The Youth Arise team lead by two young men, Ashirwad and John, invited Duke and Evan to preach in their annual youth convention in Narsapur, a sleepy coastal town in Andhra Pradesh, October 15-16, 2010. Over 700 young people turned up. After the first message which Duke from the book of Galatians titled, Solemn Facts About Salvation, many young people came forward knelt down and accepted Jesus as Savior, confessing their sins after repenting from them. After that, Evan taught the women on Relationships and Wise Life Partner Choice while Duke taught the men on Sexual Immorality. The sessions were proved enlightening, enthralling, educating and life-changing for the audience. After this session, Evan preached on 8 Bs that would help youth beat temptation and live a holy life. The youth who were serious about overcoming temptation came forward and spent time at the altar after this message. The next day, Duke taught the youth about the Holy Spirit and the blessing he brings into a young person's life. At the end of the message young people were filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues. In the last session, Duke challenged the young people for witnessing. Many youth made practical decisions like, "I will start a prayer cell in my college" after this message. Duke also called those who wanted to commit their lives for full time ministry forward. And a bunch of youth did. They climbed on the stage and the servants of God present in the hall prayed for these youth. Duke gave practical instructions to them like this: "Marry only a believer who has committed his/her life for fulltime ministry!" Overall it was very blessed camp in Narsapur. Duke and Evan stayed back one more day after the convention and enjoyed a day visiting the beach. God, first, Family, second, Ministry, last is the right order! The stronger the family bond, the more effective will be the ministry! Duke also encouraged the core team of Youth Arise to keep the fire burning in a session with them the day after the convention. Duke's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jeyaraj took care of Dale(6) and Datasha(2), the kids of Duke n Evan, when they were away to preach in this convention. God bless them!

Duke Jeyaraj was invited by Pastor Pastor Younus Samuel of the Youth Alive, the youth ministry of New Life AG Church, Secunderabad. This event was called Life Ho To Aisi. The meeting took place in Millennium Gardens, a wedding reception place in Secunderabad. After a power-packed, thrilling, dose of songs, choreos, skits, Duke preached to the 1000 strong Google Generation from companies such as Google, Delloitte, Dell, Genpact, Bank of America present and various top city colleges present there using the text of John 10:10, "I have come to give you life - life to the full!" God had put in Duke's heart to speak from John 10:10 on 10/10 (October 30th)! Duke talked about three things the Devil would do in this message which began with a line about the movie HISSS before talking about the full life Jesus came to offer. He went to talk about cancer-stricken Hollywood actor Michael Douglas in this deeply-moving gospel presentation. "Only Jesus can fill that vacuum in your heart!" - Duke asserted. At the end of it, there were over 100 youth who came forward to receive Jesus as Savior. Some were fighting back their tears. There were friends from Islamic background, Hindu background, Nominal Christian background etc in this group. God was clearly moving mightily that evening! They were taken backstage and counselled by the core team of Youth Alive. Preaching in events like this has underlined Duke's basic call - to be an evangelist to the Google Generation!
