The Bible Faith Sharing was held in the Mini hall Bro Godfrey led the Praise & worship

Bro Hilary Da Veiga preached on Galatians Chapter 4; He also pointed out that some people are misinterpreting or misquoting what he says at the BF S but he says since everything is recorded it is good.

Bro Hilary said that the chapter on Galatians was all about us being made FREE through the blood of our LORD JESUS CHRIST!!! & so we need not cave into all bondages fears / threats. He said the ruler of this world i.e. Satan does not want us to be happy so keeps telling us that we are not FREE.

So celebrate our Freedom in Christ Jesus!!

The St Mary's Bible Faith Sharing Group had organized a overnight picnic to Al-Ain..The group was scheduled to leave from the Indian School at 5.00 pm Dubai Time; [ Since we are used to Indian Stretchable Time it was no wonder that we only moved after 5.30 pm]
There were 3 mini buses and some of the people came in their own cars. The journey to Al Ain was started with Prayer in the buses and in the bus I traveled it was Sr Olive's birthday she led the opening prayer asking the Lord to protect us and prayed that we have a wonderful time... There was Praise & Worship in the bus; testimonies were shared by Bro Pete on how he got inner healing. Bro Hilary Da Veiga gave us teachings in the bus during the journey he kept us informed about how we must be on our way to Heaven... He also went around serving us samosas & tea. After our tea break; he asked the people about this quote "Do your best & leave the rest to God" some agreed & some did not agree the ones who agreed he asked them for their reasons. One of the sisters said she has recently lost her job so she says by just waiting for the Lord to work I have to go about doing my work of searching for a job & then leave the rest to Him. but Bro Hilary Da Veiga said if we have this attitude means we are doing all the work and making God the tail.. But instead we must allow God to lead us & guide us to our goals / cast our burdens unto him / Coz without Him I can do nothing / we have to give him first place in all things... I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.Then there was a discussions on the Mother Mary's Bread which is going on in Dubai. Sr Olive explained what it was & she said that she told the person not to continue it....the journey continued with melodious singing of hymns... we reached Al - Ain around 7.30 pm we went to a restaurant named Top 5 when all the people had gathered we sang for Sr Olives birthday as she cut her cake, then Bro Michael led the thanksgiving prayer & grace before meals as we took part in a sumptuous buffet meal, after our meal there was a thanksgiving prayer made by one of the Sisters . From there we went to Hotel Hilton where 90 of us were accommodated through the generosity of one family. After checking into our rooms we assembled in the Hotel Conference hall for an hour of Praise & Worship... at the end Bro Hilary said a protection prayer and asked us to be back next morning at 7 am in the Conference hall..

28th July 2006 Friday
Al - Ain

The picnic continues................

The Praise & worship started at 7.15 am, was led by Bro Liston and it went on till 8 am there after Bro Hilary invoked for more Praise & worship which went on for another 45 minutes... Bro Hilary asked the people who were converted from other faiths, to stand up & there were more than 10; all of us said a prayer for them and it was a very touching moment. After that breakfast was distributed and all were asked to assemble at the conference hall after having their breakfast in their rooms... Breakfast was packed by the restaurant it was very filling each having three parathas and lovely potato curry.
The programme for the day was explained and all went to the family pool for fun & games after an hour of games we again assembled in the Conference hall people were made into teams like Fortitude/ obedience/ faith etc and given some skits to perform there was some games held before we went on our way for lunch to the restaurant at Al- Jimi Mall.

For Lunch Bro Terence & 2 others said the prayer & grace after the lunch it was nice to see all the groups trying to co-ordinate their skits among themselves. On return to the Hotel after lunch there was an awesome testimony of Bro Inder Kumar a Sindhi who had a Christian wife. Their 10 month old daughter was suffering from leukemia and doctors had give up all hope she was transferred to Al Tawan Hospital in Al Ain, Bro Inder was a person who ,led a very worldly life visiting bars & smoking 80 cigarettes a day he said he had drugs also but when some people came and told them that Jesus could cure his daughter he started believing in Jesus started reading the Bible and how miraculously the baby was healed by Jesus even the docs were stunned ; he also testified how his visa issues of his wife & daughter was solved.. now he & his wife visit hospitals and are into ministry in spreading the Lords Kingdom. Bro Hilary quizzed them after that he asked them suppose if your daughter was not healed would you be the same & Bro Inder said after I came to know Jesus & if my daughter was not healed I know I would be seeing her again in heaven, the mother also said it would not had been easy but God had given them the strength to bear it.. She also testified how some Non Christian Hindus were healed during her hospital visits.

After that we had the skits put on by the various groups it was great to see innovative ways of putting up skits from the Bible.... the price for the best performance went to the group Obedience for their enactment of the parable " The Sowing of seeds on fertile ground"... incidentally it was the Gospel of the day!!!

Thereafter there were testimonies by some of the group and the most amazing one was by Bro Vijay it was emotional about his son Rohit.

The group disbursed to the rooms for checkout and reassembled in the conference hall for a game of tambola. After the game there was a thanksgiving prayer and prayer for protection on our way back home to Dubai ...A group pictures were taken at the entrance at the Hotel as a remembrance of the wonderful weekend spent with the Lord in 5 star comfort.

The return journey was done by singing in spiritual hymns and saying the rosary and Divine mercy chaplet... We arrived in Dubai by 8.45 pm

It was a spirit filled picnic at Al Ain Hilton Hotel All praise to Almighty God!!!!

Jesus is Lord!!!

Shalom!!!

Yesterday 10th July 2006 Monday after the Holy Eucharist celebrations in the evening the the Bible Faith Sharing was held in the mini hall. The evening started with Praise & Worship
led by Bro Michael from the Prison Ministry led well with a protection prayer for all people attending the Bible study and those not present it led to deeper worship & thereafter it was Bro Clive who took over the preaching for the night;The topic was on Galatians Chapter 3
The preaching was good with analogy of ABC / sound of music. Bro Clive asked that we go back to the point when we were touched by the Lord ( Our Personal Conversion ) and reflect on the circumstances. The fact stressed by Paul in Christ Crucified !!! Was touching ( We like to look at pictures of Our Lord like the Good shepherd etc) it is only the Crucified Christ that has restored our salvation

It was a fulfilling experience.
I have been lucky to be able to attend the Prayer services, Bible study in Dubai.
The intercessory prayer ministry at Bro Godwins place is very anointing & Divine the presence of the Lord is so wonderful
Yesterday the prayers led by the spirit was so peaceful and divine its difficult to put it in words I am fortunate to be present for it
