WEDDING DAY

Shalom All,

Last tuesday is the great day for me as our wedding ceremony is already over. Many of you received the shocking news whether do believe it or not…thinking it is still April, must be an April Fool. Some people reply and some people didn’t know what to say, just like playing the music with a pause button.

We met Brother Prasit (also a church pastor) last Saturday when I was preaching at the Lumpini Park and many elders asked Bro. Prasit to conduct our wedding as we decided last Thursday. Jenny, my wife went through a long interviewed between Bro. Prasit and his wife. On that night, he planned not to conduct our wedding as he called us. Till the next day, the Lord asked him to conduct our wedding immediately and he decided to obey the Lord’s Commandment. We didn’t expect so many people attended our wedding include her relative from Hatyai, my disciple from Africa and other provinces of Thailand. Praise the Lord as the Lord’s Glory will be raise forever and ever. Amen.

Yesterday, we went to Kao San Road where all the western people and backpackers to celebrate the Songkran Festival as it will be over today (Tuesday). Always alert when you join in, all your carry items must put into a plastic bag to avoid getting wet and for female, be careful as the people will touch your private part (you can’t do anything, as too many people around).

Thank you for the people who is praying for us. God is good all the time and just listen and obey His Commandment. Amen.

Blessing,
Pastor Steve Peter H S Kok

THE APRIL 2008 ACTIVITIES

Shalom All,

Today is the day that the Thais people celebrate the Songkran Festival (mean Thai New Year) whereby people start throw or shot water (using water or cold ice) to everyone. Even the policemen also playing with the water gun to shoot everyone and we shoot him down. It is really exciting festival and first time join the event.

I have a great announcement before I share my further report to you. I had met a Thai-Chinese lady whom is also a Christian. She will be working together with me on the mission trip as well we will be coming back together to KL. During our relationship, the Lord had used my friends that don’t know her, only saw our picture, made a statement to us, go ahead the Lord is backing me on this and we feel comfortable with each other. We will be getting marry this coming Tuesday at the Thai church. As the Bible said “The man who finds a wife finds a treasure, and he receives favour from the Lord” - Book of Proverbs 18 v 22 and “this explained why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and two are united into one” - Book of Genesis 2 v 24. Praise the Lord over and over again as the joy and love in the Kingdom of Heaven. Below is the small church that I am leading as well our wedding is going place. Almost forget to mention her name, her name is Jenny and she is same age with me.

On Saturday (April 12th, 2008), I was invited to attend a public evangelism place in the Lumpini Park (it is the national garden park) in the early morning and also to collect the picture. When the pastor said that anyone want to share the testimony, I took the opportunity to come out to speak and I never any share testimony but the share the powerful message of the Word of God to them. When I asked them to join hand together and pray together, one lady falled down and cried till I went over there, lay my hand on her head…then she start to stand up and stop crying. Then another young man (black colour shirt in the picture), came out and asked for healing on his knee and another miracle of healing happen. One elderly man came forward and asked me to pray for him, then I pray for him and each time I speaks in the prayer, he hugs me tighten and tighten till the Amen. One of elderly lady had a hearing problem, asked me to pray for her and then she can hear better. Miracles happen in the public area…Praise the Lord as the Lord is working in them. Believe it the Power of the Lord is much more greater than everything, we must fully trust and obey His Commandments.

Yesterday, Sunday, I was preaching in the Laksi Church and not many members turn up as it is Songkran Festival, everyone was back to hometown. I had conducted communion service (bread and wines) and also water baptism in the pool. Below is one the member being baptism. As Jesus in the Book of Matthew 28 v 19 - “Therefore go and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit”. A week ago, the baby that I was carried him, was having virus infection, I prayed for this baby for the speed recovery and the baby was healed. All the credits back to the Lord for the touch and Halleluyah!

One brother from KL, asked me to stay back in KL for a longer period, at least 1 week plus to raise the mission funds for India and he willing to bear the differences for the air-fare. Praise the Lord and I agreed to it. Therefore, I am still seeking for a place for held a day conference…my time and date is still not confirm. Not only that, I also want to know how many people would like to attend as well bring your friends to listen (bring the non-christians especially). The conference that I will be preaching and sharing is;

1. Evangelism (Share joy and love from the first till last. Wait for the Spirit to be filled first, then only share the Good News)
2. Judging (Within the communities, they are judging…why? And it is healthy to judge?)
3. Extremist religions (Why people call them extremist or they are not extremist but of the hatred being forces by others)
4. Prophesy on the End Time (Global disaster is coming such as war, economy and etc as refer to Book of Daniel)
5. Share my vision and great testimony from God.

