Church Camp - Port Dickson

Jeya and  I were invited to speak at City Tabernacle  KL Church Camp in Port Dickson from 9-11 Feb. We decided to drive up this time and thank God there was no traffic jam at the causeway. The drive was pretty smooth and pleasant and we arrived at the Methodist Centre, PD,  on good time.

The theme of the camp was Living Epistles based on 2 Cor 3:2-3. We were greeted by the camp organising committee and by Senior Pastor Arnold Rajan and his wife Pst Santanna. Their son, Pst Matthias, was the one who invited us for the camp. He heard me during one of the pastors conference we spoke at in KL, two years ago. A young man with great potential and serves God with great humility, a quality much lacking in many pastors today.

I was deeply impressed by the exceptional hospitality extended by the people. Approximately 180 individuals attended the camp, the majority of whom were young adults. I was pleasantly surprised by their high level of education and technological proficiency, which rivals, if not surpasses, that of many churches in Singapore. The camp's organization was outstanding, leaving me genuinely amazed by the meticulous planning and execution. Even the young were so respectful and courteous. Almost everyone was offering to carry our luggages. 

City Tabernacle KL has successfully planted five branch churches across Malaysia, all of which were represented at the camp. I conducted three sessions where the Spirit of the Lord moved powerfully. The translators, who were young and highly fluent in both English and Tamil, did an exceptional job.

During the final service, many campers came forward, kneeling in God’s presence, seeking a personal encounter with the Lord. We could sense the tangible presence of God in the house. I was profoundly grateful to witness how God moved throughout the camp. 

Many participants shared how they were blessed by the sessions and how the Lord touched them in a truly remarkable way. This church wants to plant churches in all the states in Malaysia. Senior Pastor Arnold Rajan and his wife Pst Santanna have such humble spirit and have done much for the Kingdom. Truly remarkable servants of God.

We were refreshed and recharged after the camp. Returned home sagely with great memories and motivated to do more for the Kingdom. I am really thankful to the Lord to be a small instrument in His hands to impact these people for His Kingdom. To God be the glory.

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...
