Another 2 church dedications

After a heartly breakfast, we left for another church dedication. It was about 2 and a half hrs drive from our hotel. 


This was a small church in Thadikalapudi station Cheemalapadu village, Khammam District. We had to rush as another church was waiting for us. The pastor here is Pst Moses. Both he and his wife have been working here for some time and God is blessing them with results.


The next church dedication was about two hours away. This will be PEC’s 189th church building in the mission field. This new church is in Reddigudem village in APand and is sponsored by Bro Vino and family. We are indeed thankful to the Lord for committed members in PEC who have a burden for the Great Commission. 

 

By the time we reached the place it was about 2:30PM and the people had not taken their lunch. They had been waiting for more than three hours. Despite the long wait, they were very eager to hear the Word and they all came forward for prayer after the meeting. Lunch was secondary. You hardly see such kind of passion in many  of our first world countries. 



That evening we arrived at Nagarjune Sagar. We visited a children’s Home in that place. This morning Home is run by a couple from the Banjara tribe and have been affiliated with us for some time. They have been reaching out to the nearby villages and have started two outreach works. In these villages they have seen many orphans neglected by the extended families and this couple took them under their care. They are providing for them necessities and education in the government school. A lot of hard work and many needs.

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

Fare-thee-well my friend, Rev James Ng - A tribute

Image
I t was with deep sadness that we bade farewell to another of God's General, Rev James Ng. But we don't grieve like the rest of the world because of the hope we have in Christ Jesus. We will meet him soon at the Master's feet. To me , he was more than a friend. A true brother in Christ. He was one of the pillars of our Missions work in Asia. A true missionary, teacher, philantrophist and servant with a devoted passion for His Master.  I met James in 2010, when he attended the Haggai Area Seminar, held in RELC. He was introduced to me by our dear friend, Sis Doreen Lim and her husband Dr Lim. Thereafter we became good friends and he became acquainted with our mission work. He was a regular on many of those trips. He preached and taught the Word to many church planters and congregations. It was not easy for him, with all his medical conditions. There were times when we had to travel long hours on the road, up the mountains, down the valleys, cross rivers, and stay in uncomfor
