WELCOME TO MY NEW BLOG AND I START WITH SOME NEWS FROM MY LOVELY CHRISTIAN RETREAT HOLIDAY IN THE DERBY DALES LAST WEEK.

Greetings All,

l trust you are all well in the Lord. Last week I had the opportunity to travel to Cromford near Matlock in the Peak District for a lovely Christian Retreat Holiday. 

It was a great time of ministry and I left refreshed, strengthened, and encouraged in my Christian walk.

On one of the days I struggled giving my testimony for about three quarters of an hour (especially with the microphone which seemed to take me all over the room), for I had just finished a three hour walk in the Derby Dales and this followed the usual three hours of ministry and devotions in the morning!

It seemed to go down very well, Praise the Lord, for so many people came up to me afterwards to hug me (or give me a Cwtch as they say in South Wales), and told me how much they enjoyed my testimony of how I converted from Sikhism to become a Born Again Christian in Jesus! I was shown no little love all through the week.

Brian Gemmell, the main speaker, invited me to stay with him and his dear wife Gilly at their home in York next year, and I am looking forward to doing that.

I was also impressed with a dear 80 year old lady who drove on her own from London, and another elderly dear lady who travelled by public transport from the Isle of Wight on an eight hour journey!

I also met my new friend Neville Stephens from Wales who has kindly offered to help me run this new blog of mine. I have never done this before and I will be soon blogging some of the poems and articles I have written since becoming a Christian. 

Finally the life that I live, I live by the Grace of God who saved me a wretch and has given me a new life with purpose and meaning.

Below, with Neville's help, I publish some of the photos taken at the Retreat in Cromford, and one of them is me when I was "photo bombed"by Jan Ryan from Manchester! She was great fun.I hope to do some more items for this blog very soon.

There were many marvellous moments in the week which was titled "The Overall Sovereign Plan Of God For The World And Our Personal Plan And How To Discover It". The whole event was recorded and details will follow soon on how you can purchase the CD's, which are great value for money.

More to follow shortly friends, and in the meanwhile may God's Grace be with you. 
AMRIK.

DANIEL 12

Daniel 12 v  1  And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation  even  to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. 2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame  and  everlasting contempt. 3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. 4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book,  even  to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. 5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river. 6 And  one  said to the man clothed in linen, which  was  upon the

HERE IS A SLIGHTLY LONGER AND AMENDED VERSION OF MY TESTIMONY.

Amriks Testimony From childhood I followed the Sikh traditions of my family, which I was expected to pass on to my children. I had no joy and found no comfort in this religion, and yet I had nothing else as I wandered desperately through life wondering what was the point of it all? I had a void and nothing could fill it and I desperately searched for the meaning to life. I turned to yoga and meditation and had mystical experiences, but they didn't change me for the better, they did not give me the peace and understanding I was looking for.  I started visiting my local library looking for knowledge; I read philosophy, history, autobiographies and yet I was none the wiser concerning the deeper issues of life and salvation. Then one day I was in my local library looking at books on alternative medicines and I turned from that section and found myself facing the Holy Bible. I reached out to take hold of it and thoughts came rushing to my mind, this is not for me I have my reli

Passover- Jewish/Easter-Pagan.

Passover- Jewish/Easter-Pagan. Exodus 12 v 1  And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, 2  This month  shall be  unto you the beginning of months: it  shall be  the first month of the year to you. 3  Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth  day  of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of  their  fathers, a lamb for an house: 4  And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take  it  according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. 5  Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take  it  out from the sheep, or from the goats: 6  And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. 7  And they shall take of the blood, and strike  it  on the two side
