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.

"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
