MY (Lilian's) EXPERIENCE IN THE (NSWC) AUSTRALIA

Our Father In Heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, and thy will be done,
on earth, as it is in heaven.   Church Presentation by TEAR Australia

The wonderful theme "As It Is In Heaven" has been used in the New South Wales Conference (NSWC) especially bringing the Christians of Australia to understand their individual responsibility of doing God's will, thus bringing his kingdom on earth.

PEP has been blessed by becoming a part of the NSWC that took place in Australia in July 2016.  This special conference is arranged after every 2 years to encourage and inspire all the different groups who are involved in supporting TEAR Australia.

​Lilian Charles (Miss Lilian) the Coordinator of Primary Education Project was humbly invited to take up the opportunity to attend the (NSWC) and share the testimony of her leadership, and bringing transformational stories of communities of rural Sindh.

​As you read her testimony, you will realize that God has a special calling for each who he has chosen.

​HOW DID (NSWC) HELP STRENGTHEN MY FAITH?

​In the midst of all important errands time became crucial for me, but I never expected God to lead me in to situation that would involve ministering to many of his people in Australia. God helped me far beyond my capacity and used me to share the life changing stories of the communities through education in rural Sindh. I felt sharing a fragment of His kingdom with all people.

​WHAT WAS THE SESSION "LIFE OF LEARNING" ABOUT:
 
The session theme "Life Of Learning" revolves around a few important personal thoughts. I believe every work is an opportunity to learn something new. Every worker at the PEP platform is encouraged to believe that we are all leaders and we can accomplish anything if there an attitude of learning.
 
The testimonies of the PEP beneficiaries "Sangeeta" and "Reema" are two such stories that portray  a life of learning and have resulted in developed confidence and courage in their personal lives. Every student that has studied from a PEP school has a personal story to tell. You will read stories of great courage in the midst of opposition, becoming change agents for one's own community, educating lives for a better tomorrow, and transformation of individual lives. All these stories indicate that people have followed constant learning and molding that is required for living a fruitful life. 

​My own story has had a similar journey, and the 20 years of experience with PEP was a time of learning and growing each day, until I transformed completely.
 
    A verse close to my heart:
“Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, Israel." Jeremiah 18: 6
 
We are all in God's hands, and he shapes our life in the most beautiful sculpture for his glory. ​We are all in God's hands, and he shapes our life in the most beautiful sculpture for his glory.
 
Working all these years for the communities in rural Sindh made me realize that it doesn't matter who you are, or where you are. What matters is, what you are able to do. Is what you are doing making any difference in your life, transforming you, or your surroundings?

​WHAT IS THE THEME "AS IT IS IN HEAVEN" FOR PRIMARY EDUCATION PROJECT:
 
The ministry of Primary Education Project is to share the kingdom of God with his people regardless of caste or ethnicity. The PEP schools are like seeds planted in villages for the hope of reaping out a great harvest in the form of educated children and communities.
 
Through our project we long to provide justice, peace, and the opportunity for people to grow in their own space. PEP has a personal theme, "You are the light of the world" which indicates that we are to be like a reflection of God's kingdom on earth, and fulfilling God's purpose on earth, as it is in heaven.
