MISSION IN KOTTAYAM AND TIRULNEVENI

Khag Molad Samekh and Shana Tova (it is in Hebrew language, mean Merry Christmas and Happy New Year). I really miss the great celebration in Malaysia as I will be in Singapore till December 25th, 2007 then I will join the New Year Day in Bangkok.

After I left Pune (formerly known as Poona), I had update a few people through a long SMS and I don’t have internet connection except in the cybercafé (can’t use my notebook).

During my journey to Kottayam, State of Kerala, I attended and witnessed a lunch engagement after reaching 4 hours later.

As in Kottayam, I was working closely with Campus Crusade for Christ and I went to preach the gospel in the colleges and share the Word of God with villages. I was caught by fever, cough and flu due to the climate change from Pune (8 - 10 C) to Kerala (35 - 40 C). I also give disciples training to 3 undergraduate students in the short camping.

This is the christmas tree, design and made by plastic bottle in one the village.

After a week, the Lord asked me to go to Tirulneveli, State of Tamil Nadu. I was making a hard time decision whether to go or not to go due to my serious cough and end up, I decided to obey the Lord’s plan. I received an email invitation from Pastor John as I don’t know how he got my email but I accepted the invitation. Below is one of village pictures that I went to preach the Word of God. There are 3 people contains with demons, the Lord mighty use me to cast out the demons out. Shbkho Elohem (in Hebrew mean Praise the Lord).

I had visited quite a number of villages and spend time with the people there. Really thanks God for provide me the translators as they speak Tamil only as Pastor John’s arranged. Below are the pictures of the lecturing. My lecture topic is “Leadership by Faith and Faith in Prophesy”, it is ½ day lecture for all the pastors only. Some of the pastors invited me to become a speaker for the 3 days Youth Pastor Conference for the State of Tamil Nadu next year and it is depend how God want to use me. I had faced tough questions from the experience pastors but by God’s grace, the Lord provide me the answers.

Now come to the visit of the churches, I had visited quite a number of churches and preach the gospel to their members. This is one of the churches pictures that main pastor of Full Gospel, Pastor Vimraj took the snap-shot for me. I shared about God’s Gift Christmas.

When we were walking along the city, I share the Good News with city children and Pastor John will be follow-up the children.

It is amazing work done during my mission as I went alone. Kol Hthela Shyekht Laloheem (Hebrew language mean All Glory Back to the Lord). The things done in this mission is a fruitful one as God’s plan the mission as most missionary team is a pre-plan mission (not walk by faith but by sight). Only one place was a pre-plan is Kottayam and others are Walk by Faith. I received a small offering from various places (churches, villages and pastors) in the amount of Rs 800 (RM 67) and I am really happy even it is a small token as they give it by truth heart (Never forget they earn little). Shbkho Elohem. Furthermore, I was well taking care by the people there as they provide me free shelters, free meals and bringing me.

Enjoy the great festival season with joy, love and peace as the Lord Jesus Christ is our gift to us. Halleluyah!

Blessing,

MISSION IN PUNE, INDIA

The dry winter was started last week and it really cold each day. Due to global warming and tsunami, the characters of the weather had change tremendously and delay a month process.

Tonight I am leaving Pune (formerly known as Poona) the famous education centre in India and I will be taking a train to Kottayam, State of Kerala (World Coconut City) as the journey will take around 38 hours. Many of us used to get tired when we traveled from Kuala Lumpur to Penang/Singapore that takes only 4 hours by bus. In India, people said that 5 hours travel is like 45 minutes only.

I have a good time with former professor Mathaikutty (picture attached) and he believes in house church rather than building church. He is planning to start his own church, like what Bro. Yun’s concept (Heavenly Man Book) and his son, Betson, aged 18 have the heart to serve God through medical mission. Therefore, the Lord asked me to guide and teach them.

On a point, we are discussing the Bible prophesy fulfillment on the End Time Period. This is a sensitive issue and many of us, didn’t think about it but the Lord guide me and taught something new today. I would like to share with all of you as refer to Book of Daniel Chapter 8.

Verse 8 : The goat became very great, but at the height of his power his large horn was broken off, and in its place four prominent horns grew up toward the four winds of heaven - It is stated about the IM power is growing from small to big. Never forget that IM countries are very strong in their financial and transferring lots of monies to other countries.

Verse 9 : Out of one of them came another horn, which started small but grew in power to the south and to the east and toward the Beautiful Land - The beautiful Land is Israel, the east is Palestine and the south is Egypt that is all the IM countries. After the attack of Iraq, US Government will be planning to attacks Syria (this north of Israel) as the enemies are getting stronger in south or east but US will never win.

Continue to verses, you will understand more about future prophesy in the Bible.

We let the Lord led the Way and uphold the nation for peace.

Blessing,
Pastor Steve Peter H S Kok
