15th Anniversary - PEC Odisha

Today, church planters and their wives celebrated PEC's mission work in Odisha for the last 15 years. I wished I was there. It was time to thank God for His faithfulness, without which nothing would have been accomplished. I am indeed grateful to Bishop Anjan and his team for the amazing work they have done. PEC is now one of the established mission organisation in Odisha, reaching the unreached for the Lord and on the way to end gospel poverty in this difficult state.

There had been many challenges but "with Christ in the vessel, we can smile through the storm".

Hundreds of churches have been planted, thousands ushered into the kingdom of God.

I am humbled by this celebration and am thankful to everyone who played a part, sponsored, prayed and stood with us through this momentous journey.

To God alone be all the glory.

Note. from Bishop Anjan

Dear Sir,

15th anniversary of praise Evangelical Church Odisha. 

Lots of thanks to our dear sir Ramachandran . 

Thank you so much sir for your supported your leadership, thank you for always keeping us in prayer. 

Thank you for setting the right example for us. You showed us what servant leader means and your life is a big encouragement for all of us.

Within this 15 years we have seen so many ups and downs in the ministry, many left us for no reason. Pastors were threaten and  beaten, many churches were destroyed in many different places in Odisha. But by the grace of God and through your prayer we are able to continue PEC's ministry here in Odisha. 

We are very much thankful to you dear sir for always standing with us in every situation in our personal & ministerial lives. Thank you for you counsel and guidance and the wisdom you shared with us.

We are also thankful to PEC Singapore for their love and support. 

Thank you so much sir for your love and concern.

On behalf of everyone in PEC's family in Odisha

Remembering Sis Jenima Sharma - A tribute

Image
Sis Jenima went to be with the Lord on 14 Nov 2024, after battling with  Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) for some time.  This is our tribute to her. It was in 2008, when I first met Sis Jenima, the wife of our Bishop Samuel Sharma. It was during our first trip to NE India, Jaigaon in particular. We were there to conduct a pastors' conference at the bidding of Bishop Samuel who had attended the Haggai Leaders' Experience in Singapore a few months earlier. This was the beginning. She was demure, quiet, hardly spoke a word in English. But she was extremely hospitable and genuinely kind. At that time they lived in a very simple house, with hardly any furnishing, all because of the call of God upon her life to serve the Master.  But one thing was certain. She loved the Lord, her husband and her two young children. She always wanted them to serve the Lord all their lives. She was a remarkable woman whose life reflected the love and grace of God in every aspect.  He...

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...
