SEED Ministries

PRAISE THE LORD - He is always faithful to His Word & Promise.

During our last visit to tea plantations in West Bengal, in October 2009, we visited one that had stopped operations for eight years and the resident workers were in dire straits. On top of that, their wooden and bamboo church had been trodden and flattened by a rogue elephant. Read the original article here. But our Gracious Heavenly Father has done a marvelous work in their lives to turn their circumstances around.

EMPOWERING HIMALAYAN PASTORS & EVANGELISTS & MEDICAL OUTREACH IN REMOTE TEA ESTATE (13 – 18 Jan 2010)

PRAISE GOD for a most successful mission to North Bengal in early January 2010. Here are some feedback remarks:
"...great blessing for the Himalayan workers..."
"...this seminar is unique and full of insights for leaders..."
"...Now all the pastors want to conduct the same training in their regions."

Leadership Seminars, Healing Meetings & More... (12 - 24 Oct 2009)

Glory be to God for a powerful 13 days in the Himalayas (12-24 Oct 2009). We conducted a leadership seminar in Nepal; held healing meetings in a refugee camp and a tea plantation in north Bengal; ministered at a church retreat in Mirik; and at a Fathers' Retreat for Rengma-Nagas.

Thank you all for your prayerful support - you have as much a part in what God did through Eleanor and me, including all the miraculous healings. PRAISE THE LORD!

Leadership Empowerment  

 

Ten days after returning from Ghana, it was off to Nagaland again on 24 Jan 2009. Beside the fact that a single person being granted a permit (PAP) to enter this "Protected Area" was unheard of, I had to produce such a permit upon checking in at Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) airport.

So, this journey of faith into a very remote and neglected part of Nagaland was promising to be a rough ride. Arriving 5 minutes before the Kolkata check-in counter closed did not help my stress level, but in the rush to get me on the plane in time, the airline staff overlooked asking for the permit! Hence, I arrived at Dimapur airport not knowing if the permit would be waiting for me at Dimapur airport, Nagaland, or I would be sent packing back to Kolkata. Praise God, the former situation prevailed.

The first mission to Africa by any SEED team (1 – 14 Jan 2009) was historic in many ways. We ran smack into the home-run of Ghana's presidential elections where the victor won by less than half a percentage point aftet a month of electioneering. I think if we had known that, we may have turned down the invitation to go. Why? Because in any other African situation, such a razor-slim decision would have sparked off cries of foul play and vote rigging, maybe, resulting in riots and much bloodshed.