With the Grace of the Lord, the the one year trip will focus on Hindu cultures in this area of the world that is often referred to as 'the heart of darkness.' The purpose of our trip is fourfold:

- Church planting in Morbi, State of Gujarat
- Adopt the orphan babies working closely with Mother Theresa Mission of Charity at Morbi as babies need new parents
- Evangelize and Crusade with HIV/AIDS villages in State of Andhra Pradesh
- Leading Youth Pastors Conference and give lecturing to the pastors in State of Tamil Nadu
- Start a small children ministry to guide the children

We are excited about the opportunity and experience that lie ahead. We hope that you see the value in what we will accomplish. As you can imagine, a trip like this requires financial support from a number of people. I need to raise RM 21,000 by end of April 2008. If you can support me in a financial way, I would be very grateful. And, most importantly, I also need your prayer support. Prayer is the fuel that will allow us to be successful as we follow God's leading in ministry in these countries. Without prayer, nothing will happen.

While money is important, it comes in a distant second to my need for your prayer support. Since prayer support is so important to the success of this mission, I would like to know if I can count on you in that area.

Blessing,
Pastor Steve Peter H S Kok

FIRST MISSION OBJECTIVE STILL NO NEGLECTED

Shalom All,

After a long day break while working on the church members, I reviewed back my mission objectives that the Lord asked me to do. When I read back Isaiah 49, it is really make me realised on the past and current situation. Let me explain one by one verse and the main topic is “The Lord’s Servant Commissioned”.

v 1 - Listen to me, all you in distant lands! Pay attention, you who are far away! The Lord called me before my birth; from within the womb he called me by name. (The Lord was calling all the people from far away and asked them to pay more attention. Before I was born and still in my mother womb, the Lord already called my name - this is applied to everyone and the Lord is a planner since beginning).

v2 - He made my words of judgment as sharp as a sword. He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand. I am like a sharp arrow in his quiver. (The Lord had protected me since I was young as I never fall into bad company like getting involved in illegal activities since 3 years old. Moreover, I was not staying with my parents as they divorced and under care of the babysister 24 hours 7 days 365 days. Till I was 15 years old, I left the house, and my father rent a room for me. I have been naughty for awhile and make stupid mistakes but the Lord had sharper me up from further harm).

v3 - He said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, and you will bring me glory.” (Since the Lord spoke to me the second time after the Holy Spirit spoke to me, I had been called to do the Lord’s Commissioned and you can see all my reports keep saying “Praise the Lord or All Glory I received, I return back to the Lord or etc”)

v4 - I replied, “But my work seems so useless! I have spent my strength for nothing and to no purpose. Yet I leave it all in the Lord’s hand; I will trust God for my reward.” (Since I started working for the people around, it seems that I can’t stay put as my objective still uncertain even I have a MBA degree. Then I tried to start the Web education business and spent lots of effort to it in order to get funds and keep the project rolling but also failed at last. When I return back to the Lord, I start to understand the Lord has a purpose for me when I used Jabez prayer everyday and put full trust in the Lord. Whenever in the past I decided to leave it to the Lord to lead the way and just obeys Him fully).

v5 - And now the Lord speaks - the one who formed me in my mother’s womb to be his servant, who commissioned me to bring Israel back to him. The Lord has honoured me, and my God has given me strength. (When the Lord spoke the second time, the Lord said “You are given the knowledge and guidance”. Then the Lord showed me in my dream “Talk to the Tribes and they will be friendly with you”. The strength is the knowledge and guidance.)

v6 - He says, “You will do more than restore the people of Israel to me. I will make you a light to the Gentiles, and you will bring my salvation to the ends of the earth.” (During my mission in Thailand, the Lord sent me to India to share the love and joy with the people there, same go to Thailand. I received comments from people around, some said that I have full joy and love, some said that I am the light that can led them to God, some said that I am sent by God to them and etc. This is the light of God to me that I shine on them. The Lord had commissioned me to prepare the End Time Commandment to everyone as it is getting closes while bringing Tribes of Israel people back to Israel)

v7 - The Lord, the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel, says to the one who is despised and rejected by the nations, to the one who is the servant of rulers: “Kings will stand at attention when you pass by Princes will also bow low because of the Lord, the faithful one, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you. (As a member of the church, the church also didn’t recognise my calling and denied me directly by judging me. The real servant of the Lord will know the truth. Once awhile I was walking in the street, one or two people bow down a little to me, then I smile back to them.)

