Batsmen who don't bowl, bowlers that can't bat

A series that was expected to be a no-contest has suddenly turned on its head, and finds itself levelled. One way or the other, this one will only be decided after the final game, at Thiruvananthapuram.

India, as they stand with their recent ODI credentials, might enter the World Cup as one of the favourites alongside England. For now, barring a couple of places in the XI – No 4 and No 6 – all the other spots would appear sealed.

The only constant after three different results in the series has been a Virat Kohli hundred. Chasing a target of 284 in Pune, Kohli cracked his 38th ODI ton but India still found themselves short of Windies’ total by 43 runs. The hosts had put up possibly their best ‘available’ side on the field on Saturday but were left to rue the balance of the team composition.

To believe that India are over-reliant on Kohli will be naive. But the defeat, with only 15 more games left before next year’s marquee event, has come as a much-needed alarm. And that the challenge against a Windies side missing several first-choice picks has become so stiff would leave them with needing to answer questions that were best avoided in victories.

The loss in Pune was reflective of the poor secondary skill-sets of the squad than anything else.

We’re not talking about all-rounders – which is a highly specialised skill-set. It’s only about players who come into the side for their primary skill, but are handy with their secondary skill-set.

Bowlers who can’t bat

Barring Bhuvneshwar Kumar, India don’t have a bowler who can offer anything with the bat. Like in the case of the side in the third ODI, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Khaleel Ahmed and Jasprit Bumrah followed Bhuvneshwar in the batting order and the five of them together managed all of 31 runs. If they are unable to hone their skills with the bat even a little, India will continue to find themselves in a mess every time they are six wickets down.

Incidentally, it was the inclusion of Bhuvneshwar that allowed India to play their best bowling attack. In the first two games, to maintain balance, India had to bring in Ravindra Jadeja and compromise on their ‘best available bowling attack’

At a time when teams like England, South Africa, New Zealand and South Africa have players who can bat reasonably well till No. 10 and 11, India find themselves ending their defiance with their No. 7.

Kohli admitted there was a need to quickly address this issue of balance. “When someone like Hardik is not playing, who gives you both bowling and batting option, it is difficult to get the balance. Kedar comes into the side in the next game, that’ll give us the balance and depth in the batting. You will always drift to one side when you don’t have the balance,” he said,

Pandya’s inclusion will push Bhuvneshwar a spot below, but to have three traditional tail enders isn’t a luxury that power-punching limited-overs cricket is offering these days.

The pressure of a feeble lower-order not only breaks the flow of the frontline batsman, who has to be cautious and shepherd while batting alongside them, but also on the middle order, that has to be wary of attacking.

The matter is of some serious concern especially because beyond Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and Kohli, the rest of the batting line-up is yet to display any kind of consistency. Ambati Rayudu is still to cement his spot, MS Dhoni is out of form and no one is making a strong case for No 6. While Jadhav hasn’t done too much wrong with the bat, the fact that his demand in the side comes for his secondary asset more than his first, is worrying.

The issue doesn’t end with the national team. There aren’t too many bowlers in the ‘A’ side either who can bat either. Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel are two of the closest options but they are unlikely to find a place in the XI, unless there are injuries.

Batsmen that don’t bowl

A decade ago, India had the simultaneous services of Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Virender Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh. Not only were they handy part-timers, all with different styles of bowling, but were also decent enough to bowl 10 overs on good days.

At the moment, Kedar Jadhav and Suresh Raina are India’s best options among batsmen who can bowl. But there are two issues with them. Primary of them is that, they are a liability with one of their skills. Jadhav on the field and Raina (unfortunately) with the bat. Neither of them will be able to cut through in the side on the basis of their primary ability.

None of the batsmen in the current squad – in the XI or in the reserves – can bowl to fill in overs. The issue runs deep, far beyond the upcoming World Cup. With both Jadhav and Raina in the 30s, the gen-next also doesn’t have batters bowling too often – Prithvi Shaw, Mayank Agarwal, Shreyas Iyer, Karun Nair, Ankeet Bawne. And for as much as was made of Hanuma Vihari’s inclusion in his maiden Test as an all-rounder, he is still less than a part-timer.

While this deficiency hasn’t come to impact them thus far, they would be better off protecting themselves against it. If one of the five frontline bowlers has a bad day or one of them gets injured, they don’t have an option to fill up.

