In His Time.......... with P.Ramachandran

  It is often said that Jesus is the reason for the Christmas celebration. And very much true.  But the real real for Christmas is "WE".  Christmas is always tied to the cross. Three scriptures amply this facts. Isaiah 53:6 - We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Ephesians 1:7 - He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. And as we  celebrate this wonderful miracle where "God became man", let's not forget the true meaning of Christmas.  The world needs to know the redeemer. May the Lord bless you and your family.

  The following report is from our coordinator Bishop Anjan in Odisha. "Praise the Lord sir This is Utesi. Since last year by the grace of God & through your prayer we are privileged to celebrate Christmas in this village. This is one of the hard grounds, even though we regularly praying & sharing the gospel to this villagers get there is no fruits of our labour. But people of this village happily accepting us & sharing all their problems & prayer requests. We hopefully expecting God to do some miracle to change the hearts of this Dangriakond tribe people. Like last year all villagers join in this Christmas celebration & we have had prepared feast for them . After this we invited them to have their cultural dance along with us  In this way we celebrated Christmas in Utesi village .  We are really so thankful to PEC Singapore for your unfailing love & support which a great help for us to still reach so many ingnored & unreached tribal Dangriakond.      

So happy to read this report from Bishop Anjan. “Pre-Christmas celebration at Gondli village in the mountains in Odisha. Last month on 25th Nov, we have  baptised  4 people from this village & this became a big issue & the brother who is staying over there was asked to stop sharing gospel & leave the village. We had been requested to PEC Singapore church people to pray earnestly for this situation. God answered our prayer so wonderfully in helping us to continue the project work in this village. We are running a tuition centre in this village. Yesterday by the grace of God we celebrated pre-Christmas with the villagers, many of them happily joined in this program & took part of the feast too.       Till yesterday in the history of Dangriakand tribe no other team has celebrated Christmas in this way.            God has wonderfully opened way for us to reach the unreached Dangriakond tribe in Rayagada, Odisha. I am proud of Praise Evangelical Church Singapore which takes

  It's the time of the year when we remember the birth of our Lord in this earth. And what better way to do it than by spreading the cheer of the good news to those who have not heard. PEC Odisha celebrated the event by hosting a  celebration  and inviting many non christians to come. Many of them attend the celebration and heard the good news.  Many song and dance items were in the program and everyone was blessed, especially with the sharing of the Word. To God be the Glory

This is probably my last overseas mission trip for the year 2022. But I must say this is one of the best trips I have had in this year.  The purpose of this trip was to see the possibility of a partnership between HighPointe Life in Klang and Elim Kiros in Berastagi in starting a CP training program in Berastagi. Gaddiel  and I from PEC, together with Pst Stephen and Bro Inderjit from HighPint Life went on this trip for this venture. We rendezvoused  at Kuala Namu Airport in Medan on 2 Dec and from there took a 3 and half hour drive to Berastagi. This is my first time trying out the van ride. It was cramped and squeezy but we managed to reach our destination without any physical complication🤣. Next time we will look for other means.🤔 We were hosted by Pst Ezra and his niece Flora at Berastagi. Pst Ezra is the senior pastor of this church which has about 400 members and a number of outreach work in different places. I have known Pst Ezra for many years since the time he was in Singapo
