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

Praise God for the opportunity to facilitate the subject Biblical Mandate at the Mid Pacific Center. 21 participants from 15 different countries attended the session. The sessions went on well by the grace of God and the Spirit of God ministered to the participants in a very wonderful way. Everyone made a commitment to fulfill the Great Commission. Some came for personal prayer to resolve issues of the heart. Praise God . Prof Arthur and his wife were indeed gracious and the fellowship over lunch revealed their heart and passion for God. A mentor indeed. Meeting and watching the support staff in action was an encouragement. Old ties were renewed and new ones established. It was also a wonderful privilege to speak to the volunteers. Words are insufficient to describe their sacrifices for the Lord and they have indeed been the crucial link in the lives of the participants. Larry and Vel are simply awesome, saints with great passion and tender hearts. Carl has been a wonderful brother wit...

From 17 - 27 Nov I will be away, making another journey to Maui, this time to facilitate on the subject of Mandate. Please pray for God's wisdom and strength during these trying times to be an effective instrument in the Master's hands. Please pray for all the participants that they will be ministered to by the Holy Spirit in a powerful way and will respond to the Great Commission.

Friends the time is right to move into this new horizon. God is leading us to see that this takes effect. Pst Samuel Sharma is our key coordinator in Bhutan. He is also an alumni of HI and we are praying to raise support for 5 Church planters beginning Jan next year. You can be part of this plan by committing to support at least one planter with a sum of $70 (Sing) per month for a period of one year. This amount is definitely insufficient but it will go a long way in providing some form of support. I will make sure you are regularly updated. We have built a training centre near the Bhutan border to train church planters who are willing to go into this difficult terrain. God willing another batch will be train in Jan/Feb 2010. Preparations are underway. I will be there for the graduation and to take some sessions on Biblical Mandate. Rise up to the challenge to fulfill the great commission. Luke10:2 - He said , "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the ...

Last week we saw that we need to pray because Jesus himself prayed. If the master needed to be in communion with the Father, if He needed to hear the voice of God the first thing in the day, how much more we need to do the same. Jesus always led by example and we do well to follow His example and walk in His steps.You will notice that the disciples came to Jesus in Luke 11 and asked him to teach them how to pray. Don't the disciples know how to pray? Every Jew is taught the Prayer of Moses and memorises portions of the Torah by the time he reaches the age of Bar Mitzvah. Why then the request, "Teach us to pray" They must have noticed that the way Jesus prayed was different, He addressed God as Father when the Jews dared not even mention the name of God. How often have you read in the Old Testament where God was addressed as Father? But Jesus addressed God as "Abba"...Daddy. In fact Jesus prayed with such authority and hence the request, "Teach us to pray li...

By God's grace, we were able to send some money to help Christians who suffered persecution at the hands of the militants.

The distribution of these packets under the banner of PEC Singapore Flood Relief . Later distribution was done to to other affected areas.

The District Collector have requested that the NGOs to see that the children get the notebooks as the Govt is providing the text books. We did visit different parts of the town that is affected by the flood and foun...

We must have heard so many sermons on prayer. We may even have preached sermons on prayer. But do we pray ? We can know all about the mechanics and theology of prayer but until and unless we learn to wait on God in pray, all our christian walk will only be a paper exercise. Remember when Samuel heard the voice of God, he ran to Eli. Eli was able to explain to Samuel what to do, how to respond, sensing it was God speaking but he himself did not hear God. How true it is many times in our own lives, we can tell all about prayer but never experience the power and the personal relationship that prayer affords. Why pray? a. Jesus himself prayed. In Mark 1:35 - Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed . The Lord always led by example. Even in prayer, He sets the example by having a quiet time with God. It is always good to start the day with God. A set time and a set place. You see, Jesus left the house ...