The advantage of having an additional bowling option in this side never received greater validation than in a recent Asia Cup clash against Pakistan. There Jadhav bowled nine overs and took 3 wickets after Hardik Pandya injured himself in his fifth over.

Fielding Personnel

In the early overs of the game, India found themselves fielding Chahal, Kuldeep, Rishabh Pant, Rayudu and Kohli in the inner ring to save singles. Bar the last two, it was a less than ordinary set of personnel, who were struggling to cut through the arcs swiftly. It was to their luck that Windies didn’t try taking advantage of the situation. Against better sides, India will be tested, put under pressure and probably induce the ire of their captain.

Kohli has gone on record raving about India’s improved fielding standards, starting with what was on offer during their 2013 Champions Trophy winning campaign. Even in the previous World Cup, they had extremely high fielding standards in the form of Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jadeja, Suresh Raina to give company to Kohli and Rohit Sharma in manning the inner ring, while Mohit Sharma and Umesh Yadav served as fine boundary riders.

In the current side, all the player have gotten opportunities on the basis of their main skill. But they will need to add to their arsenal in order to avoid such failures in the future, and match with their counterparts.

Currently, with the likes of Bumrah, Chahal and Kuldeep making it to the side on the basis of their strong bowling credibility, their failings in the other department has been overlooked. Pant, for as long as Dhoni is playing, will continue to be a liability as a pure fielder (and for no real fault of his) unless there is a dramatic improvement.

India have already failed to win two of their last three games against what is a near ‘A’ team of the Windies. Kohli would be aware that against tougher oppositions, these drawbacks would be cashed in and stretched.

More about the Royal Liverpool Golf Club

In 1869 when the idea of Royal Liverpool Golf Club came out, the sight on which there is a golf course now was a racecourse of the Liverpool Hunt Club and the Duke of Connaught had given the patronage to the racecourse as well. In the year 1971 one of the younger sons of Queen Victoria, Robert Chambers was commissioned to lay out a new golf course on the sight with the help of Harry Colt who was then the leading architect of the golf courses in the world. Since then the golf course has been renovated quite a number of time but has kept its originality.

The Royal Liverpool Golf Club has many firsts in its distinguished history. It was the first golf course which hosted men’s amateur championship in the year 1885. The course also became the first course to host a team match between the golfers from Scotland and England. The first trans-Atlantic contest between Great Britain, Ireland and the USA was also held here in the year 1921.

The Royal Liverpool Golf Club is more known for the amateur golfer’s paradise as it has hosted and supported so many amateur golfing tournaments over the years. For the golfers the mighty winds are always the thing to look for when they are here to play some serious golf. Mostly the golf course is known for being the faster one and having level fairways and greens but the holes which are nearby to the coast have some sandhills as well.

Special Report

The Platinum Opportunity - Part 2

Authored by Shree Kargutkar, Portfolio Manager, Sprott Asset Management LP

This is Part 2 in our series focused on platinum. Here we explore the unique supply-demand fundamentals that support our bullish outlook on platinum. Part 1 serves as a primer on platinum.

Platinum is Too Cheap to Ignore

If you’ve been scratching your head over the divergence in price between platinum and palladium, you’re not alone. Although we have favored palladium over platinum since 2012, we never expected palladium ($1,135) to be priced at a premium to platinum ($832), or for platinum to be trading at a nearly $400/oz discount to gold ($1,234)1. The primary culprit for platinum’s continued price weakness has been the negative impact of the diesel emissions scandal ("dieselgate"), as we discussed in Part 1.

At the time of this writing, you could purchase approximately three ounces of platinum for two ounces of gold. Platinum is trading well under the 1.0 platinum-to-gold ratio that is considered the historical norm, and which we have not seen since 2015. The current ratio of 0.67:1.0 means platinum is currently a bargain: an ounce of platinum is selling at 67% the price of an ounce of gold.

Platinum’s low price is not a reflection of lack of demand. As we explored in Part 1, platinum is not only an important investment asset, it is used in multiple industries and overall demand remains robust. Platinum supply continues to remain tight, and demand has outstripped supply in five of the past six years. With platinum supply under great pressure, we think that platinum has become too cheap to ignore.

