ROCKING VIJAYAWADA FOR JESUS! 2000 YOUTH BLESSED!

A ministry report
The Lord took Duke Jeyaraj and his wife Evangelin and made them a blessing for over 2000 youth who gathered in a large auditorium in Loyola College, in the city of Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh. The Metropolitan Mission, under Rev. Dr. Ebenezer's leadership organized this program. This pastor's son Joel took the lead in organising. Bill boards with pictures of Duke and Evan were put up all thro' the city of Vijayawada running up to the meeting. On Oct 2, 2010, it was raining in the morning. People prayed. Rain stopped. And 2000 youth from all over came in and heard the Word.

In the first session, Duke explained why Jesus can be a young person's most understand friend, starting off with a quote from the mouth of Telugu movie star Mahesh Babu. At the end of the message over 75% of the audience stood up and received Jesus as Savior. Next, Duke's wife, Evan, preached on how the youth could beat temptations. She talked about 7 Bs to beat temptations. She stopped after each point to lead the youth in prayer. Several hundreds committed their lives for Holy living. In the final session, Duke came back to explain why that particular time could present the audience the very LAST CHANCE OF SALVATION. The power of God came down. Over 500 youth came to the altar to give their hearts and lives 100% to Jesus. Among them, about 25 people came up to the stage as Duke challenged them to giving their lives for fulltime ministry. As the servants of God started laying on of hands on these youth, they began to be move in the anointing of the Holy Spirit. One young man fell to the floor without anyone even touching him, leave alone pushing him. God was clearly there! Youth were in tears, repenting and committing their lives to Jesus. It was an unforgettable day in Vijayawada. It had witnessed one of its largest ever youth convention! To God be the glory, great things he had done!

The next day, after Evangelin greeted the crowd, Duke spoke to church that organized this event - the St. John's Evangelical Church. He spoke from the Bible character of Uriah.God blessed the message that challenged the church to become soldiers for Jesus instead of being mere seat-warmers! Thank you for praying.
