EXPLAINING TO MODERN YOUTH THROUGH A BIBLE STUDY, THE HABITS OF JESUS, THE ANCIENT OF DAYS!

In the month of November, on the 7th, the book of Leviticus was practically summarized by Duke in a meeting held at his base in Kanajiguda, Secunderabad. The very name of that book was used as a short-form for its message. 7th November is also Billy Graham’s birthday. Therefore, Duke also shared on the topic, “What Makes Billy Graham So Special!” on that day. The young working professionals from different companies and churches were encouraged and challenged. In the month of January, on the first Sunday evening, there was another meeting at Duke’s base for a life-transforming study on the Habits of Jesus. On the 31st October, between 11 pm to 1 am, there was a meeting with a focus on entering the new month in God’s presence. As Duke’s birthday fell on 31st October, he shared on the subject, “How I Discovered My Life Calling and Found My Life Partner!” before sharing from the Bible. This frank talk touched the folk there. This talk was video-recorded like many other talks of Duke given at his base so that it could be shared with a wider audience. On November 30th, a never-before-seen number gathered at Duke’s base for the month-end mid-night prayer to hear very an encouraging and balanced message on miracles.

WHEN KFC WAS HIRED FOR AN EVANGELISTIC EVENT TO WIN YOUNG WORKING PROFESSIONALS TO THE LORD!

Duke Jeyaraj, along with his team of volunteers, hired the closed room in the first floor of the KFC Restaurant in Vikrampuri, Secunderabad on a Sunday Evening in December 2010 and held an evangelistic event there with a Christmas cum World AIDS Day theme. Around 20 folks gathered including those from Google, Deloitte, GE, etc. Shruthi Joy conducted a game that lightened the mood of the audience. “Scotty” Samuel and Joel Joseph helped with the worship and music. Fru Elvis came with a creative Gospel presentation. Kalyan and Esther took care of the physical arrangements. Duke shared a talk, ‘Wrong Philosophies Questioned By Christmas,’ which naturally lead the crowd into an animated discussion. In the discussion, the believers in the crowd used apologetics to share the Gospel in an informal way. Duke also led a quiz in this unique event which passed out the message of abstinence to those who came. Those part of the Bible Study group who could not go their respective homes on Christmas Day were warmly invited to have Christmas fellowship lunch with the Dukes at their base.

BLESSING LEADING CHURCHES - BOTH EVAN AND DUKE

On a December day evening in 2010, Duke preached in the Centenary Baptist Church, Secunderabad, a leading church in Hyderabad, from the life of Joseph (NT). He talked about the things this Joseph gave up to make the first Christmas happen in order to challenge those who gathered to hear him. Later on, Duke challenged the believers in the crowd as well, briefly. Evangelin Duke, Duke’s wife, lead in a ripple-causing prayer in the 31 December 2010 watch night service in the New Life AG Church in Hyderabad where over 8000 people were in attendance.

JUST WHO IS DUKE JEYARAJ?

