Happy Children @ the Retreat It has been an amazing month for us; we reaped in 100’s of fold in blessings. Thank you all of you for your amazing support and prayers; the children retreat was a great success. Bangalore Team and Children @ the Retreat As the song says “Count your blessings, name them one by one and it will surprise you what the Lord has done” ; yes it is very true, it will throw you back to realize and see the miraculous hand of God in your life. We both were overwhelmed and could not hold our tears back. This successful event would be our greatest driving force within and to stand in faith to achieve bigger things in our mission journey. CHildren REtreat – feb 2019 The Lord is good! The event was a great success! We had over 140 kids and 90 parents attending this retreat. It was really a celebration time.

Do What You Love - Follow Your Heart

Image
Youth Gathering Month of January turned out to be a month of praying, reviewing (both for personal and ministry) , preparing, planning, regrouping, serving and meeting for the way we should go about this year. We realized when you fall in love with something, you don’t feel it like a work rather you it becomes a driving force within. When we follow our heart (with God in it) , things happen automatically and we tend to produce the best (our thoughts, vision & mission). On the other hand, following your heart will help you to work natural and exciting to do. We can feel the energy flowing within and if someone motivates us it becomes an added bonus for us.   Thank you all for being our extra bonus. Mission Updates – JANUARY 2019 Volunteers Meeting in Jan 2019 Sunday School Ministry: Our ministry with children is going great. Every Sunday, we both with few volunteers travel over 12 kms to remote villages to teach them Bible Stories, Action Songs,...

Season of Joy & Giving & Miracles

We understand this would be belated wishes for all of you but we would like to start this blog with our heartfelt wishes “Merry Christmas & Happy New Year”. For every one of us, Christmas is a time of reflection as well as a time of great joy! After all, Christmas isn’t about material gifts under the tree, it’s about our Father’s gift, the celebration of the birth of Jesus, who died on the cross and rose from the dead, paying the price for our sins. Christmas Outreach 2018 Christmas Outreach; Miraculously Provided: It was a huge step for us and we needed lot of funds to conduct the program and bless the children with Christmas gifts. We gathered our volunteers and prayed for new door to opens. The very next week, a local Christian NGO partnered with us and covered 65% of the program cost. It was a huge blessing. A right time, my close friends and supporters covered the rest of the funds. Thank you one and all for your prayers and support. The whole month, every day...

Trust Him - He still speaks

The month of November 2018, was super special. First time in our lives, we were able to stand against the negative battles of mind and take bold decisions to see changes in our mission and ministry. We were afraid to take bold steps in our life and mission; it is because our decisions always lingered around practical difficulties, funds, super-logical approach and being cautious. It is difficult to take a step of faith when your vision is steep. We were caught in that whirlwind.  Sunday School Ministry Photo with Kids in a remote village It was during this time; we together prayed and decided to organize a Christmas Outreach/Carnival program in two villages. This programs will certainly help us to closely associate with the villagers and establish our vision to start children club in their village in upcoming year. The decision was easier  to make but when we started practically thinking about it; we were afraid and our mind came up with numerous logic...

It is not the Destination - But the Journey

Blog 3 The month of October 2018, has been a great learning for us as a family. We as family understood, it is not the destination that matter rather the journey towards it. Our Life learning with a Smile We realized we put-off too many things in life and become busy 24*7 in order to pursue the things that we want to achieve for His kingdom. Things like family, enjoying with friends, building new relationships, working out for both mental and physical fitness, taking regular Sabbath, experiencing peace, forgiving enemies and enjoying small things in life. We realized that we were too focused and unknowingly lost ourselves personally on the way. We are not saying we are giving up our dreams and goals rather we understood it is important to find the right balance that allows us to pursue big things without sacrificing the small things that makes life worth living. Life is the journey but we seldom live out to its fullness. Understanding our situation, we both went on a l...
