4 years and counting
Today, by His grace, I complete 4 years of writing. It was on the 21st of July, 2015 I hit the publish button for my first post. Read further and you will find few things I learned in this journey.
2014 Inception of this idea
It was in 2014, that the idea of creating my own blog came to my mind. I personally believe that it was a God-inspired vision as I was not a writer then. I constantly felt a push within me to share thoughts that were sparked out of personal and group meditations of the Word of God. Eventually I shared this idea with my friend Renju Koshy, who encouraged me to pursue this idea of blogging. Prayerfully we finalised on the name HisVoiceOnline which means, God’s voice is always available for us to guide us.
2015 Idea into action
Towards the end of 2014, I was posted by my company in Malaysia for an official assignment. Simultaneously, the Lord prepared me to be become active in two churches in Malaysia. During this period, I got to meet a lot of friends, with whom I spent ample time discussing our thoughts on the Word of Truth. The urgent need to start the blog kept pondering my mind so that I could communicate regularly to people far and wide irrespective of all grounds on our beloved Father’s voice. On July 21st, 2015, I published my first post. It took more than 8 hours to draft, and with the help of a few friends I got it reviewed and published.
During the one and half years I spent in Malaysia, my blog started to take pace. Soon my blog became a forum where I could share the Word of God to friends and families, near and dear ones especially when I somehow wanted to communicate to them on how the Lord was leading me.
My beloved mentor and sister in Christ, Tara aunty (late)
Every writer has an inspiration, a mentor and mine was Tara aunty! Tara aunty played the role of a mentor, and a guide with regard to reviewing my blog contents. Since she was part of the church which I attended in Malaysia, communication regarding blog was easier. Sadly in Dec 2018, she was taken to glory. Her constant words of encouragement helped me develop as a person and as a child of God needless to say, a blogger as well. I do not wish to continue succumbing to the pain of losing her to cancer but live on in the joy of seeing her being rewarded generously by our Father in Heaven. I cherish her valuable efforts in proof-reading my content for more than 3 years till date. of course every strong woman has a backbone and that’s her husband Antony uncle who stood by my side giving me strength and comfort in all my ups and downs.
2016 YouTube channel
Moving forward, my web ministry grew from blogging to vlogging. I started a YouTube channel, HisVoiceOnline TV, to post contents such as Piano tutorials, Inspirational sermons, Bible classes and more.
2017 Whiteboard Animation Videos
Adding a twist to all the vlogging, white board animations using a software tool called VideoScribe helped me reach out to all age groups in a creative manner. Wide reception of such videos made me realise people followed better by doing so. This was a breakthrough in this journey. Further by God’s grace, I started to create short Bible study videos as well.
2018 New doors opened
Through my blog and YouTube, God opened few doors for me to expand this ministry across few organisations and like minded people. Thats when I got a glimpse of what God was doing in my life through this media ministry. When God gives an idea, He will show us one step at a time. As we obey Him and continue our journey with Him, He will lead us step by step and at the end, when we look back, we will see the big picture, one that God was trying to paint beautifully in our lives.
2019 More short videos
In Dec 2018, I got married and was blessed to create more short videos, but this time with help from my wife. Check out my YouTube channel for the recent ones.
