Short trip to Klang

Jeya and I went to Klang, Malaysia, from 1-3 Apr. The main purpose of the visit to was see Sis Usha, Pst Pathi's wife, who had a serious accident at home and underwent a major head surgery.

As usual Pst Stephen Chandran and his wife Flora came to pick us from the airport, even though we arrived past 10:00PM. We have become like family over the years and was indeed a joy to see them again. 

On 2 Apr morning, we visited Sis Usha. Pst Pathi is the Missions Pastor of HighPointe Life and we have partnered together on number of occasions in the mission field. Both husband and wife are truly committed to the Lord and to His Kingdom. Both have been with us on missions trips and they themselves are overseeing a big church planting movement in India. 

Sis Usha is indeed a walking miracle. By God's grace, she is recovering well, she is able to recognised and remember a lot of things and on the road to full recovery. Anyone in the medical field will tell you that this is indeed a miracle. We are indeed thankful to the Lord for answering the prayer of His saints.

We spent a lot of time with Pst Chandran and Flora. They were indeed a blessing and encouragement to us in this time of many challenges. God indeed sends His ravens at the right time. We were blessed to know that we are not alone in this warfare. 

Yesterday evening we had dinner with the pastors and their wives in HighPoine life. Pst Rene and his wife Suan Sim. had graciously  opened their  home for the gathering. We had a wonderful time of sharing of the goodness of God and the work in the mission field. Our hearts were much lifted after speaking to like minded people who shared the same vision, same focus and on the same page for the Kingdom. 

I am reminded of Malachi 3:16, which the Message Bible beautifully expresses:

"Then those whose lives honored God got together and talked it over. God saw what they were doing and listened in. A book was opened in God’s presence, and minutes were taken of the meeting, with the names of the God-fearers written down—all the names of those who honored God’s name."

This verse paints a powerful picture of God’s delight in the conversations of His people. When believers gather to speak about Him, He listens attentively, values their words, and even records their names in His presence. It is a reminder that every discussion about God, every testimony shared, and every word spoken in faith matters to Him.

This morning we had breakfast with Pst Chandran and Flora at the Yakun Kaya Toast, KLIA International terminal 1, before we headed home.

God is good.

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...
