Mission To Sri Lanka 1 - Testimony 3

This 3rd testimony is on the general goodness of God in all the work done by me during my mission trip to Sri Lanka.

- "Praise God". God relocated Bro.Christie, with whom I have been involved in the CCF (http://www.ccf.org.in) ministry to Sri Lanka 3 to 4 months ahead for his own mission / ministry calling so that he could be the main coordinator of my mission trip. Every single event, my transportation to the events, my food & shelter was arranged by Bro.Christie. I "Praise God" for he works everything in accordance with his larger plan for our lives.

- "Praise God". Every single need with respect to the finances was met & I was also able to give the surplus generated as an offering for the betterment of Sri Lankan people.

- "Praise God". Bro.Christie was able to able to meet / reconnect with his friend after a gap of 10 long years during the "Glorey Of Christ Prayer Church" service in which I was preaching at Wattala.

- "Praise God". During the course of my teaching / preaching assingments. 2 youngsters who had completed Bible college & were now silent (Not active) decided to re-dedicate their lives to ministry.

- "Praise God". Many Church pastors have decided to encourage & start corporate fellowships among their Church congregations. A couple of pastors have agreed to start fellowships among plantation workers & other similar groups of believers.

- "Praise God". I was able to sustain energy to preach at 3 Church services and a meeting on Sunday. It was God alone who sustained me with a tireless energy during this mission trip.

"Praise God. Though I am a very unknown person in Sri Lanka, through Bro.Christie & the Lord's blessing I was able to meet many top Sri Lankan Christian / Secular leaders and meet, fellowship & pray with them.

On the whole, I can only say that the Lord personally cares for and blesses every single activity carried out under the sun in his name. May the Lord alone be glorified & may every single credit of this successful mission trip go only to him & him alone. "Praise God"

Mission To Sri Lanka 1 - Testimony 2

On Program Schedule

The 2nd testimony is on the actual work to be done at Sri Lanka during my mission trip.

My Plan
Friday (2nd Oct evening) - A house prayer meeting.
Saturday - A seminar/conference for youth "or" corporates.
Sunday - Teaching/preaching at 2 Churches near Airport.

God's Plan
Friday - Meeting with Church leaders & Business leaders to kick start a corporate fellowship movement at Colombo city.
Saturday - Meeting at the residence of the PA of the Social Developement Minister of Sri Lanka along with senior pastors, leaders of the Hatton Pastors Fellowship and involving the Founder & President of the Sri Lanka Christian Federation. The meeting was to encourage the Church leaders to start fellowships among plantation workers & corporates.
Sunday - Preaching at "Living Christ Church" at Wattala followed and preaching at "Glorey Of Christ Prayer Church" at Wattala in the morning session followed by preaching at "Colombo Gospel Tabernacle Church" in the evening at 5pm. Enroute to the airport, a meeting with the secretary of the "Shephard Fellowship" for Pastors, to encourage them to start a corporate fellowship movementa at Wattala.

As we can see from the program schedule, if I had gone as per my plan, I might have been 75% satisfied with my mission work at Sri Lanka. But, now I am 100% satisfied with the work done at Sri Lanka through this mission.

I "Praise God" that he has guided me to do so much good work at Sri Lanka during my first mission trip to Sri Lanka.

Mission To Sri Lanka 1 - Testimony 1

On The Overall Travel Plan

"Praise God". Even though we make great plans, God has greater plans in store for us. This testimony will clearly speak about how going along with God's plans will enable a greater blessing into our lives.

My Plan
To start from Chennai to Sri Lanka on Friday (2nd Oct) by flight at 12.30pm & Return on Sunday (4th Oct) by flight at 3.30pm from Colombo.

God's Plan
There was a strike & my travel plans were modified. I started to Sri Lanka by Midnight on Oct 2nd (12:35am) & Returned to India by flight from Colombo on Oct 5th (3.20am)

Benefits on going along with God's Plan
- My local coordinator Bro.Christie was able to pick me up at the airport as Friday was a working day for him & if I was reaching in the afternoon as against at Midnight, it would have been difficult for all of us.
- I was able to preach in one more additional Church & make one more meeting with the secretary of a leading pastors fellowship possible because of stating on Monday early morning instead of Sunday afternoon.

By this change in the travel plan, I was able to do more of God's work at Sri Lanka.
