Amen and amen!! I agree completely! Our time is short, there is a sense of urgency for would to be saved and won for our Almighty God's Kingdom!

Subject: Re: {FECA Vision Choir} Epilogue

A few weeks back in a prayer class, David asked how many of us are desperate for revival. Everyone raised their hands."Then pray for revival 15 minutes daily."David said.
I asked the Lord-where do we go from here?
Then we see how God blessed Vision's ministry, Engage the Crisis' and Mexico ministries and a family is going to Iraq for short term.
What is God doing ?where do we go from here?
Thank God for our brother and mentor Wee Hian's note. The word is MOMENTUM. This word came up at least twice in Wed. Night prayers. In the meantime God has set two brothers on fire for repentance and revival. I feel we need to keep up the momentum. Keep our hearts on fire, do not let it die. What do you think?

Re: {FECA Vision Choir} Epilogue

Hi Marshall and Meiring

Thank you for sharing some of the wonderful outcome of Vision's recent trip and ministry.

Praise God!

Tis year our Olympic team gained the second highest haul of medals at Rio, next to USA.

Besides the commitment, thorough preparation, heavy government investment, I read that

they built on momentum. In 2012, on home soil they won 65 medals.At Rio, the total number

was 67. What I found touching was that Team GB did not rest on its laurels but immediately

planned and executed their strategy for greater success. I pray that you, Vision and the local

church leaders will do this.

So many churches applaud their success over an event or trip but never worked on the

momentum.

Blessings

Wee Hian

After returning home and having Home Concert on Aug. 20 as well as having a few weeks to reflect and receive news of what is happening in India, we are so grateful to God for some unexpected fruit, a peek as it were into some deeper work God is doing that we are so privileged to share.

* Orphans at Knoble Academy Institute (KAI) in Bangalore - There seems to be some profound changes in the lives of many of these children.

Re: {FECA Vision Choir} Report 17. Home Safely

So enjoyed your reports. So blessed by what you all carried and took to India. Thank you for going! The Lord is pleased with the singing bride that ministered to children in India. Praise the Lord! It's His faithfulness all throughout to you and to those you ministered and your humble heart of love to Him and the little ones in India. Heaven rejoices! You have given a cup of water to the least of all - the little children in the orphanages - so it is you have given it to Him.

Monday, July 25. We loaded up the bus with all 13 of us plus Tim and Kloe and left the hotel at 6:35, just 5 minutes after our planned departure and due to light morning traffic, arrived at the airport at 7:30. We said good bye to Tim and Kloe who are staying here another day before they leave for Korea and not returning to LA until Sunday. We had no problems clearing security, getting our boarding passes and got to the gate waiting to board by 9:30, an hour before our scheduled departure to Dubai. We ate the fruit and breakfast the hotel packed for us while we waited. The airport is new, beautiful, and clean. One would never know they are in India sitting here.

We arrived in Dubai about 12:30 PM local time. By the time we cleared security again, boarded the train, etc. to get to our departing gate, it was 1:30, about 45 minutes before boarding time and over an hour before departure time. We left the gate a few minutes late and arrived in LA at 8:15 PM, about 15 minutes late, got through immigration, found all our luggage and got to meet up with all the welcoming families at 9:30. Praise the Lord for journey mercies. Calida is back in Hong Kong and Terry and Allison should be in Japan vacationing with their family, but we have not received confirmation of their arrival.

We ate lunch at Pastor Joel's downstairs from the church, then returned to our hotel and rested for an hour before our last group devotions.

After devotions, we all got on the bus at 3:45 to take Allison, Terry and Calida to the airport as they are leaving tonight; Calida to Hong Kong leaving after midnight, and the Kuo's to Japan via Delhi to meet the rest of their family and vacation. The rest of us returned to Pastor Joel's church. Because his whole family has been sick all week, the outreach originally planned for tonight was cancelled but the youth still had a fellowship service at church, so we joined them, sang three songs, did the Heart Skit, and Eric shared. Their youth also did a skit about prayer, we watched a segment of the movie War Games, and Tim spoke from Jeremiah 29:11-13. We ate dinner - a delicious non-spicy beef stew over rice which they said was tasteless, returned to the hotel to rest and get ready to leave early Monday morning.

{FECA Vision Choir} Report 15

Saturday, July 23. We started with breakfast at 7 AM and devotions at 7:45 before starting our debriefing at 9. Kat is feeling sick so she slept in until lunch time, but joined us for lunch and in the afternoon session. Some deep sharing and tears were shed as some made profession of being bolder in sharing their faith back home, of building deeper friendships and becoming more vulnerable so Christ can be seen in their lives and of being called to ministry. We finished a little before 6, ate chicken rolls which Tim had purchased from a local fast food place at about 6:30, and spent about an hour worshipping; then got ready at 8:30 to sleep since tomorrow is another early day.

Looking back on the two weeks here, we are so grateful for all your intercession for us. None of us caught the flu that plagued Pastor Joel's family and we only had minor coughs and stomach problems (not even clear if it most of it wasn't due to pollution and allergies and spices). We saw much that touched us deeply and we saw so many examples of redemptive work done for and by AIDS victims, orphans, and the handicapped. We learned to pray listening prayers which powerfully blessed those who then realized there is a God who knows what they were going through. Thank you for supporting us as we wind down our time here.

