“ ... I put within you My Spirit...” (Ezekiel 36.27)

OH, Holy Spirit,

When I first met you I did not know Your Name,

Where You came from or where You were going.

I had heard of you a few times.

It was such a huge and completely new discovery for a young man like I was at the time.

I could have never imagined there was Someone like that, like You.

Slowly I began to know You, as time went by.

And how much You had in storage for me!

I found out how much I was loved and

cared for, we became intimate friends.

You protected me, time after time. Sometimes even in an outrageous manner.

And when I suffered, because of misunderstandings

from those who never understood that You were the One in charge, You were there.

My failures were hidden, my sins forgiven

all healed by a single glance of Yours.

I have found You, my Friend. The only One. The greatest and best of all:

Wonderful, wise and powerful counselor.

Yes, You won me over, completely. I surrendered at your feet

and decided to give myself away determinedly, I made this vital commitment:

My whole being I laid down at Your feet,

I am at Your disposal.

Now You bring me bound to Your Will

I have lived as an untamed steed and I have flown where Your wind has taken me.

As a wild horse You have me under your guidance

Swiftly running across the prairies... 

I have been taken and still am to Your many worlds.

My life I do not own, I’ve chosen to live Yours.

Your servant I am and always will be.

Give me Your Spirit, my own is only Yours!

"... Renew Our Time ..."

"God has spoken to our Church in Lamentations 5:21. We believe in a large harvest, though there will be many trials.

In January, we had a great meeting in our church, in the Orphanage. Pastors and members of all Peniel Church gathered to worship and hear the Word of God.

Recently, a brother came to the Church in Trivandrum and was baptized. He was an alcoholic and suffered from panic disorder. Someone brought him to  Church and he was saved. Jesus set him free!

A mother also came to us seeking help for her son and his alcoholic father. Family members and neighbors said there was no hope for him. The mother, in despair, was thinking of suicide. She came to one of our services and was saved. Her son was also saved. They were baptized and are congregating in Church. The family began to prosper. Some time ago, this mother told me, 'Pastor, now, after many years, I have peace and true joy!'

This guy is bringing other young addicts to the Church. His transformation has become a miracle for the whole community. We know that Jesus is the ONLY way. His life was transformed by the power of the Gospel.

Yes, Jesus works miracles. There’s no doubt! Thank you for your prayers and support. "
