O... The Little Blessings...

Don't you just hate it when you get car trouble? The Dream Machine was acting up and apparently she picked up a little hick up! I was a little stressed because I can barely afford to keep the thing. I'm not complaining though. I go home to a wonderful house with 3 course meals (and more if you are a member of PMC! The hospitality and good food never cease here!). Life is pretty good. I thought that if God really wants me to keep this thing, he'll meet the need for me.

So some good friends decided to come in and give a hand. They heard the hick up and encouraged me to check out their mechanics to get it done. I wasn't to enthused because I thought it would cost me more than I can afford. I told my buddies that if I ignore the problem, it could go away...

Well, one of my bud's Dav called me up in the morning and took a look at the Machine. He put some soap on the belt and said that it needs to be changed. We went to the store to buy the part and then went to his personal mechanic. He talked with the guy and you wouldn't beleive it! I would get hosed $70-$100 in most places but this guy only charged me $11.60 for labor and the part was about $20. YEEH HAAaaaa!

Thank you Lord for God friends and your blessed provision. He gave it to me and will always provide. Thanks again Lord for good friends. What was really cool is that I had another friend offer to cover the cost before I even had it checked out. God bless the good friends in life. As most of you know, I was quite frusterated a few weeks ago and even to the point of snapping in anger... Imagine if I snapped at them in anger. Glad, I didn't give in to the flesh! I would have lost some mayjor, cool friends.

Until next time!

Christmas Again!

Here is the worship team packing a whole lotta of praise to the Savior! The team threw in the manger and a backdrop of London to spice it up a abit. This was quite a memorable event! Hope to see you their next year if you can!

God bless you all!

Happy New Year!

Encore!

Oh, I forgot to tell you. We had an encore presentation of that ol' Christmas Drama we did awhile ago. I don't know what is wrong with the focus but anywho, nearly 400 friends came along to be apart of the festivities. This may seem like a small feet but it isn't when you are trying to reach a largely untouched people group for the Gospel. The people liked it so much that they asked to see it again. It was a priveledge and an honor to be asked to do it one more time on the day we celebrate Jesus' birthday, Christmas! There were some folks who hadn't seen it before so we added a couple of new bits to it and fired it away. This time we did it at home in DPC.

The responce was amazing! The humor washed well with our North Indian audience and I'm sure God was please with it above all. He is our real audience! It had comedy, romance and even some action! Thanks again for praying and encouraging us along the way. We had this idea running for awhile but didn't know how to do it. It was an exhilerating experience! I have learned so much and now all I can do is reflect on the adventure. Some of us discovered new gifts and talents along the way. It was awesome!

The team and I want to dream it all up again and come up with something grander. You might have read that before but we're telling you again because we really mean it. So, if you are in the neighborhood come on by and see what we're doing! Join in as a co laborer... Take the reigns and serve Jesus with whatever talent and willingness you can muster. Let's glorify him together! Let us praise His name. Let us meet Him!

Until next time!

Ta ta for now!

Taxi!

Here are some of our reporters, sound and visual tech (your fired... JUST KIDDING!), and kindred spirit! This taxi has got front wheel drive, lightable headlights (real ones really!) and is fully PMC liscenced! It is true, Shar Ru Jeet actually drove in it! Can you believe it!

And you know what? Biont volunteered to build it for us! We didn't ask and he just went ahead and made one anyway! That is one reason why I call him Superman! He is Super! Isn't God so good? I just love him and Biont as well. Thanks again!

Perspective shots!

Okay, so the picturs still don't do the backdrops justice. I guess you'll have to come down to our next production. It will probaly be at our PMC Convention or elsewhere but I'll keep you posted! Thanks again Alex and Biont! You are such and inspiration! And thanks to all the children, youth, parents and alike who went the extra mile to support this vision. God bless you all!

Christmas Drama Photo Gallery!

Here are a couple of our backdrops. The camera just doesn't do them justice. Under the right lights and position, they look amazzing. Alex (the creative genius) and Biont (Superman) put their heads together to come up with these mamoth sized backdrops! They were BIG! And Alex and team and Biont (worked alone) worked tirelessly for days on end to get these backdrops on the go! Isn't the gifts God gives us amazing? And it was because you prayed! They are lot bigger than they look. I'll get some perspective shots.