Platinum’s Supply Demand Imbalance

We have not been alone in observing the imbalance of supply and demand in platinum over the past six years. The size of above ground platinum stockpiles plugging the supply demand hole has been a hot topic at many commodity-focused events in recent years. While there has been plenty of speculation, very little data had been previously available, as not much analysis has been done on this issue. Unsurprisingly, the combination of rumor-mongering and the metaphorical broken telephone have a habit of making a mountain out of a molehill. The rumored estimate of the mysterious above-ground saleable platinum kept growing from 2012 into 2016. What was initially thought to be a 6 million ounce stockpile in 2012 grew to 10 million ounces in 2017 based on one industry anecdote.

How else could platinum prices continue to sharply decline between 2012 and 2017 when industry watchers such as World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC)and Johnson Matthey (JM) continued to report deficits as large as 720,000 ounces? We had heard similar rumors holding back the price of palladium in the early part of the decade. Russia had been selling its palladium stockpile to plug the deficit in the market at that time and the size of the Russian stock was prone to great exaggeration. As the Russian stockpile reached low levels, in late 2016 based on the sales we tracked through Switzerland, the price of palladium began appreciating rapidly as demand was outstripping supply. Thanks to the research done by the WPIC we now have a reasonable answer to the above-ground stock of saleable platinum. As Figure 2 shows, the above-ground stockpile is close to being exhausted.

Several astute, plugged-in investors have been aware of the issues plaguing platinum mines in South Africa, which account for almost 75% of global platinum production. Platinum bearing ores in South Africa are primarily mined from the Merensky Reef and the upper group 2 (UG-2) ore bodies in the Bushveld Igneous Complex (BIC). Both the Merensky and UG-2 ore bodies are too narrow to be mined using mechanized mining equipment. An immense amount of human labor is required to extract these ores. The mines have never had a great track record of safety due to the combination of poor infrastructure and weak enforcement of safety protocols. It is not uncommon to have workers who may be intoxicated, who may have drugs in their system or who may be sick, working underground in 110F+ heat. It comes as no surprise that with every injury or death, workers demand higher wages for risking life and limb.

Platinum Miners Unprepared for Increased Demand

Strikes occur annually and mine output is often affected. Every year, labor unions make outrageous demands and typically settle for a high single-digit wage increase. There have been years when strikes have persisted far longer than expected. 2014 was a particularly tough year, which saw large-scale strikes which lasted for five months. That year, South Africa’s platinum production contracted 16% versus 2013. The real impact of wage increases have partially been offset by inflation in South Africa.

As the price of platinum has faltered over the better part of the decade, and wages have increased, platinum miners have had to make some tough financial decisions. Investments needed to sustain output have declined, as have investments to increase output. Simply put, platinum miners are unprepared for an increase in demand. Equity investors in South Africa’s platinum sector have taken it on the chin. Previously high-flying platinum mining companies such as Lonmin, which accounts for almost 17% of South Africa’s platinum output have seen their share prices decline by 99% over the past five years. It is easy to understand why investors have been turned away from this space.

Why has Platinum Production Remained Resilient in the Face of Lower Platinum Prices?

Anyone reading about the platinum mining industry in South Africa will learn that the supply of platinum is declining. Production has slowly dropped since peaking in 2006, however, the declines have been quite modest. Sociopolitical factors, strong palladium prices and South African Rand weakness are the three key factors at play here and they deserve to be examined.

South Africa Ranks as Africa’s Wealthiest Economy

South Africa’s rise to becoming Africa’s wealthiest economy has been driven by its rich history of mining. Gold, diamonds, platinum and coal have all been mined in South Africa for decades, which in turn has driven its economic development. However, there still exists a vast divide between the wealthy and the poor today.

While there is a growing number of educated, highly skilled blacks in South Africa, the impact of Apartheid which began in 1948 and ended in 1995 continues to be felt today. The economic mishandling under Jacob Zuma has resulted in high inflation, high levels of violent crime and high unemployment. The latter is of particular concern because with today’s unemployment level hovering around 27% and almost 500,000 South Africans employed by the mining sector, the social cost of laying off workers is astronomical.

Figure 4: South Africa’s Rising Unemployment Rate (2008-2018)

Source: Bloomberg.

