Historic trip to Medan

Image
Really excited to go on this trip. I am already checked in and am at the waiting area for departure. We will be inaugurating out first Church Planters' Training Program in Medan. This program is sponsored by Calvary Church, Colombo, Sri Lanka. God has opened another new door for us to reach the unreached. These church planters will undergo six months of training and will be deployed to many unreached areas in Indonesia. We need sponsors to support these church planters at least for a period of three years. I know the Lord will provide. I will also be conducting Equip Training Program for pastors and leaders. Looking forward to meeting friends in Medan again.

Just hurt

" 
It is doubtful that God can use any man greatly until he has hurt him deeply" - AW Tozer Thought provoking statement but quite difficult to accept. Why would God do that? Does He enjoy people getting hurt by these hurts. Talk about hurts. Have been through some lately and from the most unexpected people. Not that I am saint but when truth has been compromised and you are not allowed to defend yourself. When you are literally humiliated by the young, the wounds can be deep. But they too must have been hurt deeply, or else the torment would have been subdued.  Pause Look at the saints in the Bible: Joseph was falsely accused yet here maned faithful Moses was unjustly challenged but He remained quiet David had to run into hiding for doing the right things Jesus was mocked, beaten, nailed and killed by Hs own creation. What was the reaction fo the saints?  Jesus -  Father forgive them for they do not kno...

Seek Him

Psalms 34:4-7   - I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant;  their faces are never covered with shame. This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;  he saved him out of all his troubles.The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. Psalmist outlines five blessings that comes when we seek the Lord. God answers - He is a prayer answering God. We serve a living God. He answers His people. When we have a walking relationship with God we can hear Him speak to us through His Holy Spirit.  Jer  33:3 -  Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.' God  delivers  - There were many difficult situation that David got himself into. Yet when he called on God, theLord delivered him. Psalms 107:6 -  Then they cried out ...

Sunday service in JAKARTA

Image
This morning I spoke in two services in   Geraja Kristus Yesus, Jamaat Sunter.   on the topic Humility in Worship. This church has a membership of about 1000 people and they run 4 services on Sunday. I believe the Lord spoke to many people today. Although t was a very tradition service, I enjoyed the songs and the order of service.  My interpreter is a young man by the name of Timothy. This man is full of passion and fire for the Lord. Hope to connect with hm in the area of missions. I was blessed to be there and to encourage them in the area of church planting and missions. Just amazed how God is leading us to new territories and places, we never imagined will be. I believe greater things are in store. We are now checked in waiting for our departure back to Singapore. Thank you Jesus.

Trip to Jakarta

Image
Jeya and I are at the waiting area in Terminal 4, waiting for our departure to Jakarta. Through a participant in HI, I have been invited to speak on missions and also two services on Sunday morning. More than a month of preparation has gone for these meetings.  Bro Happy, yes a strange name, a good man with a passionate heart. He wants his church to hear about the great commission and the title of the seminar is "Mission Possible". Great expectations. Only the Holy Spirit can fill. Praying that the participants who will come, will be impacted with the Word of God, their eyes will be opened to see the fields, "ripe for harvest". Thanking God for another opportunity to serve with Jena in the new field. To God be the glory.

Wilderness experiences

Jeya spoke in the morning service today. She spoke on the wilderness experiences that we often go through in life. She spoke on the life of Joseph. Joseph went through four wilderness experiences in his life: The pit experiecne The slave experience The prison experience  The place experience Each time God was moulding his character and sharpening his spiritual gifts and preparing him for greater things. In all these experiences God was with him. One has to submit and realize who we are in Christ Jesus and that all things will work for our good. Wait patiently. Don't retaliate. Let God do His work and the results will be tremendous. I was almost at tears. The message spoke directly to me. I needed it badly. Thank you Jesus.