A Million Thanks

I just want to thank you all for your prayers for the PMC drama. The team has just come off months of rehersal, recording and the rest. We are in anti-climax now. Funny all this time and energy, prayer and effort to do a 15 min shin dig is done! The drama was viewed as supurb by many critics (or atleast the ones that count). The Pharisees were offended and the wicked gnashed their teeth and the righteous rejoiced, so we couldn't be happier!

We even received a million compliments and commendations but not the glory. That alone belongs to God. Now our hero Shar Ru Jeet will go into the PMC Hall of Fame with Baba Ji, Mr. Cow, Kuhlfi girl, B'oprah B'infrey, King Herod and the rest. This production was the most nerve racking and the biggest one we had done yet. I was shaking and our actors were nervous and it was quite a buzz! It will be a memorable one... Things went really well but you know what???

We know we can do even better. The team and I had a chance to witness the drama on video and you wouldn't believe how many mistakes we picked up... ha ha! Some were fixable and others were things that seem beyond our control but we know God can change that! We beleive that this one was a teaching lesson and an oppourtunity for God to wet our appetites for something greater. We want to take on a new task, a bigger dream, a grander vision, a bolder idea! We are not sure what it is yet but God will tell us! Will you continue to pray for us? We want to master our craft and become better at what we do! We want offer God our best because He offered his best to us. He offered Jesus!

Once again a million thanks for your millions of compliments and all your prayers!

Need Prayer Pt 2

Don't mind the mess my dear friends, this is the dungeon occupied by none other than my bro. Trust me, my room is even worse!

Just a quick prayer request... As most of you know, I'm not a techno sapien. I don't know the first thing about computers but I know that they give me alot of hassle at times!

As you can see, the flesh was trying to take over but the Spirit overcame. One of the deeds of the flesh or sinful nature are outbursts of anger (Galations 5:20)! And if we sow in the flesh we will reap destruction (Galations 6:8).

I felt an overwhelming tendency to destroy this thing but I managed to crucify and put to death those evil deeds.

What was the reason for the feeling angry, you may be asking? Well, me and the team have been working tirelessly on this church video clip and the audio bits are not coming to place. Not to mention some video parts where the pixel look huge! I also couldn't import some valuable footage brought in by some of our hardworking anonymous team members! It made me MAD!

I have to say that I need help as always! I need the Savior. I can't do it without Him! Giving into anger will only make things worse! It isn't practical right now. It can even bring more pain and hurt to the people around me! Just read the Proverbes:

" A wrathful man stirs up strife, But he who is slow to anger allays contention." (Proverbs 15:18)

"An offended brother is more unyielding than a fortified city,
and disputes are like the barred gates of a citadel." (Proverbs 18:19)

But peace and self control is a fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galations 5:22-23)! I need those right now! Even look what the Proverbs has to say:

" He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city." (Proverbs 16:32)"

Lord, I need you! Please help me! I can't do it on my own. I'm need you! I want to give you the best! Give me more grace in dealing with these kinds of situations! I don't want to give in to this anger especially if it makes me loose my love for you or my neighbor! I need you!

Winter Wonderland

I enjoy taking photos so here are a few more! I hope you like them as much as I do!

Wow, look at the snow! But there is more!

Thanks Alex

Thank you Alex!

Once again you have never seized to bring that wow factor in the Church. You are a creative genius and you have exceeded the call time and time again. Thanks for bringing life and joy and strength to this work. I know God will bless you more than you can imagine

Once again, thanks Alex!

Pray for us!

Hello, dear Friends,

What you are looking at is our most ambitious work yet! I just wanted to post this prayer request. We are doing a little mini movie for our annual PMC Christmas Event. It is beyond our means to do and quite frankly, some of us are really stressed. We are doing some things we have never done before (like Video editing, singing, acting)! This is the biggest faith undertaking for this event for any of us! So please pray for us.

