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!
