Prepare given the forthcoming events

An all consumingly passionate entrepreneur driven by a strategic vision, who single-handedly brought an idea to pass, overcoming obdurate hurdles and colonial prepotency.

My Dad (Albert Arasaratnam Nicholas) is positioned in the centre of many family photographs. He was one of the Directors and the Manager of Oriental Bank of Malaya Ltd-Klang.

In 1936 a Colonial Licence was obtained by the visionary B. P. Nicholas under the illustrious title of Bank of Malaya Ltd.

Saida worked on a voluntary basis alongside David Lamb as a co-evangelist at St. Mark's Church, Kennington. She had this concept that the only way she was going to be accepted and befriended by most of the local Christians was to highly esteem them.

Saida has now recognised that Our Lord should have been her main focus and her only foundation.

One needs to hear Anton & Saida's wedding video, entitled 'Jesus showed a vision of our marriage'. It had to be a real 3 dimensional vision to convince a true blue Roman Catholic to marry a lady with strong Evangelical convictions.

It was extraordinary what the Vicar Canon Nicholas Rivett-Carnac testified about Saida. It is worth watching and hearing the testimony about how Saida sacrificed her career.

She did become a Nursing Sister, and completed a course at King's College, University of London. Also attended another course at The City University, London.

“Someone who has stolen, shall repay sevenfold… Once again you will have all the food you want, and you will praise the LORD your God, who does these miracles for you. Never again will my people be disgraced.” — Proverbs 6:31; Joel 2:25–26

Saida lost her own father when he died at a very young age of 42 years and Saida was only sixteen months old.

Saida was once a model. She lost her own father at a very young age of 42 years and Saida was only sixteen months old.

The problem was that Saida had a surplus, an overflow of spiritual mothers, spiritual fathers, counselors, advisors, mentors… If one does not spend hours praying, an individual would not be able to recognize the authentic voice of God.

“…and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word.” — Acts 6:4–5

Anton also led a well-attended early morning prayer meeting for about two years in the upstairs chambers at St. Marks Church Kennington, London, with an emphasis on united prayer.

There was a period, a few years after our marriage, from February 1986 until mid June 1986 when Danny offered us accommodation at his home in Loughborough Road, Brixton.

Pippa Meyer led the Praise and Worship for us when Anton led the prayer meetings at St. Marks, Kennington. The worship brought tremendous joy to our Lord.

We also became acquainted with Gerry Kearney from the Republic of Ireland. We used to worship and shared bread (Holy Communion) together at a charismatic church in North London, Victory Christian Centre, Hampstead.

We also want to acknowledge the assistance of Steven Burton in helping us transport our belongings from Loughborough Road, Brixton to Peckham.

It was also during this period of time that we took care of Jonathan Gwilt when he stayed in our basement, from August 1990 till February 1991. He was completing his Chartered Accountancy Exams.

Read a further story regarding what happened during Pippa Meyer's last few hours before she went to be with our Lord.

For some time Anton led an early morning prayer meeting at St. Marks Chambers. During this period the Vicar was Nicholas Rivett-Carnac.

Nicholas Rivett-Carnac joined the Scots Guards. He spent 10 years with the regiment, serving as a platoon commander during the fierce fighting in Malaya, when he was mentioned in dispatches. He returned home in time to take part in the Coronation Procession in 1953.

His father ended his naval career as a Vice-Admiral and was involved in both World Wars, 1 and 2. He commanded the battleship Rodney and was Rear-Admiral in charge of the Normandy Beaches during the Allied invasion of Europe in 1944.

At the Memorial and Thanksgiving service for Nicholas Rivett-Carnac held at St. Marks Church on 23rd of October 2004 we heard Bishop Peter Walker, a former Principal of Westcott House Theological College Cambridge, saying in his testimonial that the wife of the Rear Admiral told the Bishop that if her husband had just made one mistake, it would have changed the whole direction of the war.