We just want people to get the message of Jesus Christ and have a little fun at the same time. We've done this event so many times and now we want to see souls saved and maybe even tickled. We know we are weak, and broken, and that we can't do it in our own strength. It is really beyond us.

The countdown is on and we need help. Will you pray for us? Can you also pray for the people who will see it. We want to lift the name of Jesus? Not the name of our church or pastor or worship team. Just Jesus' please. He has done so much for us so we want to give him a gift for Christmas for a change. We even want to make him laugh a little...

Thanks again!

The Prophetic Ministry

I get a kick out of the prophetic ministry. We recently had our church jammed pack with people ready to hear a prophet speak to edify the body of Christ. The sheep are hungry. They want to know that God is intimately involved in their lives. They can use some encouraging words to keep them going. They want to know what God has in store for them in the future. They can also use some advice to reassure them and put some of their fears at ease. They can use some personal words of hope and peace.

And who can blame them? This life isn't easy and Jesus says that in this world we will have trouble... (John 16:13). The bible even says that those who live a godly life will be persecuted (2 Timothy 3:12). Just look at Pauls life:

"... I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again.

24 Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.

25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea,

26 I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my own countrymen, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false brothers.

27 I have laboured and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked.

28 Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches." (2 Corinthians 11:23:28)

Wow! Who can identify with that these days?

Well anyway, I was thinking of some of the prophets in the Old Testament, specifically Hosea. Now, the prophets were usually people who would express their utterances using symbolic actions. In the case of Hosea, he married a harlot or prostitute. His relationship with Gomer, his unfaithful wife, was a symbol of God's relationship to unfaithful Israel. Israel was caught up forsaking their God for false idols again and was actually described as whoring after idols. Such graphic and maybe even vulgar speech. It is not for the Sunday school, that's for sure. But the Bible never sugar coats sin. Not for a second.

Can you imagine if Hosea came into our churches today? Here he is, marching down the aisle an onto what we westerners call the altar where holy preachers pound their pulpits and pump the congregations pulses. Today Hosea steps in with his immoral and sensual wife. He comes to the pulpit and talks about how his is heart broken because his wife has slept with a bunch of other men. He expresses his greif. We sympathize and mourn and maybe even squeeze out a tear! Than he says that he is actually expressing the heart of God who is mourning over the fact that we forsaked him for sin. We commit spiritual idolatry! Isn't it horrible?

And yet Hosea is still faithful. He could call for divorce but doesn't. He still loves Gomer even when she is unfaithful but he is hurt, even mad, but still remains faithful yesturday, today and forevermore. He will keep his vow and love his unfaithful wife anyway! Sure it hurts, sure he is suffering, sure he feels rejected, alone, broken. How could this happen to him? And yet that what God goes through with us. When we sin and forsake Him and run after other people or things at His expense.

This is the prophetic ministry of Hosea! It is much different than what we might expect? It has more to do with what God is going through than what you are going through. It has to do with God's broken heart! It has to do with God's feelings and hurts and problems. It has to do with God!

Well, I wonder if our modern day prophets would do this for God? I wonder if our churches would make room for Hosea's prophetic words? I wonder if we would allow for his prophetic actions? I wonder... Well, we'll just have to wait and see and dismiss the Sunday school in the meantime.

14 Tests All Leaders Must Face

I'm just loving these new books I'm reading. One of them is called 14 Tests All Leaders Must Face. It is AWESOME! Probaly because I have had to face all the tests I have read so far and it is such a reassurance to know that God has got me on the right path. Isn't it marvelous how He speaks to us? It is great to be reminded that he was with us through all circumstances.

But I wanted to add another test to his book. He, Frank Damazio, mentions the frusteration test! I was thinking of the times when we are faced with obstacles that are far bigger than ourselves. Immediately we want to get frusterated. Especially when we don't know what to do or where to begin. It is trying... But I've seen leaders (I'm not exception) fall into a little trap. They end up taking out their frusteration on people who are trying to help them.

Isn't it funny how we leaders determine the atmosphere of our workplace? I have worked under other leaders who come in with just a rotten attitude. It is even tougher when the team is giving it their all and things are moving forward but their moral is low because the leader is having a mood swing. Than the team ends up feeling discouraged and start to lose their focus, energy and motivation. The quality of output is lessened and they end up fulfilling what the leader most fears.