{FECA Vision Choir} Report 14

Friday, July 22. We did our usual routine of devotions and breakfast. Then we checked out and loaded the bus and left Madurai by 8:45. Paulus and Rosie drove by just to say goodbye to us. In just a few days, we have grown to really appreciate them and their example of living for Jesus. We learned that one reason the church we sang in last night, Zion Church, is growing is because they have been ministering AIDS victims, many who live in the neighborhood. On our part, we have been learning to listen for His voice on what and who should share and what songs to sing, last night's program being an example of God orchestrating the whole evening. We also learned that Pastor Joel's whole family is still slowly recovering from the flu, and Shiney's little boy, Kevin is the last to come down with it and currently the sickest. We stopped for lunch around 1 PM but the place we stopped did not serve dosa until 4 PM so we just ate veggie fried rice and butter paneer (a deep fried cheese sauce). The drive back to Bangalore was uneventful (that is not to say any driving in India is anything but a nerve wracking adventure) except for seeng scores of red-faced and red-bottom monkeys by the side of the road shortly after lunch. We made fairly good time until the last 30 km, taking almost 2 hours, finally arriving back at our hotel, Keys Whitefield, at 6:50.

We ate dinner at the hotel and met Joseph, Tim's friend and key contact in India. It was Joseph who connected Tim with all the people and ministry in Madurai. We sang a couple of songs for Joseph and gave him a set of Vision CD's, then went to sleep. Tomorrow will be a whole day of debriefing to process what we learned on this trip; for us, probably the most important day of the trip so pray for us.

Today is our last day at Madurai so while we followed our morning routine, once we got to Peniel, we first did a short music program for the kindergarten through primary students, about 350 of them, sitting on the dirt ground under the mango trees. Marshall talked to them about Western music, the concept of melody and harmony, with Vision demonstrating by singing the chorus of Do Lord. We then sang the orchestra song, so they could here the different sections singing their own part, yet harmonizing. Finally, we sang the Victoria "Sanctus" so they could hear the interweaving of parts in polyphonic music. We than sang and danced three of the VBS songs. The children seemed to enjoy every bit of it. We then started VBS at about 9:45 while the adults had devotions with the leaders and staff of Peniel, about ten of them. Both Tim and Paulus shared how God had brought these two organizations together, beautifully answering prayer requests of Peniel,with capabilities of SFI and visa versa. For example, Paulus explained how their previous Correspondent of ten years wanted to retire in 2014 (I don't know why they use the title of Correspondent, but she is apparently the head manager of Peniel) and after prayer, God brought in Dulcy, a Godly woman who had retired after being Principal of a 4500 member school, eminently qualified. So Paulus has a vision of doing a choir music training (similar to what we did in Sikkim) so this choir can minister to the churches in Madurai. The graduating teachers from Peniel could meet the needs of teachers SFI needs in Nigeria as well as in Bangalore. The drinking water filters could provide clean water in the villages. The sewing skills of the trained seamstress could help produce more jute bags for SFI. The synergism and complimentary needs seem like God-orchestrated. After a tea break, we (adults) met up with with about have of the tutors from the tutoring centers (they call it Tuition Center instead of tutoring but that term is confusing to us in the US). Tim and Kloe encouraged these tutors, many of them believers but some still on the way, and we prayed and blessed these ladies. Tim then talked detail plans and business with Paulus.

We had lunch together about 12:45. We then finished up VBS with the children. Meanwhile, Tim and Kloe had an opportunity to talk to the professors who teach the teachers about the need for teachers in Nigeria and challenged them to either go themselves for a year or encourage their students to go. We tried out the tailored chutithar and kurtha. Most fitted very well, but some of the girls wanted a looser fit so they are being altered and were done before we left at 3:30. Done with VBS, most of the girls had washable tattoos drawn on their arms by three girls from the nursing school. As they dried, the guys had to clean up the VBS room as the girls were rendered useless by the drying paint. We arrived back at the hotel about 4:15 to rest up before we left at 5. We stopped at Paulus' home to celebrate his 51st birthday today, had cake and homemade ice cream, and left at 5:45 to sing our last program in Madurai at the Pentecostal Zion Church.

Because of traffic, we arrived a few minutes late at 6:37 and could hear the worship from the loud speakers a couple of hundred feet from the church. Because the keyboard was in reasonable shape, we sang a lot of songs we had not sung the whole trip (and it showed in lapses of text), songs like "If This Is not a Place" and "O That Will Be Glory". Josh gave a terrific testimony, almost sermon-like, and Rachel's testimony about miraculous healing just fit the needs of the church as many asked for healing prayers afterwards. We did not perform any skits as it seemed out of place in a church setting and Calida message about the power in the name of Jesus to heal, citing the healing of the beggar from Acts 3 seemed to fit the theme for the evening. She then asked for people to come forward for prayer but the pastor took an offering first. Nevertheless, at least twenty people from an audience of about fifty came up for prayer, including some children. Jada had a most interesting experience of listening prayer as she prayed for a lady with her son. With no foreknowledge, Jada got a thought about Hannah and Samuel and prayed that this lady's son would grow up to be used by the Lord like Samuel. After praying, this lady was in tears, explaining that her older daughter had died of cancer, her second child killed himself, and becoming a believer recently, she wanted her third child to be dedicated to the Lord, and Jada's prayer was exactly what her heart desired. We then ate dinner at the church cooked by the pastor's wife, debriefed during the bus ride back and went to bed after doing some preliminary packing.