According to the Minerals Council of South Africa, each worker employed in a South African mine has nine dependents. As recently as 2012, the government has gone so far as to threaten to take away the mining licenses of companies deemed to be “misrepresenting their intentions.” This threat came after Anglo American Platinum (Amplats), one of the world’s largest mining companies, submitted a proposal to mothball portions of its Rustenburg operations at the cost of 14,000 jobs.

Uneconomic mines, which would be closed in most countries, continue to be operated in South Africa and will likely continue to do so until the operating companies go bankrupt, or until the unemployment rate improves.

Rising Palladium and Rhodium Prices Provide Support

Strong palladium prices have been a godsend to South African platinum miners. Like many other metals, platinum occurs in the ground in combination with palladium, rhodium and gold. This basket of precious metals is mined as a single unit out of the ground in South Africa and across the world.

South African mines are the only mines known to produce a higher content of platinum versus palladium, whereas, virtually all other known ore bodies have a higher concentration of palladium over platinum. On a rather simplistic basis, a single unit of ore in South African mines contains approximately 58% platinum, 32% palladium, 8% rhodium and 2% gold by volume. This means that a drop in platinum can be offset if the price of palladium or rhodium rises sufficiently. Platinum prices have declined by almost 40% in the past five years, while the price of gold has held steady. Palladium has gained 35%. Rhodium has appreciated by a whopping 225% in the same period. As platinum prices have collapsed by 40% over the past five years, the impact has been buffered by rising palladium and rhodium prices. The Platinum Group Metals (PGM) basket price has declined by under 20% in the same period.

Figure 5: PGM Basket Prices in USD (10/2013-10/2018)

Source: Bloomberg. Data as of 10/23/2018.

Thus far, we have been analyzing the data through the lens of the U.S. dollar. At the ground level, a majority of the costs are measured in South Africa’s local currency, the Rand. The South African economy remains weak and has long been plagued by the twin ravages of high unemployment and high inflation, which has naturally led to a decline in the Rand. In the past five years alone, the Rand has lost nearly 25% of its value to the U.S. Dollar.

Figure 6: The South African Rand Remains Weak vs. U.S. Dollar (2013-2018)

Source: Bloomberg.

The Rand’s weakness has been a small blessing for South African miners, but this is not saying much given their shockingly bad share price performance. The miners’ largest cost is labor, which accounts for about 60% of total expenses. Due to the drop in the Rand, even with platinum dropping 40% in USD terms, the revenues earned by the miners have increased by more than 10% per unit of volume over the past five years.

Figure 7: PGM Basket Prices in Rand Terms

Source: Bloomberg.

Unfortunately, the small problems in the platinum mining space have become large problems over time. Labor costs continue to increase at a faster rate than the Rand has weakened. Access to electricity has remained challenging. The socioeconomic situation in South Africa has continued to deteriorate. Investments to sustain mine production have been declining. The balance sheets of virtually all African PGM miners, except for Amplats, are stretched to the point of breaking. Companies such as Lonmin, which is unable to operate on its own, are being absorbed into other entities. According to our research, almost 50%  of platinum mining in South Africa and neighboring Zimbabwe is now uneconomic.

In 2020, JP Morgan estimates that 55% of the PGM miners will be uneconomic at the current PGM basket price. Unless platinum prices rise materially, 1.7 million ounces of platinum supply, almost 30% of the global mine supply is at a threat of being turned off.

With above-ground stocks close to depletion and a majority of mined supply at uneconomic levels, we can only reach one conclusion: Platinum is too cheap to ignore.

An Advocate for Families: Dakoda Foxx

Parent & Family Engagement | 06/28/2018

Katie Gustainis
Marketing & Communications Manager, Stand for Children Washington

 “My motto is that when you help a parent, you help a child. I want to help parents.”

While living in Tacoma, Dakoda Foxx has raised three daughters, served as a volunteer with Stand for Children, and – as of last week – earned her second Associates degree.

Since it’s graduation month in Washington, we’re celebrating the accomplishments of our Stand family. When one of us succeeds, we can all share in that joy.

Dakoda is originally from Virginia but has lived in Tacoma since 2001. Her daughters grew up here and went to school in nearby Puyallup.

In 2014, she graduated from Pierce College with her first Associates in Criminal Justice.

“I’d been working with kids as a CASA advocate and my focus has always been on helping families, especially kids who are taken away from their parents. My advisor at Pierce suggested that I could do even more if I went for my paralegal certificate.”