Well, we know we have fallen in this trap when we start to value the program over the people who are doing their very best. The flesh gives way and you know it when you see: discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy (Galations 5:20-21). And than we end up valueing programs and goals over the most important commandments, ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ (Matthew 22:37-38)

Ouch! I just hate this trap. But we all must face it. And God bless those leaders who can put it all in perspective. Who can see the project and goals and keep them in the context of Matthew 22:37-38. These are the leaders who go the extra mile for those sheep who go the distance for them. They never make anyone feel like they are just being used as a means to and end. They don't take advantage of people's sincerity. These are the leaders who maintain, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control in the midst of all circumstances (Galations 5:22-23). And they do it only when they fully rely on Jesus' and not their own gifts, energy or charisma.

Thank you for making us feel valued! You bring new confidence in us! You build our energy and remind us that faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains (Matthew 17:20). You remind us that nothing is impossible with God (Matthew 19:26). Thank you! Your legacies will never be forgotten!

Divine Appointments

I love this thrilling adventure we call life. I love this walk of faith we have with the creator of time. We go to all sorts of places and hear all sorts of sounds. We catch all kinds of sites and meet all types of people. Speaking of people, I just met someone new in the body of Christ.

So I decided to take on a class on Old Testament because I just love the Bible. But than I was feeling kinda lonely so I decided to pray that God would help me make friends in the class. I'm in a theatre with a couple of hundred students, almost all Christians so it shouldn't be to hard. Low and behold God did nothing less than ansrew my prayer.

This dude comes up beside and plugs in his laptop and so I say, "Hi!"

Well, we started getting into a conversation and you wouldn't believe it. He went to the same Bible College as some of my pastor friends. He even knew them. He also was affiliated with the same denomination as me (not that that matters in our generation anymore). Not only that, but he even plays guitar. I notice he has a wall paper on his computer of some of my most famed guitar heroes. Well, we get to talking about equipment and you wouldn't believe it but we have almost the same equipment. Same amp, guitar and even effects pedal... (But he has more toys than me) He even likes the same bands as me.

What a great God we have huh? Isn't amazing how God puts people in our paths? I just love Him! Gosh, the world doesn't know what they are missing. It is really sad! I wish they could only know what a real adventure is. It is better than any of these dull movies we see. But life with God is better than even the bestest of movies!

Happy Holloween... Well, I don't really mean that. Here is why!

Okay, so I couldn't resist. This is a very humerous foward but I must warn you that it is not for younger viewers. Be warned, it is quite funny!

A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab, and notices that the VERY handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her. She asks him why he is staring. He replies: "I have a question to ask you but I don't want to offend you"

She answers, " My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive."

"Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me." She responds, "Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic."

The cab driver is very excited and says,

"Yes, I'm single and Catholic!"

"OK" the nun says.

"Pull into the next alley." The nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush. But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.

"My dear child," said the nun, why are you crying?"

"Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied and I must confess, I'm married and I'm Jewish."

The nun says, "That's OK. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party."

Say Good bye!

Here is another controversial and funny forward....

An old man, a boy & a donkey were going to town. The boy rode on the donkey
& the old man walked. As they went along they passed some people who
remarked it was a shame the old man was walking & the boy was riding.

The man & boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed
positions.

Later, they passed some people that remarked, "What a shame, he makes that
little boy walk."

They then decided they both would walk! Soon they passed some more people
who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride.
So, they both rode the donkey.

Now they passed some people that shamed them by saying how awful to put such
a load on a poor donkey.

The boy & man said they were probably right, so they decide to carry the
donkey. As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal & he
fell into the river and drowned.

The moral of the story ?

If you try to please everyone, you might as well...

Kiss your ass goodbye

Thanks for Giving! Thanks forgiving!

Hey gang,

It was a fanatastic thanksgiving weekend and thanks for all your prayers! Thanks for giving

We brought some of our own privately made Cranberry Sauce to the occasion. It is endorsed by Jagpaul himself. So, you are probaly wondering how we got the BIG DAWG! Well, God has his ways!

