the enemy to further achieve his selfish ambitions.  Fear, hopelessness and despair are the common breaking news of the mainstream media.  Some are even suggesting that WW III is on the horizon. Yet in the midst of all this uncertainty the scriptures give us hope. Hope not in the things of this world bur on God the Lord God Almighty. Every verse in this Psalms speaks of how God intervenes into human spheres, especially in ...