And so she has. Last week Dakoda graduated from Tacoma Community College with her Paralegal Associate in Applied Sciences. But she’s not done yet.

“Next I’m working toward my LLLT certification [Limited License Legal Technician]. I’m taking the summer off and getting back to it in the fall. When I’m done I’ll be opening my own legal practice and focusing on helping families.”

Dakoda has been a volunteer parent member with Stand for Children since 2014. “I like what Stand for Children does and what we stand for. That’s why I’m so involved.”

She is a constant presence at Stand’s parent workshops and family events. Dakoda also frequently visits Olympia to speak about education policy and to meet with legislators. She has written letters to the editors of local papers and sent many messages to state lawmakers.

“My favorite part of advocacy is the seeing the face of a kid when they know you’ve done something positive for them,” she says.

When it comes to prioritizing solutions to improve our schools, it’s clear to Dakoda where our focus needs to be. “The most important thing we can do for education is to help parents get on the right track, and then they’re able to help their children. Kids need to have basic needs met at home before they can learn, grow, strive and dream for something more.”

As a member of the Stand family, we want to publicly congratulate Dakoda on her accomplishments and say thank you for all your hard work on behalf of Washington’s kids.

Thanks to Dakoda and other volunteers like her, Stand for Children will continue to support families and students in achieving their dreams.

Benefits Of High-Efficiency Music Amps

Stereo amps are going to naturally squander a certain level of energy they use up. This may contribute to some issues: Amplifiers that have lower power efficiency will waste a certain amount of power. It is smart to be aware of the added energy expense while choosing between a high- and low-efficiency product. The squandered energy is radiated by the amp as heat. Heat doesn't dissipate effectively through tiny surfaces. In addition, due to the large amount of heat, there is going to be considerably greater thermal stress on the electric components as well as internal materials that might cause reliability complications. Power efficiency is often shown in percent. Getting an amp having an efficiency of 90% for example shows that 10% of the power that is utilized is squandered whilst 90% will be audio power.

Amps possess larger efficiency while supplying greater output power than when working at low power mainly because of the fixed energy that they consume irrespective of the output power. The measurement setup of amplifier power efficiency employs a power resistor which is attached to the amplifier. Then the power consumed by the resistor is measured and divided by the energy the amplifier uses. Switching-mode small audio amps employ a switching stage which causes some amount of non-linear behavior. Some more sophisticated audio amplifier models, including Class-T amplifiers, can reduce audio distortion to amounts close to the ones from analog music amplifiers and in addition can achieve great signal-to-noise ratio.

Property as investment vehicle - Part 2

In the preceding article, we have discussed the use of property as an investment vehicle for creating wealth. However the more considerable question is whether property features as a better investment vehicle than other asset class investments, such as, shares.

We are not here to provide a list of pros and cons of property investment when compared to shares. We will cut to the chase by identifying the most significant advantage and disadvantage of property investing over other investment alternatives and develop these in further detail.

[ Blogger note: There is abundance of information available on the web regarding the pros and cons of investing in property and shares. ]

The biggest win that direct property investment has over other investment alternatives including shares is the leveraging capacity in the property we currently hold for future investments. The equity gain in property by means of capital growth can be utilised as a deposit to assist in funding our next investment property purchase.

The major drawback for direct property investment is the fact that property is an illiquid asset class which cannot easily be sold or exchanged quickly. In addition, investing in property is commonly perceived as a long term investment in order to substantiate its risk and reward trade-off.

The quality analysis is conducted which measures the overall performance of property and shares on their real returns at a large number of different investment periods over a relatively long period of time. Based on the results collected from this analysis, we can deduce that:

  1. Shares outperform property over a short term period and therefore regarded as a better investment vehicle for short term investors.
  2. Property outgrows shares over a long term period and consequently considered as a superior investment vehicle for long term investors. For an investment period of more than six years, the total rate of return on property investments is generally higher when compared to shares investments.
  3. Prudent investors normally have the utmost intention to diversify their investments portfolio which could be best achieved by spreading and balancing both risks and returns across different asset classes. This would suggest investing in shares with a short term view and property with a long term prospect.

don’t know where to look

don’t know where to look

sometimes i encounter a scene that is so beautiful in its completeness but also so beautiful in all of it’s individual components that i don’t know where to look. i find my gaze wandering almost hungrily, trying to compress the scene into something i can consume all at once, and then, discovering that i can’t, i resume seeking out each beautiful element, and then the next, and then the next, and then the whole again. that happened this morning during a visit to our lake, where my son was fishing in the fog. i thought the photos would be of him in his boat, on flat calm morning water. but the beauty ended up being in the cattails i walked past, etched sculpturally against a white sky. it is very late at night just now, and i have just asked my family to whittle down the “finalists” from an original 23 or so, to about 10, to an enhanced group of  5, to a playoff between a final 2. but really, you should have seen them all.