We also shared a gospel message about thanking God for forgiving us of our sins and restoring a broken relationship. Did you know that we were enemies with God?

"For if, when we were God's enemies..." (Romans 5:10).

It was sin that seperated us with God and made us his enemies. We all stand guilty of sin.

"...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (3:23)

There was a price to pay for our sins:

"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (6:23)

It was pay back time but God loved us so much that he decided to pay that price for our sin. He sent Jesus to bring reconciliation or restoration of that broken relationship:

"we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!" (5:10b)

Why would God do such a thing? Well because he loved us:

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)

Here are some of the photo hightlights of the weekend:

So, our Cranberry sauce can walk and talk! Here is T-Bone enjoying a little time inside the Can

I just love Cranberry especially Jagpal brand. Did you know that there are arm rests inside the can? It is quite comfortable. It is made with a lot of love in mind...

It is crantastic! You will just feel like you have ascended to Seventh Heaven if you try it! Not the can of course but the sweentness inside! But you have to try it yourself to understand.

For those weight watchers out there, I know what you are about to ask! What are the ingredients? What is the secret to the sweetness?

It is a wack load of prayer from the Saints!

Fear of the Lord

The Bible speaks much about the fear of the Lord. Who can forget that world famous Bible verse, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge...," (Proverbs 1:7) I remember in my Old Testament class, our teacher asked us to explain what the fear of the Lord is. So, I, a budding, brand, spanking new Christian decided to enlighten the class with my vast knowledge on the fear of the Lord.

I told him that the fear of the Lord had to do with standing in awe of God like so many preachers have said. It didn't really have to do with being scared of God. Dr. Abegg warmly invited my observation and politely said, "Yeah, I've heard many preachers say that... but I don't agree with them." He talked about have a real fear of God to the point of being afraid of him because He is just so holy, and powerful and huge etc.

I wasn't sure what to think of his comment until I read Exodus 20:18-21:

"18 When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet and saw the mountain in smoke, they trembled with fear. They stayed at a distance 19 and said to Moses, "Speak to us yourself and we will listen. But do not have God speak to us or we will die."
20 Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning."
21 The people remained at a distance, while Moses approached the thick darkness where God was."

Now that is what I call the fear of the Lord! This verse really supports what he was saying!

Thanksgiving Turkey

Pucker up Big Boy! Here is our Turkey from last year's annual young adult Thanksgiving Potluck. Yummy, you may be thinking but not until you have tasted! It was a fun filled evening with games, food and who can forget the turkey.

MMMMmmmm.... I just love turkey and that crazzy drowzy feeling you get after eating!

Well, this year we are at it again with some new surprizes! Come if you can!

Date: Sunday October 8, 2006

Time: 6:30pm

Place: Delta Church

If you are coming, give me a shout and we can reserver a spot for you! Who knows? You may sit beside this guy, I mean turkey!

(It is a Potluck so call me up because I'd love to let you know what is left on the menu.)

See you than!

Unlikely Leaders

What a mixed bag of potatoes does the book of Judges have.... Have you seen the people God chooses? Whom he calles to the ecolades of leadership?

"Stranger heroes - they are a reluctant farmer, a prophetess, a left-handed assassin, a bastard bandit, a sex addicted Naririte and others. It is easy at a distance to point out the foibles and failures of the leading characters in this downwardly spiraling story. But lest we get to proud, Paul reminds us, "That is what some of you were" (1 Cor. 6:11). With similar mixtures of ignorance, frail obedience, and tangled motives, we, like them were "washed, sanctified, and justified" by the grace of God. For all of their flaws, we are to learn from their faith. For it was in faith that Gideon, Barak, Jephthah, ans Samson "conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised" (Heb 11:32-33)

From An Introduction to the Old Testament by Raymond B Dillard and Temper Longman III

Patience my Young Padone...

