Another historic moment for PEC Missions

By the Grace of God, today we witnessed the graduation of the 4th batch of church planters. 23 students graduated from this three months CP training course. Most of the lessons were done by zoom, while some subjects were conducted on site.

What was historic about this is that we conducted the course simultaneously from two different sites, one at Kathmandu and the other at Bardiya, 550 km from Kathmandu. I had visited theses places last year in Nov and we coordinated this joint effort, because the need for CP training was great in Nepal. There were some technical difficulties during the facilitation but the Lord helped us through and we were able to achieve our objectives.

I thank God for the partnership with Dr Mike Ong and Pst Prem, founder of Zion Ecclesia group of churches,  who helped coordinate this effort. I am also grateful to our team of facilitators who took the time and effort to teach, train and impact these students. Pst Amrit deserves double honour for being, the "Principal", in charge of the ground logistics  and coordinating the efforts for both the group. This is in addition to his other responsibilities of being a pastor and running the underprivileged girls' home. He was also the spiritual counsellor for the group in Kathmandu.

The feedback received from the students was very encouraging. In fact some said that this training must be extended to all of Nepal.

God is doing amazing things though our ministry in Asia. Many churches will be planted by these graduates in the days to come. We thank the Lord for this opportunity to serve Him together with like minded people in the body of Christ. 

And if the Lord prompts you to partner with us in this ministry, please do contact me.

May the name of Jesus alone be exalted in all our endeavours. To God be the glory.

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
