REACHING THE GOOGLE GENERATION IN SCHOOLS AS WELL AS COLLEGES!

Duke Jeyaraj was invited to speak in the Marthoma Residential School in Tiruvalla, Kerala, by the Principal of the School, Mr. M. M. Mathew on 28th January, 2011. Duke shared God's Word in the assembly of this school, with both the students and the faculty present. He spoke from "befores" found in the book of Ecclesiastes chapter 12. He lead in the sinner's prayer after that penetrating message. After the assembly, Duke spoke just to the senior students from Ezekiel 23, the chapter with the story of two wayward sisters. He pointed out how these two sisters were like presentday youth and merged his presentation with the Gospel. There were teens in that group who drew closer to the Lord Jesus after Duke's frank talk. All of them were given a free copy of this magazine. Some of them were looking at Duke's book, STRAIGHT TALK, very keenly.

Duke was also invited by the prayer fellowship of the SRM College in Chennai (a bunch who were spiritually shepherded by Pastor Chadwick Mohan) to speak in a meeting hosted in a large auditorium right inside their campus on 7th April 2011. SRM is India's largest multi-stream private university. About 800 students gathered. Many there were in a meeting like that for a very first time. Speaking to a boisterous group of college students can be a challenging task. But God gave extra grace to Duke to carry this out well. Duke weaved the Gospel around magic moments of the Cricket World Cup 2011 and called for the students who wanted to give their lives to Christ to come forward in an attitude of repentence. Around 50 came forward. There was a holy hush in that swank auditorium. And these folk who came forward were lead in the sinner's prayer. Earlier that day, musician Stephen Devassy, the NLAG-Chennai Worship Band, the SRM Prayer Fellowship Worship Band also performed. The pictures of the second row were shot by Pranta Nath, a skillful photographer and one of the students of SRM College.
