Christmas celebration in PEC NE India

The following report was submitted by Bishop Samuel Sharma, PEC Coordinator from NE India. 

On 23rd December  2023, we invited all the village people along with the sewing ladies and Sunday school children at PEC campus Dalsingpara. The crowd was beyond our expectations. More than 400 people attended and 360 were hindu and buddhist only. ❤️

During the celebration, the hindu children and women danced and celebrated Jesus which never happened before in the history of that village. 

There was also a song item presented by the ladies who attend our sewing class programs. They are still pre-beleivers. (This is a very effect way to built rapport with the community who had been very hostile to Christianity. Because of this program, we are now welcomed into the nearby villages.)

Most importantly all the people heard about the good news of the birth of our Lord and saviour. 

We also distributed 50 warm blankets for the elderly people who were 70 years and above. Gifts for children are given and there were more than 100 children who received Christmas gifts 

Special thanks to Bro Gaddiel who sponsored this event. 🙏

By this programme, we come to know that the harvest is ready and we need to step in with boldness and harvest the field.

We always thank PEC and all the team who are  praying and giving for ministry. Great will be the rewards as we serve Him together with hands and hearts.

Thank you sir Rama and  madam Jeya for all you are doing from there.

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
