In His Time.......... with P.Ramachandran

" There is a hidden chapter of Jimmy Carter's life that no history textbook has ever done full justice to, and once you understand it, you will see the 39th President of the United States in an entirely different light.  When Jimmy and Rosalynn returned home to Plains, Georgia in January of 1981 after losing the White House to Ronald Reagan, they did something that quietly revealed everything about who they were. Plains Baptist Church, the congregation they had belonged to their entire lives, had spent years refusing to admit Black members. A group of 29 members had broken away and founded Maranatha Baptist Church on a foundation of racial integration, and without a moment's hesitation, the Carters walked through those doors on their very first Sunday back in town and never looked back. Jimmy Carter then did something that no former president in American history had ever done. He began teaching Sunday school every other week to whoever showed up, and for the next four deca...

  Today we had the joy of inaugurating another   Church Planters (CP) Training Program   at Stuti Prasana Church in Kathmandu. This training initiative will be conducted by   Bro. Noel Thapa   and   Pastor Amrit , who will be guiding and mentoring the students throughout the program. We are expecting  about 12 students  to take part in this three-month   training program , where they will be equipped with biblical teaching, practical ministry skills, and a deeper understanding of the mission of the Church. Our prayer is that these trainees will be raised up as faithful workers who will go on to plant churches and serve communities across the region. During the inauguration,  Pastor Ashraf  from Pakistan shared the Word of God and encouraged the students to remain committed to the calling of the  Great Commission . Although I was in transit at Vancouver Airport, I was grateful to be able to briefly join the session online and wi...

This morning we attended the service at 83th Street. The Church in the City. They use the  Congregation Ramath Orah  synagogue for their service. A beautiful architecture. The church was filled, mostly young people. What a joy to see for a change.  The text was taken from John 14:1-6. The speaker focused on two points.  Life with Jesus is a Relationship not a Religion Life with Jesus is meant to be a blessing  We were blessed. This evening ee make our way back to Singapore. God willing we will reach Changi Airpot okn 17 Jan @ 0700 hrs.

Praise the Lord, Sir. Today in Bondli Dangria village, another new family accepted Jesus as their personal Saviour. A young man who had been sick for one month and was bedridden was supposed to be taken for cremation this morning. However, after we prayed for him, he was instantly healed. The villagers said they had been waiting for the night to pass, and the next morning they planned to take him to the cremation ground. The whole village was surprised to witness this miracle, and many people were shouting, “Victory to Jesus!” This is the same village (Bondli) that we were planning to visit by bike earlier, but we had to return home because the road work was not completed. It is also the same village that Rev. Albert and Sister Josephine had previously visited. We are greatly thankful to God and to you, Sir, for always keeping us in your precious prayers. Thank you for continually praying for God’s ministry in Odisha. Thank you, Sir. Bishop Anjan

  This morning we left home early to attend the 9:30 AM service at   St. Paul's Bloor Street Anglican Church   in downtown   Toronto . However, along the highway we encountered an unusually heavy traffic jam, something quite unexpected on a Sunday morning. For more than an hour, traffic barely moved. Soon we learned the reason. Someone was attempting to jump from an overhead bridge, and the police had closed the highway while they tried to dissuade him. Officers walked along the line of cars explaining the situation. One impatient driver asked whether at least one lane could be opened so traffic could proceed. The officer responded calmly but firmly:  they were trying to save a life, and everything else was of lesser priority.  He asked everyone for patience. That statement stayed with me.  We are trying to save a life, and everything else takes less priority.  In that moment, the words echoed something far deeper, the urgency of the mission entru...

While transiting to Toronto, Canada, we had a free day in Tokyo. That’s why the tickets were cheaper tham the usual. We arrived Haneda about 6 AM. The weather was cold with temperatures at 5 deg C. Took a bus to visit the Skytree tower in Sumida City.  Breakfast was at McDonalds. 😀 I know… The weather was foggy and we could not see much from the Skytree at 450 meters high. But it was a good experience standing above the clouds. We spent the afternoon at  Sibuya. Like two kids, we walked around, the streets trying all the ‘sweet stuff’ we will avoid in Spore. Watched the famous reputed crossing. But it was raining and people were in their umbrellas. People here do not walk, they literally run-walk, if there is such a word.  But I found the people friendly and obliging. Many seem to be able to speak English. That made traveling much easier. We took the bus and retuned to Haneda Airport for our connection to Toronto. 

  This morning I was at CCS. good to be back in this church who have now become so familiar with me. I spike on David’s Pit Experiences-and the response was good. One brother said that the message encouraged and  strengthened many as they were grieving the death of  a faithful church member. I was glad to be an instrument in God’s hands. To God be the glory
