uncovering - the UNCOVER London Mission - Part 1

Sophie's Clicks
Being in Essex (in South East England), which is something new for me is very exciting as it is a whole world apart when compared to the monotonous and really busy life of a Londoner. But I am here at Mile End 4 days a week, and have the urge to meet new people and be a witness for Christ everywhere I am. Its been four months since I am in UK and from the very first week of university, I have been involved with a group of friendly Christians who have not only been supportive but also really nice people.

In fact, I am the only Indian among the MSc program and although there are a few Christians in my course, I have not been able to talk about my love for Jesus to them. Now, this is compensated by the Queen Mary Christian Union and the lively bunch of programs we had so far. There was the Christmas carols and lovely talks on Creation, Relationship with Jesus, and a lot of wonderful study groups. Now, recently we had met for a project called uncover.


So what was/ is uncover? 


The Christian Union over the last year had done some nice surveys on what would people ask God? or how would they react to seeing Jesus here today? and what is your favourite film? The top choices in London were

* Lord of the Rings (Triology)
* The Shawshank Redemption
* Inception

Now what the UCCF had done was bring into light these films and help to strike a very good conversational topic that got a lot of students in London talking about it and we had a great speaker. Krish, as they call him, was splendid, he gave such wonderful analogies and made some topics very brilliantly crystal clear. the next post is on Karma with a great analogy by Krish

The Nativity - by Gari Melchers

This could be my first ever critique of art that I have ever written and that is because it is only recently art has captured my interest as much as this work. This write up is made both in English and German as I want to practice my German.  'The Nativity' by Gari Melchers.  I am not an art expert and my critique is from a layman's point of view, but bear with me. I have tried reading some information about the art and the culture behind it and I have my two favourite blog posts about the same work and yes,  I have shamelessly copied some of their thoughts. Woebegone but Hopeful and other is by Lisa VO . Julius Garibaldi Melchers (August 11, 1860 – November 30, 1932) was an American artist. He was one of the leading American proponents of naturalism. He won a 1932 Gold medal from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.[1] - Wikipedia The Nativity is painted during the peak of realism movement - in a gritty and less idealised manner . For m

Testimonies

This is an extract from a mail I had written to my friends and I wish that most of you my readers would get this message too. I want to tell you about a few testimonies that changed my perception of testimonies. Most of you may have heard me say this many times, but then since its that good, I wish your Christmas memories could include this one too.  The first story occurs in a little village of pullad. Now that is in Kerala, and for those who do not know where it is, the place is near kumbanad, and around 15 Kms from Chengannur/ Thiruvalla and some where in the mid point between ernakulam and trivandrum .  SEE IT ON MAP I HAD WRITTEN THE STORY IN A BETTER FORMAT OVER AN YEAR AGO. SEE TOTALLY SIMPLE FAITH.  It is a village more than a town , with rubber trees, bugs and the sweet sound of rain in the woody and leafy region, so it cooler and humid than most other parts of kerala. So, i was here, in a prayer meeting run by a pentecostal group called the hallelujah prayer fellowship

Spirit of the Lord and his Standards

The chapter Isaiah 59 is a very meaningful chapter. The chapter begins with the prophet telling us that God has not run away from us or nor is he hiding that our tears cannot be seen or our cries cannot be heard. But when we went away from God, we were also neglected justice by others and God saw that his children were oppressed and were denied justice and as it is said in in Isaiah 59:15(b) . This is our God. Although we are sinners he says and that there were no one who could stand for you as mediators , God would bring you the salvation. The Lord is at my right hand, he is there to protect me, but let me tell you that God is also there to guard you from sinning. The verse Isaiah 59:19 , is the most important verse that we should remember when we are tempted. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight*. Isaiah 59:19 What does this verse mean to you? This is what I have understood and I follow. You
