Christmas celebration with children in Siliguri, NE India

Christmas Celebration Report – Siliguri Village

Date: 22 December
Location: Siliguri (Village Tuition Centres)
Reported by: Ps Abishek

On 22 December, we joyfully celebrated Christmas with children from several surrounding villages in Siliguri. Many of these children come from non-Christian backgrounds and regularly attend our tuition centre, where they receive academic support, care, and encouragement throughout the year.

The celebration was filled with joy and meaningful engagement. The children participated enthusiastically in songs, games, and activities, creating an atmosphere of excitement and warmth. A highlight of the programme was the story of Christmas, where the true meaning of Christ’s birth was shared in a simple and relatable way. For many of the children, this was their first opportunity to hear the Christmas message explained with love and clarity.


Following the programme, all the children were served a special Christmas dinner, which they enjoyed greatly. The shared meal was a tangible expression of love and hospitality, and it brought smiles and gratitude from every child present.

This event was not only a celebration but also an opportunity to build relationships, sow seeds of faith, and demonstrate Christ’s love through action. We are thankful for the openness of the children and their families, and we continue to pray that the message shared will bear fruit in their lives.

We would like to extend our special thanks to our sponsor, whose generous support made this event possible. Your partnership enabled us to serve these children, share the message of Christmas, and bless them in a meaningful way.

We praise God for a joyful and impactful celebration and look forward to continuing this work among the children and communities in Siliguri.

Remembering Uncle Thomas Malcolm Ranjore : 1940- 2025

Image
It was with great sadness that I received the news of Uncle Thomas Malcolm Ranjore’s passing on the 20th of June, at the age of 84.  Though our hearts grieve, we do not mourn as those without hope.  As Psalm 116:15  reminds us: “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His faithful servants.” Uncle Malcolm (as he was fondly called) was truly one of God’s faithful servants, a man whose life was marked by worship, prayer, evangelism, generosity, and love for both God and people. I remember not just someone who lived long, but someone who lived well, for the glory of God. A man of worship One thing that stands out in his life is that Uncle Malcolm was a gifted musician. He played the violin not as a performer, but as a worshipper. When he played, it was as if heaven drew near. His music ushered in the presence of God, just like the Levites in the Old Testament, who ministered before the Lord with stringed instruments. 1 Chronicles 25:6 ...

God’s Faithfulness in Our Nation - Blessed National Day Singapore

Image
Text:   “The Lord did not set His affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the Lord loved you and kept the oath He swore to your ancestors…”  –  Deuteronomy 7:7–8   When God chose Israel, it was not because of their size, power, or wealth. In fact, they were a small, vulnerable nation surrounded by mighty empires. Yet God’s choice was based solely on His love and covenant faithfulness.   Moses spoke these words to Israel, he was reminding them of an important truth:   Their survival and success  When  were not because of their strength, resources, or wisdom — but because of God’s faithfulness and mercy.   Singapore’s story mirrors this in remarkable ways. In 1965, we were a tiny island with no natural resources, no hinterland, and little global influence. Kicked out of Malaysia, many wondered if we could even survive. By every human calculatio...

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...