I just finished doing a Sunday School lesson on patience and boy was it ever convicting. I kept having to cry out to God, "Have mercy on Me! Lord, I'm a sinner and need to be restored! Have mercy on me!" Many Christians prefer not to pray for patience because they know it is a tall order. They are scared of being stuck in traffic and having to learn the hard way of developing patience. There is a fear over the means, or the pain of developing such a valuable fruit. There maybe some suffering involved. But remember what Romans has to say about that?

"Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us."
(Romans 5:3-5)

I was reading a book by John M Drescher called Doing what comes Spiritually, and he says,
"Suffering enables us to understand and help the sufferer. Financial failure teaches us to put our trust higher. Disappointment drives us to see things from a divine point of view. Betrayal on the part of another teaches us better to understand the cross."

Spurgeon...

I just love Spurgeon. Here is one of his quotes from an article around by David Slaenwhite...

"Some pray like saints at the prayer meeting but fight like devils at the business meeting."

How can spirit filled beleivers shout praises to the Lord followed by screams of criticism at His servant? How does a heart profess love to Jesus yet practice hate towards a brother?

Warning!

If you are a Pentecostal/Charismatic than I don't recommend you read the following blog! It is very offensive to the sensitive so please save yourself the anger and all the rest and pray on... Also remember that love is not easily provoked (1 C0r 13:1ff)

So, I was at a church meeting (what else is new) when all of a sudden we broke out into a bunch of hymns. It was absolutely exhilerating! So my friend mentioned that he loved the hymn and that it came from Maranatha. He and his family grew up on Maranatha songs and it was very special to him. So I asked if he listened to vineyard? He said, "No, we don't listen to the charismatic .... Our family are not for into that kind of stuff" I reassured him that vineyard music was for all people.

Than he said, "If I want to roll around on the floor, I'll do it with my wife..."

We all enjoyed a good laugh... This is how most Christians view our charismatic/pentecostal friends...

Give me Meat!

I'm tired of tame preachers. I'm tired for hearing the same old things about God! I want to learn more! I want to learn something new! I already know my God heals. I already know that God forgives. I know about the miracles!

But I also know that there is more to Him. Teach me Lord. I want to know you! I love and adore you!

I'm tired of spiritual milk! I want meat!

Now I should be careful. Otherwise I might have to learn those hard lessons in life. You know what I'm talking about. Dealing with the issues where there is no hard and fast ansrew! Those experiences made just to humble you so you can realize that you are just a finite being. It is those lessons that a Bible College can't teach you or the finest theology can explain.

It can be the painful lessons where you aren't given any reason for the hurt but you feel it anyway. Nothing seems to relief it and it just remains. You question it and ask for it to go but it still remains. It is a thorn in the flesh. It keeps you from being exalted or proud.

So what do you do except live and wait till the trial is over to breath again and press on! You realize all the little things in life that you took for granted. Now you are given a fresh fondness and a deeper appreciation for them. You even have a new sympathy and understanding into other peoples pain. You feel more empathy and compassion towards others. The world says that is weak but they are wrong!

These are the real lessons and the real way to know God! This is real meat!

Kevin

Here is Kevin! I wonder what his prayer is?

" 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.'" (Luke 18:13)

or maybe

" I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High." (Psalm 17:7)

or how about,

"Why, O LORD, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?" (Psalm 10:1)

All biblical prayers. And some from the book that the Israelites used for worship called Pslams. Such freedom we have in Christ. We can just express ourselves and he is not offended! I just love God!

SAGC Booth

Look at these blokes! Smile for the camera please. Just behind them is a booth for South Asian Global Convention London 2007. Here is one of the friends we made. I don't remember his name... Don't you just hate it when that happens.

He was very kind and courteous and serving the Lord in his own way. We sat down with him and talked about life, and the ministry and the vision to reach the world for God. It was a moving conversation. A God moment and wouldn't you know it... what was his name? Oh, it will drive us nutz!

" See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;..." (Isaiah 49:16a)

Doe

Doe, a deer, a female deer. Isn't wildlife beautiful? I love wildlife and there is alot in this part of the world. When I saw this pic in reminded me of a Bible Verse:

"A loving doe, a graceful deer— may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be captivated by her love." (Proverbs 5:19)

Yeah, it is really in your Bible. You think I'm pulling your leg. Check your personal Bible yourself! You'll be quite shocked to see it there!

