Shalom All,
During our stay in Singapore, my friend also a Senior Pastor (I always treat him like a godfather to me) offered us to stay in the mission house and treat us a meal in Pizza Hut even though he was quite busy, he tried to spent time with us. The Lord is always good to everyone as the Lord prepares the way for everyone and we must be good to another.
We brought the ticket to Chennai (formerly known as Madras), India and the air ticket cost us around RM 1,300 using Air India Express for two persons. We took the flight on the May 5th, 2008 around 10.20pm at Singapore Changi Airport. When we saw the signboard on the weather in Chennai is about 41 degree in the day time and night time is about 32 degree, it is really hot during this summer.
We reached Chennai around 11.30pm (India time) on the same day we departure and it is too early to catch a train, therefore we waited at Chennai Egmore. During this summer, many people are travelling by train and it never been easy to get a train ticket. When the Reservation Counter opened, they told us that we need to go to Chennai Central, therefore we went there. There is a special counter room for the foreigner to purchase the tickets. We tried to get the train ticket on 9.30am for the special train to Tirunelveli, end up no ticket. We tried to find another alternative way to go there otherwise we need to wait at the train station till 9pm. At last the ticket issuer said that he found a two A/C seating that can go to Madurai that cost us around Rs 1,000 (RM 84) without choice, we took it as we were very tired and want to reach the destination quickly. From Madurai, we took another train to Tirunelveli as we reached there around 2.45am.
When we got down from the train, we saw Bro. John Jawahar Durai (pastor cum evangelist) together with another brother, I never met before and he used to work together with John and now he is doing part time ministry cum driving a motor rickshaw. He drove us back to John’s house and now we are staying in one of his small room.

On the following day (May 7th, 2007), we attended a wedding reception as invited by Bro. Ebenzer Palliah (a pastor cum evangelist + TV preacher) in the town. My first experience was an engagement wedding in Kottayam on my first arrival, now in Tirunelveli. It is always exciting when we see marriage going on, as God’s children is getting united. Halleluyah!
The next day in the noon, we went to attend the children ministry in the town. The children were so happy to see us there and asked us to come and visit them. I didn’t share Word of God but we share the joy and love with them. Even we feed the little baby goats around. When I saw a brother sitting down at the corner whom is blind and I sense that he is having a demon in him for a long time. I went and pray for him, he cried with joy as he felt the eye lids were recovering. Praise the Lord and all credit go back to the Lord.
During the evening, we went to a house fellowship whereby I was preaching in the house without any preparation but the Lord fully equipped me and the Lord want me to share about his two greatest Commandments. Bro. Ebenzer translate for me to Tamil from English while Bro. John made an introduction about me. Many people got touched with the Word of God and filled them up on how to love God before showing love to everyone.
When they requested individual prayer, I went with the Lord’s guidance and prayed for them. Everyone I touched, they started to cried as they felt the presence of the Lord is there very strong. Glory, Glory to the Lord for the Mighty Love to us. Amen.