Fearsome flaviviruses

Although it was identified more than half a century ago, Zika virus’s impact on unborn children of infected pregnant women was only detected in the recent epidemic. Unfortunately, Zika virus may not be unique in its ability to afflict fetal damage. To investigate this possibility, Platt and colleagues infected pregnant immunocompetent mice with related viruses. Two other flaviruses, West Nile virus and Powassan virus, caused fetal demise. These viruses could also replicate in human maternal and fetal explant tissue. If these or other neurotropic flaviviruses take off in the human population, then we may again experience congenital infections with devastating effects.

Although Zika virus (ZIKV) infection in pregnant women can cause placental damage, intrauterine growth restriction, microcephaly, and fetal demise, these disease manifestations only became apparent in the context of a large epidemic in the Americas. We hypothesized that ZIKV is not unique among arboviruses in its ability to cause congenital infection. To evaluate this, we tested the capacity of four emerging arboviruses [West Nile virus (WNV), Powassan virus (POWV), chikungunya virus (CHIKV), and Mayaro virus (MAYV)] from related (flavivirus) and unrelated (alphavirus) genera to infect the placenta and fetus in immunocompetent, wild-type mice. Although all four viruses caused placental infection, only infection with the neurotropic flaviviruses (WNV and POWV) resulted in fetal demise. WNV and POWV also replicated efficiently in second-trimester human maternal (decidua) and fetal (chorionic villi and fetal membrane) explants, whereas CHIKV and MAYV replicated less efficiently. In mice, RNA in situ hybridization and histopathological analysis revealed that WNV infected the placenta and fetal central nervous system, causing injury to the developing brain. In comparison, CHIKV and MAYV did not cause substantive placental or fetal damage despite evidence of vertical transmission. On the basis of the susceptibility of human maternal and fetal tissue explants and pathogenesis experiments in immunocompetent mice, other emerging neurotropic flaviviruses may share with ZIKV the capacity for transplacental transmission, as well as subsequent infection and injury to the developing fetus.

  1. One of the easiest guides I've ever used. 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 18th Nov 2017

    It is hard to find leader's/facilitator's guides that I don't have to immediately modify for our youth group. This guide is easy to use with questions that are appropriate both to the material and to the age of our group. I also really like the summaries--an episode summary and then summaries for each segment within the episode.

Our Story......

    St. Peter's Church celebrated her Golden Jubilee in October 1997. The church started with 15 members in 1947 to 250 in 1987 and 760 in 2000.She has a present membership of 900.

    The introduction of Church renewal was at a camp in 1975 when Rev. Peter Young was invited by Rev. Lim Cheng Ean (now Bishop) to speak on the Holy Spirit. In 1985, Rev. Andrew Phang (now Archdeacon) and some of the leaders were touched by the Holy Spirit. He was succeeded by Rev. Ng Moon Hing who continued to move with the Holy Spirit. Anointed preachers were invited for revival meetings and family camps. Within a few years the majority of the leaders were spirit-filled.
    Church membership and Sunday attendance began to take off in 1993-94. The revival has led to greater efforts into evangelism and pre-evangelism activities. Every programme of the church was directed to our friends and relatives. Parents Day lunch was held in the restaurant. During the Christmas season, all the neighbours were invited to attend the Open House at the church with a tea-party followed by a lively concert. Carolling teams only visited homes if they were prepared to invite friends as well. The Christmas Eve Dinner became too big to be held at the church as at least half of the 50 tables consist of guests. Evangelistic dinner meetings were held in both English and Chinese. Well-known evangelists such as Rev. Oh Beng Khee were invited. The church and her members were prepared to invest time and money to sow the seeds of the gospel.
    The children and youth ministries were also given equal prominence. The teachers were sent for training and returned with innovative ideas to present the gospel in a more interesting manner. Several special programmes were organised such as parties, concerts, art contests and games to attract children and young people.

