Blazing with Rach!

I guess there needed to be something I am passionate about to write a blog.  I am passionate about my country, Singapore.  And in the same breath, when once I was proud of the Singapore leaders, I hang my head in terrible shame.  And it all has to do with the Reserved Election which was no election at all! When I first heard about the Reserved Election, I thought hard and prayed about it as well.  And I was extremely upset that the leaders of Singapore will choose to force my choice.  On 15th November 2016, I wrote an email to the Prime Minister's Office registering clearly my concerns and non-support for the Reserved Election for various reasons.  See the major portion of my email addressed to the Prime Minister below: I have been following the intention to have a reserved election for the next President.  While the argument that Singapore should have a minority race President is noble, it also makes one (me) feel that as a Singaporean, I am not able to rise above racial iss

The blog titled  Engaging Community Leaders of a Marginalised Group was first published by Global Proclamation Commission for Trainers of Pastors on 2 May 2017. Do take time to read and feel free to share.

It has been slightly more than week since I returned from the Holy Land.  I am taking longer to recover from jet-lag.  But here I am, finally putting words down so that God's goodness to our Holy Land Adventure team can be praised!  Yes, please give Him all the glory, praise and honor. But let me go back to 2016 and take you down this adventure trail with Christ. Pre-trip Preparation July 2016:  I was really excited that a team would join my often solo ministry trips to just about anywhere.  This was going to be different as only three people in the team actually knew me; the rest were people who had minimal contact with me.  And so, we began praying and meeting via Skype once a month. Especially with the core team of two brothers and one sister, we would prepare ourselves with the Word, intercultural issues and intercession. We were supposed to partner with another ministry in the Holy Land (more about that later). Throughout the next six months, we saw people dropping o

So in the midst of all these executive orders being signed by President Trump, Christians and non-Christians taking sides; Americans and non-Americans taking sides, one of my good friends in West Asia asked me a pertinent question:   I assume there's a point where you may say you do not support a policy even if it came from Prez Trump? I wonder where that line is for you.. My response was:  I am waiting for that line too. At this point, I just see the lawlessness of the past catching up with the present.   Watch Mr. Jason Chaffetz on 9,500 visas given to terrorists Watch Mr. Trey Gowdy Q&A - The Syrian Refugee Crisis That's a really good question.  Like I said in my previous blog , I was not a Trump supporter but accepted it because I truly  believe that God has appointed him for such a time as this. Many people are up-in-arms about the current temporary ban on the refugees' entry into the United States of America.  There is also a deep concern about

Alright, it's my perspective and it's true, not alternative fact. You can deny it all you want but you cannot deny my thoughts or experience and the right to ask some deep questions. You also cannot deny that I love Christ and the people of the nations. Trump's Presidency My prayer times with God about the USA and Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were painful and heart-wrenching. I wondered why, all of a sudden, I had God's heart for the USA. Being a prayer warrior, I knew why - I had to be on my knees for the USA and the new President. And I began to pray that God will expose all the lies, deceits and be so clear as to who His President should be. Without a doubt, three days before the Nov 8th election in 2016, I knew that Donald J Trump was going to be the President of the United States of America. But God's heart was too heavy for the USA. He was not lifting His hands yet. Thank you Jesus! And I knew that it would be landslide victory.