JUST WHO IS DUKE JEYARAJ?
The answer in one paragraph

Duke Jeyaraj, born to missionary parents from South India, was saved at the age of 11. He committed for full-time ministry at the age of 13 in a Camp. Since the age of 16 he has been preaching. During his Agricultural Engineering Course (B. Tech.) in the Allahabad Agricultural Deemed University he actively witnessed for Christ by leading Bible Studies in the college hostel and going for tract distribution in the city with like-minded friends. After completing this course, Duke worked in Chennai briefly. During this time, Duke (who was 23 years at that time) was invited to speak to a group of Sri Lankan Tamil Youth by their pastor who read one of Duke's articles published in a leading Christian magazine. Since then, God has opened the doors for Duke to speak in various settings across different Church Denominations in over 16 Indian States. Church of South India, Church of North India, Society for Propagation of the Gospel, Lutheran, Baptist, Methodist, Assemblies of God, Mennonite Bretheren, Bakth Singh Assembly and other independent, non-denominational Pentecostal and non-Pentecostal churches, etc - these are some of the church denominations that have had Duke speak in their meetings. Duke also gets invited across organisational barriers. He has spoken in events organised by organisations such as Friends Missionary Prayer Band, Ravi Zacharias International Ministries, Jesus Calls, Youth For Christ, Inter Collegiate Prayer Fellowship, Indian Evangelical Mission, Indian Evangelical Team, Compassion International, Evangelical Medical Fellowship India, Operation Mobilisation, India Missions Association, Metropolitan Mission, etc. The wide acclaim and acceptance in Christendom is seen in the fact that Dr. Sam Kamaleson, the founder of Friends Missionary Prayer Band and former vice-president for World Vision International, has written the foreword for Duke's first book. Duke has also served as an English Translator at one time for Bro. Mohan C. Lazarus' God TV program. Duke's writing ministry is also inter-organisational. Light of Life, a leading Christian magazine that goes to about 20,000 folk across the world, publishes Duke's Bible-light-shining articles on current topics regularly. "The Sowing Circle" (The Bible Society of India's magazine), "The Sower" (Methodist Church's magazine), "Insight" (Assemblies of God's Bible College Annual Magazine), "AIM" (Evangelical Fellowship of India's magazine), "Blessing" (Blessing Youth Mission's magazine), "Kerith" (the youth magazine of Friends Missionary Prayer Band) and the printed voice of the Indian Evangelical Team - all have carried Duke's articles at various times. At various times, Indian newspapers/news-magazines such as Outlook, India Today, The Week, The Sunday Indian, The Sportstar, Frontline, The Hindu, Deccan Chronicle, etc have carried Duke's hard-hitting comments on sports events and contemporary events. It has been Duke's privilege to speak to college students right in their campus on hot youth issues from the Bible, over the years. Duke has addressed students in Madras Christian College-Chennai, Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi, National Institute of Technology (REC)-Trichy, Pondicherry Central University, Kurnool Medical College, Lady Doak College, Madurai, Bishop Heber, Trichy, etc, at various times on timely topics.
Duke has even preached to the students of St. Aloysius College, a Roman Catholic Secular College in Jabalpur at one time. Duke also has spoken in some schools to teens on subjects like relationships with parents, elders and the opposite gender, on writing exams well, on wise career choice, etc. Duke has the honor of speaking to Corporate Company Employees right inside their office campuses. He had done that in Mindspace IT Park and in CyberGateway IT Park in Hyderabad. He was featured as a speaker in a National-level God@Work Corporate Company Employees Conference in Bangalore. Duke has briefly worked in Corporate Companies (including the Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) group). While he worked there, he conducted brief break-time fellowship meetings right inside the office premises. Duke, at various times in his life, has served as a youth pastor, Bible College Teacher, Writer, Editor, Counselor, Travelling Missionary Revival Preacher, etc. Every time and where ever Duke speaks, he constantly seeks to call the audience to repent from their sin and trust in Jesus who is the only way, by presenting Bible Truth wrapped around contemporary events the Jesus Luke 13:1-5 way. And the results have been very very encouraging. Hundreds have to Christ following his messages. Duke also expounds the Word of God in a practical way so that at the end of these messages the audiences are challenged for holy living, witnessing and ministry involvement through the local church and para-church organisations. Some young people have joined fulltime ministry having committed their lives for the same after one of Duke's messages. Duke in 20 years of itinerant preaching has always adhered to pulpit ethics - he has never used the pulpit of a church or a ministry to shoot down its own doctrines and beliefs. Instead, he has always sought to build up, encourage, challenge, motivate the audience and make them more effective and more energetic in their own local churches or other ministries they are already involved in. Duke has addressed crowds over one thousand on different occasions. While he has done this, he also keeps addressing small groups of people as well. Duke lives in Hyderabad with his wife, Evan, who is also an itinerant speaker. They have two little children - Dale and Datasha. Duke has the following theological degrees: Masters in Divinity (Gold Medal) and Master of Arts in Christianity. He is working on doctorate in ministry (D. Min.) in Southern Asia Bible College, Bangalore. Duke, in Feb 2006, started G4 Mission - an inter-denominational, inter-organisational organisation that aims to grab the Google Generation (modern youth) going to Gehenna (Hell) using creative ways. This Mission is run by free will offerings of Indians who believe in its vision. Duke and his wife are now full-time staff of this ministry. The day-to-day operations of this ministry are practically executed by volunteers who are in different places and in different jobs. G4 Mission is governed by an independent Government-registered Trust which includes non-relatives of Duke in it. The accounts of this Trust are submitted to the Government of India annually. Duke publishes a magazine called, "The Days Of Your Youth", once in two months. This magazine wraps Bible Truth around contemporary events. In November 2010, Duke released a book titled, "No Beating About The Bush Straight Talk On Hushed Up Matters: Contemporary-event wrapped essays on what the Bible has to say about sex, love and marriage, plus more!" after many years of distributing his books in the photocopy spiral bound format. The testimonies of those who have been immensely blessed by Duke's writing ministry come from across the globe from different countries. Duke believes he is called to be one of the donkeys invited to carry Jesus to the modern generation - a generation he calls 'Facebook Folk', 'Hotmail Herd', 'Yahoo Youth', 'Google Generation', etc.