Social Concern
    Health talks and screening for cancer and heart disease were arranged by the sisters in addition to cooking competitions and flower-arrangement classes. Tuition classes were started. Other social action activities included distribution of food to the squatters nearby and visits to orang asli kampungs and new villages. An education fund was started. The church took active part in the World Vision 30-Hour Famine and raised nearly RM100,000 in the 4 years it took part. We provided the spiritual food to the handicapped who were looked after by Daybreak for their socioeconomic needs. A Food Fair in 1994 was organised which raised RM34,000 and was donated to Daybreak in the form of a van. Our church was also one of the active supporters of the New Horizons Society for the slow-learning children. On the 1st January 2001, a Food Fair was held to raise fund for the Ray of Hope centre - a centre for children with learning disabilities from age 6 - 14. This centre is situated in Buntong next to St. Augustine's Church. The ROH centre is a joint project of St. Peter's and St. Augustine. RM200,000 was raised at the two Food Fairs in 2001 and 2003 respectively. A second centre of the ROH was launched in 2004 for those of age 14 - 19.

Mission & Evangelism
    The church participated in many of the combined activities with other churches including mass evangelistic crusades at public halls and even at the stadium. Our active participation and cordial relationships with other churches of various denominations not only led to sharing of resources but also a greater appreciation of a church from a traditional denomination.
    For the first time, overseas mission trips to South China and Sumatra were made by the church in 1992. We also send the first short term missionary of the OM Doulos ship. A mission fund was started with an initial target of RM25,000 per year and later increased to RM125,000 in 2005. Mission fests and mission months were organised to highlight the importance of mission. Constant mission trips both locally and abroad are being made annually. The recent mission trips to Thailand, Cambodia, Medan and our Asli kampungs have made meaningful impacts and impressions to our people and those whom we ministered to.

Missionaries & Workers

    The church has placed an emphasis on training her members as missionaries and workers for the harvest field. We had sent out
- Rev. Vincent Lau ( former Vicar of St.Gabriel's, Kuala Lumpur but now in Raphah Ministries),
- Rev. Ng Peng Yoon (former Priest of Good Shephard Church, Johor Bahru but now studying in Dallas USA),
- Rev. Jeremiah Lee (Priest of Church of Epiphany, Kuantan)
- Elisabeth Ng Foong Chan (Mission Worker in Senegal through SIM),
- Soong Hoe Pin (Priest in All Saints' Church Taiping),
- Albert Tang (Priest in Church of Our Redeemer Butterworth)
- Julih Aew (Deaconess in St Mark's Church Butterworth).
There are also 7Chinese workers in the Chinese villages and 4 Asli workers in Asli kampungs.

New Congregations
    By 1992 the average Sunday attendance was about 133, an increase of 20% over 5 years. In 1993, a decision was made to separate the English and Chinese language congregations, although the Chinese-speaking members, being mainly the older and less educated people, were rather apprehensive. The English congregation began to grow first as we were then able to attract jmore people, especially non-Chinese, who were not keen to attend bilingual services. Over the new few years, the children and youth ministries were also separated into the language streams. MacGavran's observation that people worship best in their heart language proved to be true as the total attendance was much higher than before. Just two years after the change, the average Sunday attendance rose to 213 (140 in the English and 73 in the Chinese services) an increase of 60%.
    In 1994, a daughter church, Christ Church was started in Gunung Rapat, a southern suburb of Ipoh and in 1997 another preaching point, Gereja Hallelujah began in the northern area of the city. The church supported Rev. Ng in his efforts to run the AVM (Anglican Village Ministries) from 1993. Over the next 5 years, the number of evangelists has risen to 7, covering 8 new villages where many poor Chinese still live. Soon after, a regular Sunday service was started in Mambang Di-Awan, near Kampar followed by Cold Stream and Air Kuning.A BM congregation was started in St Peter's in 1995, a Mandarin service in 1999, and an extra English service in 2001.