Do open your heart truthfully and humbly as I pray for the Lord to touch you to recognise His Word nor mine or your word. Continue to provide you the wisdom to understand His Word and abide to His Commandment. Praise the Lord for His Glory! Amen!

Don’t stop reading, do continue to read the verse 8 onward. Within the scope, it is totally link to past, present and future ministry. If you want to look back on the mission, go to the blog/website for the information.

God Bless!

Blessing,
Pastor Steve Peter H S Kok

RECENT GATHERING IN BANGKOK AND UPDATE

Shalom All,

Let all that we are praise the Lord, with our whole heart, we will praise his Holy Name. Let all that we are praise the Lord, may we never forget the good things he does for us.

It seems that it is a long time that I never write a report…supposedly I am thinking about subject title above and my last one is on February 2008.

I had met a few senior pastors lately and share the vision of the End Time, evangelise the Thai and also my mission objectives in India. They were amazed that how God really use me during this period. Moreover, most of them unable to do the same things by surrendering everything (Book of Luke 9 v 3) like what I did. I had give up my car, donated stuffs, etc and I left nothing (no assets at all) except the two big bags…the most expensive items is my notebook and certificate of appreciation from Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad while I go everywhere to evangelism and to follow what God have ask me to do. Even before I go to Bangkok, I only left RM 400 (Thai Baht 3,400) in my wallet (this is all my saving) but God had provided me sufficient funds within a week before I depart and receive a love offering about RM 3,000 (Thai Baht 25,500). In India mission, I also left RM 820 (Thai Baht 7,000) before I leave Bangkok and God provide me again the sufficient funds with the total of USD 600 and spent 7 weeks in India while came back with the balance of USD 400 when I reached Singapore. Todate, my funds only left less than RM 700 only and I know that God will provide me as I don’t think about it and put my effort on His Work, the Lord will provide. Praise the Lord for everything and also blessed the people who is giving through their heart.

On the March 23rd, 2008, I was invited to join the gathering with the community at Lumpini Park in the morning together with a Bishop, Pentecostal pastors and a former senator. Many people who were doing their own sports activity got up the attention and attend the gathering. I was briefly introduced to the people as I am the only foreign pastor around.

Last Saturday, I was invited to attend the Thailand Bible Society launching over the new Bible “Thai - Chinese Bible” with 150 Thai pastors together with Hong Kong Bible Society staffs. We had spent time together and share our common topics on the commandment of God and Jesus Christ.

One of the Reverend, an advisor to the Prison Community, he had invited me to visit the prisons in Thailand and share the Word of God to them. I agreed to the visit as I also visited the prison in India too but it is the timing of God and not me. They will need to submit my application to the Prison Authority to allow me to visit them. Within this few weeks, I don’t think that I able to make it as well the application will take time, therefore I will go after my return from India.

Last Sunday, I attended a small church near my place and the name of the church is Laksi Church. It had started in 2003 and the congregation is about 17 members, in the small shop lot at the condominium without much growth. The pastor (also lecturer in the seminary) had invited me to join him to build the church after we had a long discussion, as you know that I need to go to Malaysia before depart to India in early May 2008. I agreed to be his co-team for these 3 weeks as a voluntary basis and build the community as well train the disciples (this is God vision to me). The members also asked me when are me going to preach the Word of God to them and even called Rabbi. It is amazing that the Lord’s work again and all Glory to the Lord.

On my previous email, I am planning to have a conference for two days in Kuala Lumpur but end up I have to postpone or cancel the event as I need to help the Laksi Church and I will be back to Malaysia around April 21st - 23rd and spend a week or less in Malaysia.

Blessing,
Pastor Steve Peter H S Kok

FREELY WE HAVE RECEIVED, FREELY WE GIVE: UPCOMING MISSION & CONFERENCE

Shalom and blessings to all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

“Freely you have received; freely give.” – Matthew 10:8

I pray that each of you continues to experience the mighty work of God in your life. May your hearts be touched by His love and your days filled with His peace.

As I reflect on my recent mission journey, I am reminded of how important it is to first share love and joy with the people we meet, even before introducing the Gospel. The Good News is best received when hearts are softened by genuine compassion, not pressure.

A Journey Led by the Spirit

Throughout this mission, I have seen the hand of God moving powerfully, not through my strength, but by His grace alone.

Whether calling for rain (and seeing it come like the days of Elijah), witnessing healing, or casting out demons, I know this one thing for sure: It is all the work of God.

Some have told me I am like a light, bringing joy and love to those in darkness, but all glory belongs to the Father, the Creator of the world, who anoints and uses His servants for His Kingdom.