New Life

Some of my friends have just became parents. They brought some new life in the world. Did you know that all life is a miracle? It sure is! Well, you'll have to see the baby this Sunday at church. Sorry, no pics today. You have to see for yourself!

Good Music

Check out www.pillarmusic.com and skillet.com. There is good music on these websites. It great to hear that there is still room for killer electric guitar in Christian music still.

Joshua 1:8

Books, books and more books. But very few, if any were actually sold. I'm so heart broken...

"Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful."

We had many booths set up. Here is one of them. Book it!

Psalm 144:5: Isaiah 13:4

"Part your heavens, O LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, so that they smoke."

Psalm 144:5

"Listen, a noise on the mountains, like that of a great multitude! Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms, like nations massing together! The LORD Almighty is mustering an army for war."

Isaiah 13:4

Beautiful British Columbia

So the delegates went on a little field trip along the west coast of Beautiful British Columbia. It was very Scenic. This was on the way to Lynn Canyon. I just love home sweet home! I've travelled to many parts of the world and I'm so grateful that God has brought me here! It is so beautiful! Don't you wish you lived here?

KCF and not KFC!

Here is some of the crew from Kerala Fellowship Church (KFC or Kerala Fried Chicken). But they changed their name to Kerala Christian Fellowship or something. They actually understand music and know how to sing in key. I get a real kick out of them. They taught us how to use our instruments and sounds. We learned a lot from them. They really caught the vision of SAGC and took the convention to the next level. I'm grateful to God that they are in our lives. It is great to see Keralites passionately serving God. There is so much hope for the world!

Walk on the Ganges.

Here is Rob. He is not an Indian but he really is. He walks along the Ganges and shares the Gospel to whomever comes along his path. He told us about the adventure of how he bumped into a couple of people and shared about Christ.

I also liked the story about him biking in some desert in India when a limo stopped him. The lady said that her mother recognized him somewhere but poor Rob had no clue. He was actually talking with that model lady from India.... you know Miss Universe.... Ashwiya Rai if I remember? She was in a limo with some other Bollywood actor and poor Rob didn't recognize them. What an adventure!

Worship.

This was the joint service with Richmond Pentecostal Church. They let us use their facilities and went the extra mile for us! You can see Rehan Garstin leading worship. He's got a heart of gold and abosolutely no pride or arragonce to him. Most people would give anything to have talent like him! I guess that is who God is looking for. People who use there talents to advance God's purposes and not to draw attention to themselves. I'm so glad he doesn't boast about himself. He just worships and that is what really counts!

Worship Warriors!

And who can forget these two? They are our worship warriors! They help set up the worship for most of the event. Sure, we don't know how to transpose and some of us cannot even sing in key. The guitars are usually overpowering the other instruments but they still stuck it out. They were still faithful and instead of giving up or getting angry or lashing out, they remained calm and at peace and deomonstrated the fruits of the Spirit. I got hand it to them. They demonstrate true godliness! If only worship leaders were known more for there character above all else!

Speak Up

This was a real miracle at SAGC. The Head Co ordinator who absolutely refuses to be infront of people came and spoke to the delegates. This was not a fluke but a real act of God. He absolutely hates being in front of a crowd. Our God loves to take us out of the comfort zone. He loves to have us move to a new land. We may not be familiar with this land or even know the way but none the less God still leads in his supernatural way!

Indo Fijian Church

Our dear Friends from the Indo Fijian Chruch were a huge asset! They were more than happy to help in set up and take down. I was so happy when they volunteered to help set up all the seminar rooms.

For some people, it is below there dignity to do the humble work but not these folks. They are willing to be last and servant to all. Wait till heaven comes... they will get a grand reward.

Thanks again dear friends!

SAGC 2004

Here are some of our co ordinators for SAGC 2004 in Vancover. These two went the extra mile as always to bring God glory in every part of this ministry! It was a grand success by God's grace. I will never forget the memories.