Bahasa Malaysia Ministries
    In the middle of 1994, a Bahasa Malaysia (BM) fellowship was started with the help of a Chinese teacher who had served for 13 years in BM work in Sabah. By January 1995, a full BM service was started with a few USM students from Sarawak and several families from the Police Field Force. Several members from the English congregation offered to help in preaching and stayed with the BM service regularly for two years. During this period, a number of attending rose from 25 to 62. In 1996, a group of Orang Asli Christians, holding a cheque for RM20,000 donated by the Penang Medical Fellowship, approached us to start another church in Gopeng to cover 6 villages. This ministry has gradually extended to 13 villages, to as far as Teluk Intan and Slim River. The BM ministry is a good example of how God begins to open doors as we boldly step out in faith into a new ministry even when we did not feel equipped for the task. God has also provided workers at the opportune time. In the last two years, 85 people were baptised and 98 were confirmed. Now the BM services covers all the Asli kampungs.

Building Extension
    While our emphasis was on building up people, the church building began to feel the pressure of space from the increasing numbers and ministries. In 1993 a new extension was added to the ground floor and in 1997, the hall upstairs was extended to increase the seating capacity from 200 to 400. The church leaders were of one mind that they would look for the financing from their own members. Again God is always faithful. In 1995, while most of the leaders were at the prayer mountain in Korea, an unexpected visit by a wealthy Christian businessman (non-Anglican) in the middle of the heat wave prompted him to cover all the expenses of air-conditioning the church hall, a sum of RM33,000! In 1997, two unsolicited donations of RM100,000 were given to the building fund!
    By 1998, the total Sunday attendance in the 3 congregations in the main church and the 4 daughter churches have risen to nearly 580. Now in 2005, the total Sunday attendence is about 700. This number does not include those at the weekly meetings at the 20 preaching points in the village and kampungs, and Christ Church which is a Missionary District in 2004 and Gereja Charis Cold Stream which is given to St Andrew's Bidor.

Spiritual Growth
    Initially, with only one full-time seminary trained pastor, much of the pastoral and teaching ministries have to be shouldered by lay people, which is certainly the biblical pattern. To equip them, a number of Christian education classes were started. Basic Christianity lessons were provided for those who intend to be baptised. Classes of doctrines and bible knowledge, as well as practical topics like prayer, worship and counselling were taught at three different levels to cater to Christians of varying maturity. The most senior class follow the ICI University syllabus leading to college degree and is attended by members from other churches as well. Special seminars on Life in the Spirit, spiritual gifts, evangelism and how to pray for healing were organised. Even classes on understanding other religions especially on Islam were arranged. Different classes were held for the youths and children. Now with a few theologically trained workers we have launched the Theological Education by Extension courses in Ipoh. A few have graduated with certificates.
    Prayer are emphasised, not only at the weekly prayer meetings, but also in the home-cells and during or after services. Special healing meetings were introduced too..

    As the church gets bigger, pastoral and discipling needs are difficult to be met. Although the church had home meetings before they tend to be Bible study groups. In 1994, we decided to adopt the home cell system. Several leaders attended seminars in K.L. and Singapore and began to revamp the home cells. Starting from 2 cells, one in English and one in Chinese, the number of home cells has grown to 34, distributed by geographical areas. The youth cells have not caught on and we have yet to start with the children. In 1997, the teams from Our Saviour's Church from Singapore were invited to condcut a Home Cell Conference in both English and Chinese which was open to other churches in Ipoh. Much of the leadership training was done in-house, using resource materials from FSBC and OSC.
    Topics covered at home cells focus on practical life-related issues such as family relationships, handling of money, work, character and emotions. General issues such as AIDS and environment were also dealt with. The home cell system is not only true to the New Testament but also provides a comprehensive Christan lifestyle that falls into several arenas such as the celebration for rejoicing, congregation for fellowship, and the cell for personal contacts, and reaching out to the community. The four aims of Edification, Evangelism, Equipping and Expansion of leadership provide ample opportunities for all members to be involved. The cell agenda follow the 4 W's, that is Welcome, Worship, Word and Works. As we are still transitioning into the cell church system, the concept is yet to be fully developed. At present about 70% of the adult members are active in the home cells. The Alpha Course has taken off ground in 2002. It has successfully reached out to many people. We are now doing it in English and Chinese with the Adults and the youth.

    The annual giving has risen from RM11,000 in 1977 to RM77,000 in 1987, to RM230,000 in 1997, and to RM500,000 in 2004 which is the highest in the Lower North Archdeaconary. During the last 10 years we have sent six members to the seminary and twenty others for short term Bible training.
