Serving God's Purposes in Our Generation (Acts 13:36b)

Albert Jebanayagam – A Radical Christian

One day, God began to speak in a still small voice, "Albert, My Son Jesus died for you. Now, what will you do for Him?" That question shook Albert to the core of his being, and desperately trying to justify himself, Albert answered, " Father, I have spent all my spare time and all my earnings on your work, what more can I do?" . . .

You're Not Indian

People have said to me before that I'm too disconnected from my culture. Within myself I know I'm too connected to my culture for them to say that, but in the way I do things and in the way I live, I could pass off for one who is really not connected to my culture. I never learned Malayalam or Hindi properly. I can speak enough Malayalam to communicate to my grandparents, but I can't read or write anything other than English, and a bit of French I learned in high school. I love Indian food more than anything else,…

Decisions, Dependence & Dreams

Have you ever asked yourself, "What is my destiny?" Have you every looked at yourself in an analytical manner, asking yourself where you want to go, and what you want to be in life? It's the struggle that defines the human heart. It's the question that boggles the minds of many Christians. Maybe others of you are asking, "How can I put my decisions in alignment with the Word of God?" As I've grown in my faith and love for the Lord Jesus Christ, the thing that keeps me going is that God called me to His purposes. He planned…

How do Global New Christian Leaders look like?

In the 21st century, to be effective in meeting the world with Christ and His ethos, there is a need for a new caliber of leadership. Any movement will only go as far as where the leader takes it. There are ample of examples in the Bible such as Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Joseph, Paul and others. Leaders create momentums to impact the world. Therefore, it has become a very important issue both in the secular and Christian world to input into leadership that will spearhead these changes. Read on and be blessed as Dr. K.Rajendran expounds on global new Christian leaders...

Billion Reformers

God has set His eyes and heart on billion reformers who must unseat the princes of the world. A billion reformers will impose jurisdiction and kingship over His people. They will change the landscape of nations through their exemplary lives. Then only can the balance of power shift from the kingdoms of the world to the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ as end time prophecies in the bible come to pass.  (Isa. 2 : 2- 4) There is an utterance in our spirit: a call for BILLION REFORMERS.

My Friend

My friend I stand in Judgment nowAnd feel that you've to blame somehowOn earth I walked with you day by dayAnd never did you point the Way You knew the LORD in Truth and gloryBut never did you tell me the Story My knowledge then was very dimYou could have led me safe to Him Though we lived together on the earthYou never told me of the second birthAnd now, I stand this day condemnedBecause you failed to mentioned him You taught me many things, that's trueI called you friend and trusted youBut I learn now it's too lateYou could…

Ministry Update – God is moving!

Mom and I returned to the US on September 11 after spending 6 weeks in India. This past weekend we were invited to Chicago to minister at the International Pentecostal Assembly Convention. The trip to Chicago was awesome. God moved in mighty ways. We arrived there on Thursday evening. We went to Mercy Aunty and Uncle's home for a late dinner. There, they had two friends over. As we began to share with them all that the Lord has been doing, the two women were deeply moved and inspired to move more in the POWER of God. Also, one of the…

Sungeeta Jain – A Model Christian

I would like to share three life-changing events in my life with you. The first event happened in 1986 when I was ten years old. One moment I was sleeping in the back seat of my parents' car with no worries in the world, and the next moment there were ambulances all around, and doctors telling my parents I would never walk again. In a matter of seconds, my life was turned upside down . . . . All of the sudden I found myself confined to a wheelchair, unable to move or feel my legs. I spiraled into a deep depression after that. On top of that, the accident stripped my home of all happiness and peace. No one smiled any more. No one laughed. There were just tears and sorrow.

That's the World: Movie Review of Ray

Aretha Robinson: "I'll show you how to do something once, I'll help you if you mess up twice, but the third time you're on your own. 'Cause that's how it is in the world." Is this really true? As Christians, aren't we called to be different from the world and not leave anyone on their own? Patrick gives us a beautiful insight reflecting upon the movie 'Ray'.

Testimony of Inderpaul Singh

"If God can bless an ordinary person like myself, then why not you? We just have to let him and trust Him with all our heart. The ride that ensues will by no means be comfortable but even in your problems, there will be a peace of mind that only GOD can bestow..."

The Good Life

With post-modernism settling well into our culture and the wealth of conflicting belief systems in the world, many believers especially teenagers feel they are inadequately equipped in presenting the gospel. What then is the best arguement or the best defense for our faith?

Silent Cry

Every day they pass me by, I can see it in their eye. Empty people filled with care, Headed for who knows where? On they go through private pain, Living fear to fear. Laughter hides their silent cries Only Jesus hears People need the Lord, People need the Lord At the end of broken dreams, He's the Open Door People need the Lord, People need the Lord When will we realize - People need the Lord We are called to take His light To a world where wrong seems right. What would be too great a cost For sharing life…

Q-tips

So we're at Pastor Pritam's house in Singapore. It's Monday morning and we're all dressed and ready to leave (it's the day we're flying out).Pastor Pritam walks out of his bedroom, like he's on a mission, with a box of Q-tips.Suddenly out of the blue he says, in his Pastor Pritam kind of way, "You know, Q-tips are very good!" We all nod in agreement a little befuddled."Do you all use Q-tips?" We nod yes, tired from sleeping at 2am and waking at 5am.Pastor Pritam nods his "I see" kind of nod and then suggests, "Why don't we all take…

The Good Life

So I think I’ve finally recovered from jetlag enough to write about my two month vacation to Mumbai, Kerala, and Singapore. The long holiday was a refreshing break from the regular routine of school, work, church. Seeing family and friends was great but the international experience is truly one to savour. New people, new sights, new sounds, new tastes—it’s a loaded experience!In Mumbai, amidst the honking of trucks, putt-putting of rickshaws, barking of stray dogs, and calls from the bhaji walla, I indulged in chaat—pani puri, dahi batata puri, sev puri, etc, mostly street food. Fruit varieties included pomegranates, chicoo,…

Shine!

God’s Word says, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in Heaven.” Though we know that we are to shine as Christians, often it is difficult to know what exactly we are supposed to do in order to shine. We have vague ideas of living holy lives and keeping that daily connection with God. However the following are some ideas that you can put to use in your day to day lives. Challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone and into a realm where you really have…

Simply Stated

My dear friend Sarahi Dominguez, upon her return from a recent short term mission trip to Spain and Morocco, wrote the following.This week I came back from Spain and Morocco. My life was changed, my perspective of the world shifted, and my heart transformed. It takes moments such as the ones that I experienced to open my eyes to the great needs of the world; to the respond to the call of God, to His command of "loving your neighbor as yourself." Such a simple statement seldom expressed by individuals...I will live this command.The world, everything that's happening in it, all…
