Beyond the Grave

Late. A. Rudy Moses. B.Tech. M.B.A

Late Mr. Rudy Moses. B.Tech, M.B.A, who met with a scooter accident on 4.11.2013 and eventually died in a hospital in Bangalore on the 8th.November 2013, was our only son and Bethel's future. He was a general body member of this National NGO. Molly and I are in our 60+ age level and both are diabetic. He was our future, security and bread winner. We expected Rudy to take up the total responsibility of Bethel and the church planting ministries. Bethel ministries and mission work is undertaken by faith in the Living God and His promises. We do not have any missions or church agencies funding us yet. Only hand count friends support Bethel with their sacrificial contributions which are small. 

We were planning to get Rudy married with a Doctor of Medicine, and convert Bethel Campus into a medical mission centre. His marriage would have taken place in the early months of 2014, before the passover lent days. His and our dreams are now shattered. Our son could have been saved if some one came forward to rush him to a hospital. And he should have been provided a "Ventilator" and "Oxygen mask". He died because no one seriously cared to show him compassion and care. We were 525 kilo meters away as I had a preaching engagement in the "Apostolic Church" in Gudalur, Ooty and the dedication of our 1st grandson.

How ever we prayer fully and with the guidance of very senior servants of the Lord, decided to go for a fundraising as.."Rudy's Memorial Fund". We will use it for three important projects.

1.  We will provide grants to accident victim who are from very poor family background, no
     matter from which family, community and creed they come  from.

2. We will provide 5 yearly scholarships to 5 young people to persuade university and technical
    training. 

3.  We will provide, counseling,  rehabilitation and job training to those who are addicted to
     alcohol and other drugs-addicted.

I come to you in the name of Jesus the Lord, and request that you contribute generously to this noble cause. You may contribute from 5$ to 5 Million dollars. Bethel is a God centered national NGO and is accountability oriented with tax exemption. We will issue on the spot receipt to every single donation we receive. And our humble request to you is that you may kindly pray for us and the ministry we endeavor for the Lord. We will be extremely grateful, if you can spread the news with your friends, community and church members,.

Dear Brothers, Sisters and Friends,

The shocking news to many of you is the death of our only dear son A. Rudi Moses. B.Tech, M.B.A., who was 26 years of age and he was working with HDFC. On the 4th of November-2013, he was thrown of the scooter, sustained head-injury. We were all 475 kilometers away. He died on the 8th/November-2013. We are seriously hurt, as we love and serve the Lord very seriously and very dearly. We seek His holy presence every minute and live praying. We are His servants and served thousands; hosting, giving, and ministering. Yet, there were no indications, warnings, dreams or word that He will allow such a tragedy in the life of Molly and our entire family. Molly and I are now Orphans.

Thank You Friends:

We thank all of You and in particular, to those who sent messages of encouragement and condolence messages. “…And weep with them that weep”—(Ro.12:15). Our humble request is asking for your prayers. Just 2 friends sent donations to meet funeral expenses. Molly and I bow our heads and thank them for their “Sensitivity” in times of our great need. I know that the Lord will abundantly bless and reward them manifold.

Our Future And Bethel Ministries:

Dear friends, nothing will separate us from the love of Eternal, Triune God. Even if he would kill us, we will just say, “Praise the Lord! We will take deep roots in Jesus and plunge into His everlasting love and grace.

We Need Sons:

Are we out of mind? you may ask!  Hanging on the cross and slowly dying, Jesus looked at His dear mother, totally broken and weeping in great anguish. “Mother! behold Your Son”! He charged. A care taker son was given to mother Mary. We had dreams and a vision for Rudy our son. Till we both die, he would have supported us and cared us. Jesus is going to give us sons of his choice. We are taking His Kingdom to the people who do not yet know Him as the only Saviour and Lord.

“Distributing to the necessities of saints; given to hospitality” (Romans.12:13). We will be grateful to you and we will bless you and will pray for you. We will use your alms and supports in taking the Gospel to the unreached and to help, bare-foot pastors and evangelists who are struggling to survive.

DECEMBER EVENTS AND NEEDS

1. There will be a thanks giving and condolence prayer meeting on 22.12.2013 evening. and

     we expect nearly 350 from the community of Pastors, friends, relatives and others. This

     will be yet another opportunity and extraordinary exposition from God’s word. Pray for

      the anointing and the move of the Holy Spirit. YOU ARE WELCOME! to join and glorify

      the name of the Lord Our Eternal God! Molly and I host a dinner for all our guest. Ask 

      the Lord to provide the needs.

2.   On the same day, 22.12.2013- we will celebrate our Christmas with our new churches.

      We are asking the Lord to provide us funds to distribute new dress and warm blankets

      to 50 Old Aged persons  who desperately need help.

3.   Remember Bethel in your prayers daily. There are enemies in the high sky, and there

      are enemies in the mantle of Evangelists and Pastors. I remember no one incident of

      accusing and slandering, lying and fabricating. falls on any individual. If there are

      issues, I will settle it face to face just once.

4.   Ask the Lord to raise “PRAYING PARTNERS” who are kingdom minded.

We love you and we are in prayer for you!

Thanking You!

