With a view of tapping the worship talents of the church and also doing something innovative, not to mention in keeping with the times, the team at TLC decided to record a choir recital and have that as an invitation with a short message.

Franco who spearheaded the initiative along with Marianne D’cruz  Aiman and Errol marks are optimistic about the results. “The choir has been working hard on this for the last few weeks and they were brilliant in the recording on Sunday. I’m sure the DVD will come out excellent”. Marianne, who has done innumerable songs for Bollywood including movies like Lagaan and Black was our choir conductor and Errol Marks and his ‘Curly Haired Rascals’ were in charge of recording with Rohan Aiman on Sound.

To really take this ahead we are looking to sure this video on local cable networks. We are praying that we’d have a good operator who can do this for is with maximum reach.

In terms of church we’re seeing a new generation of people coming out too serve their Lord with talents both public and behind the scenes. Do keep is in prayer. Wish you a blessed week!

Pics from the recording:

It was the most exciting and enthusiastic, “Together On Mission” conference that we attended thus far. From the first hour of the 3 days, God’s presence was amazingly there in Worship, Seminars and during the words that were preached and the praying together that happened. This conference was marked with flow of prophetic words encouraging us to go forth for God’s Mission, It simply was amazing.

Our dear Rambabu put fire in every heart in the fist session and it was there throughout the others’ preaching. Guy Miller, spoke for the fathers heart for the sons, and Peter brooks taught fantastically on the subject of shepherding in 3 sermons he preached. He was fabulous. Inder was as fiery to put take passion further for the mission that we are called for. Everyone is just talking about TOAM Bangalore 2011 today. Here are some encouraging testimonies of our people.

Ajay: God spoke to me to come out of routine. I was weak in prayer. I was encouraged to pray more. God showed me a vision for church in Jharkhand from where I come and I have faith to see it happen. I have taken steps to pray more. Now I am praying for 2 hours daily.

Ravi: God spoke to me break out of routine and now I have new desire to do something, which wasn’t there before. I will read bible with more passion, will pray more fervently, and will prophecy when God gives me the words for others, (I was fearful before)

Kailash: I was touched by Guy millers and Peter Brooks word about church and handling in difficult times, and also received personal prophetic words for which I had prayed. I want to take a firm step to grow in music and play some instrument. I want to work for growth of God’s kingdom.

Abhay: I was touched by praise and worship and am so thrilled to grow in the same. I want to learn once again to play guitar, this time with more zeal, fire and perseverance for the Lord.

Niranjan: This is the third time I received same prophecy from Isaiah 60:1-3, regarding sharing the gospel. i will therefore grow in evangelism and want to remain burning like ‘burning bush’, it is burning but not getting consumed.

Michael:  God spoke to us both Patricia and me the same prophetic words through four people that we will have many more spiritual children and God will use us mightily for spreading of His gospel He also encouraged us for being faithful. I personally received a vision from the Lord which will help me move on more clearer in God. There is a fire which has begun within, which will help us continually keep giving the best for His kingdom.

Preaching through the book of Acts has been a huge benefit to many of us. Acts clearly speaks to us about apostolic ministry & the importance of being open to apostolic insight.  Nigel Dutton, Samir & Vinu  were involved with us in the past, but now we have Malcolm Kayes  who is more experienced and has been coming to India for the last 20 yrs.  He will oversee TLC along with Vinu and David. Let us look to God as we involve these men in an accountable relationship to help us in seeing our vision fulfilled and to see the church plantings initiated successfully.

Together on A Mission 2010

Walking into big steps of faith , covering Hebrews, moving with the prophetic utterances, dreams, bringing forth to the table the know it how moving ahead in terms of steps and money spent,  the visions imparted, childrens work, assessing in god the moves, steps which small yet seemingly yet faith for the achievable.  Amidst electrifying praise and worship, fellowship within the brethren of the body of Christ far and near – all summed up in a nut shell that was how toam 2010 was.

Words of encouragement to each and every church, made to feel belonged fellowship, preaching from the pulpit by guy miller and his team not only convincing into righteousness but surely looking forward to history changing in indias church planting – 100 churches looks so near!!.

Toam comes every year, but this years toam has left an impact which will last in the hearts – towards kuch karke dikhana hain, bade kadam vishwas ke prabhu main.

Youth Sunday 2010

After a really long time, TLC had it’s Youth Sunday—a day when all the youth organized the setup, led the worship and the overall management of the meeting. Rajiv led the worship and we had Sydney Nevis with us that day who shared a simple word in Hindi. We had 5 young new comers that day.

It was a joy to see all the youth come together and work as a team that day. Amen!

THE TLC TEAM (Clockwise from top) : Errol (GK), Bevin, Ardon, Jacob, Robert, Emmanuel, Kyle (Captain), Ajay, Neil (Manager), Kirk, Joshua, Samuel, Jerald and Aditya.

It was a mixture of joy and surprise as we took the cup. Glory to God, we won! The matches we played were tense and exciting! There was no controversy, just plain, clean fun. As a family of churches who came from different parts of the city together that day, we exhibited a sense of oneness that can come only from Christ. May be that’s what being part of the Church is all about—togetherness and family!     – Neil Quadros