New Life Mashi Ghar

This is New Life Masih Ghar Church in South Hall. There are alot of Americans there doing the Lords bedding. They even got some interns from the USA and they were dressed in Sari's, (the girls mind you...). They were so kind and hospitable and let us share the vision of reaching South Asians for mission work.

We are so grateful for their hospitality and prayers. We were off to the airport right after. They seemed to have really caught the vision and God bless them. Can't wait to see them at SAGC 2007 London!

J & J & J

These are some of my friends... okay they are my family. They are looking really holy and innocent right now but wait till the have a couple of rounds of pop and cartoons! They just explode like a couple of fire crackers. But you know what, I still love them. They are just to adorable for words!

Don't you just want to reach in and pinch their cheeks? Well what are you waiting for? Go ahead and do it!

P & B and...

Hey look, it is Pritam and Balbir and someother people.... LOL!

Knight Rider

"Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share..."
(1 Timothy 6:18)

Isn't the body of Christ just beautiful? My friend here was in desperate need of a car. His old one was stolen and literally ran on faith. Eventually it wasn't driveable. (Like it ever was...) But you know what? God is so good. Some of the beautiful people in the church saw the need, knew about the need, and did something about it! They donated this car for his driving purposes before he left for the mother land! These friends didn't just sit idly or give the responcibility of help to someonelse because it was within there means to help. They rose up to the challenge and gave the brother a hand. I just love the about Jesus lovers. They are always eager, and willing and helpful and ready! God bless them!

"In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.' " (Acts 20:35)

Smile!

Look at the baby holding the baby! The two babies smiling together. They are just smiling away. And life keeps on going! Time keeps on ticking but what do they care? They are enjoying the moment and smiling away! They don't care about the rat race we call life. Life is different for them.

It is about living in the moment and taking each days as it comes! What could be better than that! Sure, there are pressures and deadlines and bills and appointments and so on. But what the heck? What about these rare moments? What about those times when you can just smile away....

And how about you? Have you had the chance to just smile and enjoy the moment? Wouldn't you like to be as care free as these babies? What is stopping you? Your problems? They will come but why not smile in the meantime!

Holy Shot!

Here is one of my students. She is a real God send. She is always asking the right questions. Isn't this what real learning is about? It shows that she is paying attention. She won't sit idly and let knowledge pass through one ear and out the other. No, she is out to learn! And why not?

"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline." (Proverbs 1:7)

My Hat goes out!

Now back to my bathroom, meal and baby birthing.

"ROHAIB! Where are you?!"

See you soon!

These are the males at 9Javan. They are really cool! I love their desighner hair cuts. They are very stylish!

AHhhhhh, the memories. There are so many beautiful people in the Body of Christ! I'm glad to have met you. I'm sorry for the ones I couldn't get to know. I wish I had a glimpse of the outrageous adventure you are on with Christ. It was great to see the work you are doing for him! One day we all will kick back and reminiss and give even more glory to the saviour. Until them, peace be with you!

Prayer Time!

It is time to pray. See you soon!

Sher

Hi! I'm Sher. Which way to the washroom? I'm hungry! So long friends and may God bless you!

Here is Zee and his wife. They just got married and are enjoying a new life in Pakistan. Cheers!

Scotland

Here is Rajwin, Blank, Benergie, Tag and Pritam. Just behind him was the restaurant where we ate food. Rajwin is smiling after a hearty meal of Haggis. It was a great meal! I loved it. I'm glad the bill was taken up by some else. I wouldn't be able to afford it. This is Inverness Scotland not far from Loch Ness. Very beautiful.

Kush Kabri Fellowship

This is KKF! They are all praying. Well, almost all of them. They baby is pointing to Rajwin who is not prayer. LOL! I'm just teasing. I don't recognize any of them except Pritam and Rajwin. I wonder if this is Changi Airport! Looks like they have had a yummy meal!

This is Superman and his crew. They kept us up at there house for a long time. They fed us and fed us and fed us and fed us! We can never forget them. They were SOOOoooo hospitable and loving. They invited us into their family and hearts. I just missed them. They are hearing the testimony of a man who came to know Jesus. It is an incredible story. They are recieving the greatest news on earth. I love them!