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” – Matthew 5:16

Let us always lift up our hands in thanksgiving to the Lord, for He alone is worthy.

Upcoming Travel Plans

By the grace and will of God, I will be returning to Kuala Lumpur in mid-April 2008, and shortly after, I will depart for Singapore at the end of April, where I’ll stay for three days before continuing my next mission to India.

Two-Day Conference in Kuala Lumpur – Seeking Venue & Date

While I am in Kuala Lumpur, I am planning (God willing) to conduct a two-day conference, where I will share what the Lord has placed on my heart.

This conference is free of charge, as the Lord has reminded me that salvation is a gift, freely given through Jesus Christ. We give because He first gave everything for us.

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.” – Ephesians 2:8

Conference Topics:

1. Evangelism through Love & Joy
• Sharing the Gospel begins with showing genuine love and joy. Wait upon the Holy Spirit’s guidance before speaking.

“Be filled with the Spirit.” – Ephesians 5:18

2. Judging Within Communities

• Why is there so much judgment within the Body of Christ? Is it healthy? How should we respond biblically?

“Judge not, that you be not judged.” – Matthew 7:1

3. Understanding Extremism

• Are so-called extremist groups truly extreme, or are they misunderstood and driven by fear or hatred from others?

6. Prophecy and the End Times

• Sharing visions and insights from the Book of Daniel and other prophetic Scriptures regarding upcoming global events such as war, economic instability, and disasters.

“The wise will understand.” – Daniel 12:10

7. Personal Testimonies & Vision from God

• I will share what God has shown me, along with testimonies from the mission field that glorify His name.

Final Words of Encouragement

Dear friends, I did not plan this conference for fame or promotion. The Lord simply said:
“Do it, and charge nothing.”

And so, I obey, just as Jesus paid the price for our salvation, we are to offer freely the love, truth, and joy of the Kingdom.

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” – Matthew 22:37

Please keep this upcoming mission and conference in your prayers—for God’s leading, protection, provision, and power.

I am excited for what God will do, and I look forward to meeting many of you soon.

God bless you all.

With love and blessings,
Pastor Boaz Kok

CALLED ONCE AGAIN: A NEW MISSION TO INDIA

Dear beloved brothers and sisters in Christ,

“Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’ Then said I, ‘Here am I; send me.’” – Isaiah 6:8

A few days ago, the Lord spoke clearly to my heart, calling me once again to return to India. Though the journey ahead will be long and filled with many unknowns, I choose to obey His command and walk by faith.

This mission is not my own, it belongs to the Lord. As we prepare for this next chapter, I humbly share the mission objectives and invite you to stand with us in prayer, encouragement, and support.

Prayer Requests & Mission Objectives (April–May 2008 Launch)

1. Church Planting in Morbi, Gujarat
   We are called to plant a church in Morbi, where the population is approximately 45% Muslim and 55% Hindu. It is a spiritually sensitive area with some extreme teachings. Pray for boldness, wisdom, and open hearts.

“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” – Psalm 127:1

2. Orphan Care & Adoption Advocacy
   We hope to partner with Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity in Morbi to care for orphaned babies and help find new, loving parents for them.

“Pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress…” – James 1:27

3. Evangelism and Crusades in HIV/AIDS Villages – Andhra Pradesh
   We plan to bring the hope and healing of the gospel to affected communities, offering not only encouragement but also truth and dignity to those suffering.

“He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.” – Luke 9:2

4. Equipping Leaders – Youth Pastors Conference, Tamil Nadu
   I have been invited to be a speaker and lecturer for the Youth Pastors Conference in Tamil Nadu. We will be equipping local leaders through teaching and fellowship.
   

“And the things you have heard… entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.” – 2 Timothy 2:2

5. Children’s Ministry – Planting Seeds of Faith
   We are launching a small children’s ministry to guide and mentor the next generation in faith, love, and truth.

“Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.” – Mark 10:14

6. Pray for Provision, Protection, and Direction
   As we travel across states and minister in diverse regions, we pray for:

• Financial provision
• God’s divine protection
• Clear guidance and discernment for every step

“My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:19

7. Reaching the Lost Tribes – Bnei Menashe, Manipur
   We also hope to visit the Bnei Menashe, a group believed to be one of the Lost Tribes of Israel residing in Manipur and surrounding regions. Pray that the Lord opens doors for us to minister and encourage them.

