Greetings, in the name of Jesus Christ. I am writing this note to convey thanks to you my friend, partner in this ministry and wellwisher. This Note will also give you a brief update on what has happened in the past and the plans for the future.
BACK TO THE BASE: It is one year since I came back to Chennai from Karunya. God enabled me to re-launch the nets into the deep with more vigor and added focus. Many professional friends are part of our team now.
LOOKING BACK: My heart is filled with thanks for all the good works happened in our/through our lives in the recent past. God used us in many discipleship camps, seminars and workshops, career building programs, Sunday services, retreats, open air meetings & church conventions, youth & kids summer camps etc to touch and transform hundreds and hundreds of people - young and old.
Thank you so much for your supportive prayers, encouragement, introduction and financial contribution towards this mission works. It was very valuable and was a great asset for us..
Please continue to support us as we move forward with new plans from God to reach out the younger generation for Christ.
REALITIES:-AN EYE OPENER: Our younger generation is moving fast exploring the new technical and economical developments trying to taste everything that is attractive, being easily lead into the deceptions (cunning lies of the devil) thereby getting trapped into the fancies of the worldly myths resulting in;
- Loss of character, values & ethics,
- Addiction & Bondage,
- Depression & Dejection,
- Relationship entanglements and
- Immoral life etc... ending up in suicide.
- The lack of knowledge about the realities of life, cross cultural influences towards unacceptable habits due to booming economy, easy availability of unwanted resources has blinded their eyes.
My heart is very much burdened and bleeds in pain, whenever I think of the young victims of this modern world. These unfortunate developments are happening not only in the urban set-up but also in the rural areas thanks to Media Coverage, TV, Mobile & Internet Revolution.
The NEED for ministry among these young people is enormous....Against this huge demand we have the biggest challenge - Scarcity of Godly resources (dedicated & burdened men & women) to work / minister among this generation..
We don't have sufficient no of GOOD & GODLY MENTORS to listen to the problems of this younger Generation and also to Support & Guide them in the right direction of Life..
SOLUTION: “JESUS the only solution” - is all that needs to be given to this modern generation at the earliest before time runs out. This is not possible by one individual or a small group. THE CHURCH should be awakened from its slumber to fulfill this responsibility of reaching our upcoming generation for Christ. Motivate, Energize and Equip every believer to take up this responsibility, is the crux of the great commission of Jesus Christ.
HOW WE WORK?
As a team of professionals with the God given vision of “TOUCHING LIVES!..WINNING SOULS!.". We have started working with this Target group through a new plan from GOD called
"YES" (Youth Empowerment to Serve).
This involves three stages.
1. MENTOR DEVELOPMENT
Challenge, Identify & Equip Godly men & women as MENTORS in CHRIST. We target;
- Teachers
- Lecturers
- Pastor's wives
- Sunday School Teachers
- Youth Coordinators &
- Any other believers with leadership capabilities
Our target is to equip at least 2000 Mentors before December 2011.
For this we have developed a 2 hrs program called "STEPPING STONE".
This is an interactive, challenging program and will open the eyes of the participants into the realities of today's problem our young people are going through. Will surely challenge them to step in to the gap of fulfilling God's mandate to work among our current and upcoming generation
2. EQUIPPING the YOUNG Believers as SOLDIERS of GOD