Sincerely,

Rev.Dass.T

Two Famous Men with a Dead Body

Two Famous men with a Dead-body

These two persons we find in the concluding chapters of 4 gospels-(Mt: 27:57-60, Mk.15:45-47, Luke.23:50-53, Jn.19:38-42), were no, ordinary persons. The above scriptures tells us that Mr. Joseph from the town of “Arimathea “was a rich man, a member of “Sanhedrin”- a 70 member counsel, to which the High Priest was the president. -----These are the people who crucified and killed Jesus. He was a secret disciple of Jesus and the one waited for the kingdom of God. And the 2nd gentle man was, “Rev. Nicodemus”, the old aged Jewish Rabbi, who came to Jesus in the night asking for the “Eternal Life”. He too was a member of “Sanhedrin”, and a secret disciple of Jesus Christ.

Unique Representatives:

It was a time that Jesus was left alone as a dead body. Apostle, Peter, the Chief of staff, -who assured Jesus that he would die with Jesus, if takes to, -denied, cursed and fled the scene. Another left his cloth and ran away naked. THE BODY OF JESUS WAS STILL HANGING ON THE CROSS. The Roman Governor still held the authority over the dead body. You can re call how satan had disputed with the “Arc angel Michael” with the body of Moses? “Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.”(Jude.Vs6)  Jesus and the other 2 thieves were capital criminals. Now they were hanged on Golgotha hill top. Their bodies will be left there and the vultures and other flesh eating birds will eat their flesh and the decayed bodies will fall off one by one and finally the bones and then the tree itself. Joseph of Arimathea went to Governor Pilot and asked for the body of Jesus to be given unto him? Is this what a “Rich” Jewish” a member of Sanhedrin would wish to possess A dead body of a “cursed sinner on the Cross”? MR. JOSEPH knew what the entire world did not know! He knew that Jesus was the “Son of the most high God” and the “King of Kings and the

Lord of Lords. This was the appointed time for these two men to publically let the world know that they were one of His. In the time of crises, they came out boldly and served Jesus!  The body of Christ—the church-is in hospital, in prison, naked, hunger and thirsty. TRUE DISCIPLESHIP IS SERVING IN CRISES.

Your Cause will be represented too:

Are you aware that “The body of Christ” is still on Earth? Yes! Everyone who have put their trust in Jesus, as their Lord and Saviour, from every kindred, and nations of this world is the “Body of Christ”. And we are “minorities” under the rule of the prince of this world. Every one of us has issues and battles. Some have unemployment issues, some need financial break through, Some need jobs and others promotions. Some are praying for their own houses. Some are fighting court cases. When you are in trouble and in desperate need, all your friends—even the most trusted very close friends- will runaway and flee from you alone. Do not worry! unless they are removed  from the scene and from your life, you cannot come in contact with persons, God had ordained, for this hour of your need!

God the father our Almighty God had prepared these two individuals, just for this UNIQUE mission AND MINISTRY. The entire apostle and the sympathizers dared not to go to “Pilot” and they had status problem. Since these 2 come from “Sanhedrin”, they had free access to the throne of an earthly king. This was their destiny. The almighty God who placed Joseph the young slave and promoted him as the “Prime minister of Egypt, to save His People from famine and Perishing is the same God whom we serve. In our hopeless situation and in our need to represent our causes, the Lord Our God has “Top level” personalities to plead your cause! Satan will be put to shame. He will be defeated.

Unique Mission:

These 2 climbed the mountains and reached Golgotha.  They carefully  brought down the body of Jesus from the cross…..Remember, the bodies of 2 thieves were left for the vultures of the air—Rev.  Nicodemus purchased 100 pounds( 45 kilos of spices) and Mr. Joseph provided the fine linen. Cloth. And they wrapped the body of Jesus and laid the body in the tomb, which Mr. Joseph of Arimathea  had prepared for himself. Here again, we see the “mode and the conduct of Christian Burial”. They did not simply throw it in a cave or pit. They used various kinds of Spices and clean linen cloth.

This is true discipleship and these are kingdom people.“O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; ³But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.(Psalm.16:2-3)

These two were willing to “Spend” funds towards His burial. DISCIPLESHIP COSTS. And this is bitter to many so called disciples. I know many pastors and evangelists who will never give a penny as tithe. Giving alms to poor never happens in their lives. They always want to receive, receive and receive. I AM A GIVER AND GIVE TILL I DO NOT HAVE. And it is a joy. I am giving to the Living God. These two were not giving to a dead body they were giving it to Jesus. Mother Mary Gave birth to Jesus, and these two gave the burial to Jesus. Heaven will acknowledge these two missions equally. Burial has so many future issues.

The “Church” –es in rural India is a part and member of the “ONE BODY”. Pray for the work of God and extend your support.

Why Christian Burial is a Must and Important?

Satan’s clever plan was that the body of Jesus should not be buried. If he would stop the burial of the body of Jesus;, then the “THE RESURRECTION WILL NEVER TAKE PLACE”. Just imagine that we are born, live as we like, --since there is no salvation- and die. Imagine there is no resurrection and we will be eternally in Satan’s kingdom! Yes! every single one of us.

The burial of the body of Jesus is, burying eternally, the satanic power, rule, dominion and all evil. In Romans Chapter 6 Apostle Paul teaches us of the Spiritual issues of Jesus death burial and resurrection. In, 1.Cor.chapter15 Paul once again teaches the issues of Jesus’ death, and resurrection and it’s implication to our life now and eternally.

For these Two, it was a small act of burying the Body of Christ and they had no knowledge of it’s eternal Implications that would bring eternally, after Jesus had risen again. It may be one glass of water but it’s eternal Implication will be manifold. Our discipleship will stand out and will be recorded in His Holy Scrolls. Generations will be blessed by your small “Seed Act of Service”.!

Amen!