Teaming for the Harvest

One of my disciples from Bangkok will be joining me for this one-year mission. We are prayerfully preparing our hearts and lives to serve in India. Together, we hope to collaborate with the following ministries and churches:

• Full Gospel Churches
• Assemblies of God (AG)
• Church of South India (CSI)
• Holy Fire Ministries
• Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity
• And other local ministries and partners

“Two are better than one… for if they fall, one will lift up his companion.” – Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

Projected Financial Needs

We have prepared a projected financial report for the one-year mission. If the Lord places it in your heart to partner with us through giving.

Every gift, big or small, is precious in God’s eyes when given with a joyful heart.

“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give… for God loves a cheerful giver.” – 2 Corinthians 9:7

Closing Thoughts

As we prepare to go, we go not in our strength, but in the strength of our Lord Jesus Christ. May this mission bear much fruit for the Kingdom, and may His name be glorified in every village, every heart, and every child we encounter.

Thank you for your prayers, love, and support. Let us rejoice this season, knowing the Gospel still changes lives.

All glory to God. Kol Hthela Shyekht Laloheem.
(May all praise return to the Lord)

With blessings and love,
Pastor Boaz Kok

WALKING BY FAITH: A CHRISTMAS MISSION ACROSS SOUTH INDIA

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and He delighteth in his way.” – Psalm 37:23

Khag Molad Samekh and Shana Tova!

(Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in Hebrew)

As we enter this joyful season, I greet you with peace and love in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though I miss the beautiful Christmas celebrations in Malaysia, this year I will be in Singapore until 25th December, and then I’ll continue my journey to Bangkok to celebrate the New Year.

Let me take a moment to share what God has done throughout this mission journey.

From Pune to Kerala – A Journey of Obedience

After leaving Pune (formerly Poona), I updated a few friends through a long SMS. Internet access was limited, and I could only use a cybercafé without my own notebook.

My next stop was Kottayam, Kerala, where I arrived after a 4-hour journey, just in time to witness a beautiful village engagement ceremony. While in Kottayam, I partnered with Campus Crusade for Christ, ministering in colleges and local villages. I had the opportunity to preach the gospel, share the Word of God, and train three undergraduate students in discipleship during a short camp.

Though I caught a fever, cough, and flu due to the extreme weather change (from 8°C in Pune to 35–40°C in Kerala), God sustained me.

“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength...” - Isaiah 40:31

A Call to Tirunelveli – Trusting God Despite Weakness

After a week, the Lord impressed upon my heart to go to Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu. It was a hard decision due to my health, but I chose obedience. I received an unexpected email from Pastor John, inviting me to minister there, though I had no prior contact with him. I believed this was part of God’s divine appointment.

In one of the villages, we encountered three individuals who were tormented by evil spirits. By God’s power, I was able to cast out the demons.

Shbkho Elohem – Praise the Lord!

We visited many villages, and I’m thankful for the translators that Pastor John arranged, as most people spoke only Tamil.

Equipping Leaders and Preaching the Word

I was invited to give a half-day lecture titled “Leadership by Faith and Faith in Prophecy” for local pastors. Though I faced challenging questions from experienced leaders, the Holy Spirit gave me the words to speak.

“For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.” – Luke 12:12

Some pastors have invited me to return next year to speak at the Youth Pastor Conference for Tamil Nadu. I leave it in God’s hands.

During my visit, I also preached in several churches. One of the pastors, Pastor Vimraj of the Full Gospel Church, captured a photo of me sharing a Christmas message titled “God’s Greatest Gift”.

While walking through the city, I had the opportunity to share the Good News with street children, and Pastor John will continue to follow up with them.

God’s Faithfulness in Every Step

This mission journey was not pre-planned like many team missions. Except for Kottayam, each step was guided by faith, not by sight.

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” – 2 Corinthians 5:7

I travelled alone, yet I was never truly alone—God was with me. He provided every need:

• Shelter and meals were generously given by the locals.
• A small love offering of Rs 800 (RM 67) was collected from villages, churches, and pastors. Though small in amount, it was given with sincere hearts.
  

“…they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability.” – 2 Corinthians 8:3

Even the Christmas tree in one of the villages was made using plastic bottles, a beautiful display of creativity and joy, even in humble circumstances.

A Season of Hope and Gratitude

As we celebrate this season, let us remember: Jesus Christ is the greatest gift ever given to mankind.

I encourage you to celebrate with joy, peace, and love, wherever you are. Let us continue to walk in obedience and be led by the Spirit, trusting that He will complete the work He has started in us.

“Thanks be unto God for His indescribable gift!” – 2 Corinthians 9:15

Kol Hthela Shyekht Laloheem – All glory belongs to the Lord.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year once again.

With love and blessings,
Pastor Boaz Kok