DUKE PREACHES ABOUT THE DAY JESUS WOULD LAND AGAIN ON PLANET EARTH TO JUDGE ALL, ON THE SAME DAY BARACK OBAMA LANDS IN INDIA!

After preaching to the youth of the largest church in India, the NLAG in Chennai, Duke hopped onto a flight in Chennai Airport. He was hoping and praying that the flight would not get delayed. Because if it did, he would not be able to preach later that evening (Nov 5, 2010) in yet another AG church in Hyderabad! Thankfully that Indian Airlines flight was in time. As Duke walked out of the Hyderabad Airport, he saw Siddarth and Genelia, two Tollywood actors. He whispered a prayer for their salvation. But before he could give them his Gospel tract they got onto their respective cars! Missed chance!

Duke was picked up by Monoj and his wife at the airport and driven straight to Revival Centre AG Church at Fateh Nagar, Hyderabad. Both Manoj and his wife work for IT firms in the city and take active part in the ministry of that AG church. Rev. Mathew George, the founding pastor of this church warmly welcomed Duke. Over 300 folks had gathered. The crowd included folks who did not know Jesus. The church's worship team lead the crowd into a wonderful time of worship. A young lady did the Master of Ceremonies part very well. Then Duke was invited to the stage.

He began with a description of how India prepared to receive Barack Obama the US President on its soil that very day - 5 Nov 2010. And he went to talk about how we must be prepared for the Second Coming of someone far, far greater - Jesus. He talked about the striking elements of great Day of the Lord with words that began with "S". This heart-pricking message is already uploaded by that church youth onto Youtube.com. Search that site with these key words: "RCAG Youth Ignite - Rev. Duke Jeyaraj" You will find four videos of about 10 minute length each. You may want to see it because, these days, we don't get to hear too many messages on the day of Judgement.

At the end of Duke's message about 20-30 youth came forward to accept Jesus as Savior. Duke taught them the sinner's prayer. After that, he also spoke for a few minutes to the believers in the congregation as to why Jesus was returning. He outlined the reasons from the Bible is a few minutes. It was a powerful time overall. God blessed the service. Duke also prayed for the core worship team of the church upon the invitation of the Pastor, Rev. Mathew George, who incidentally, was Duke's senior in Southern Asia Bible College. Then, after a delicious dinner which the Pastor's wife served very lovingly for Duke, he returned home in the car of Manoj. Please pray that fruits of this meeting will count for eternity and will remain.
