4 GADGETS FOR GOD'S WORK THAT'S NEEDED

Duke Jeyaraj's messages, available in the video format, have blessed the Google Generation immensely. Unfortunately, none of these videos are available in the high definition formate, which is fast becoming the standard for acceptable video quality around the globe. Duke endeavors to start producing message discs of his in the 1080P HIGH DEFINITION (HD) format pretty soon.

Messages of Duke, shot through a HD Camcorder would be eventually be uploaded onto youtube.com so that it becomes available to a world wide audience. Given this need, would you consider sponsoring the buying of a HD Camcorder for Duke and his ministry, the G4 Mission? Or are moved by the Holy Spirit to possibly buy one and give it to Duke? Or would you kindly pray about giving a used HD Camcorder to this ministry if you have one already and want to give it away so that you can go for an updated model?

Plus, there is also a need for a 3G-enabled TABLET (We are talking about Apple I-PAD/BlackBerry PlayBook/Motorola Xoom/Samsung Galaxy Tab,etc) for Duke and his ministry. Up-to-date communication devices like these always come in handy for greater effectiveness, reach and better sermon delivery.

Also, there is a need for a printer that prints directly on CDs for this ministry. This device will help improve the look of Duke's message CDs. A used but still-in-good-shape personal computer like an Apple I-Mac would be of great help to our ministry as our present system is constantly giving trouble.

Please pray and give as the Lord would lead you to. Thank you for taking time to read this. Feel free to contact us at this email id - emailduke@gmail.com or this phone number - +91-8886040605 in this regard. You could also message us at www.facebook.com/dukejeyaraj.

TWO WALLS

Duke Jeyaraj

In the middle with great resolve would he arrive, when India's first wicket does fall!
When the Indian team is in trouble, he will, 9 times out of 10, answer crisis' call!
It is not for nothing that he is nicknamed the 'wall'!
Plus, he's a world-record-holding catcher - from the grip of his safe hands, often does not slip, the cricket ball!
Into the sunset, after 15-plus years of doing battling batting Rahul Sharad Dravid, is walking tall! He is definitely a deserving member in Indian Cricket Fame's Hall!
It's true, when he bats the run-rate may, like a tortoise, crawl,
Agreed, He may not like Sehwag, entertain the audience and the senses enthrall,
But a player of Dravid's worth, you couldn't buy with a billion bucks in any shopping Mall!
And when he does eventually retire, the hole in the Indian middle order will not be small!

While we talk about the "Wall" here let me introduce another who gave his life to build a wall,
A wall that blocks your path to eternal hell, a wall that's really tall!
He raised this wall by shedding his blood on the Cross and gaving for us his all!
Jesus, God-in-flesh, is this wall-builder's name, and do you hear this his loving call?
"Come to me, and life, with me in your boat, despite the storms, will be a ball!"
But if you turn a deaf ear, to jump over this wall Jesus raised, into hell, you'll fall!

5000 HEAR DUKE PREACH IN AN OPEN GROUND STARTING GOSPEL MESSAGE WITH THE STORY OF SOUTH AFRICA CRICKET'S CURSED PERFORMANCE IN WCs!

Duke Jeyaraj was invited by Rev. Dr. B. Ebenezer, the director of Metropolitan Mission, to preach God's Word on the 13 January 2011 in Bishop Azariah Grounds in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh. Around 5000 people gathered in that meeting. In the audience were young people and old people. People from villages and people from the towns - both folk were there. Duke preached on the subject of curses. He explained from the Bible the reason why curses come, starting with the story of how South African Cricket Team's apparently 'cursed' performances in the World Cups. He established the connection between sin and curse and preached boldly on sin. He later went to the Cross of Christ, where the solution for the curse problem was permently solved and gave a gripping account of the sufferings of Christ on the Cross. He called for those in the audience to come forward - those who were willing to repent from sin and trust in Jesus as their savior. Hundreds responded. Some were in tears as the conviction of the Holy Spirit was heavy upon the audience in that open ground. Duke lead them in the sinner's prayer. After which Duke talked about four essentials of the Christian life - prayer, Bible-reading, witnessing and fellowship. After Duke preached the message, some pastors walked up to him to appreciate him for the bold message he had preached to bless thousands.

PUNE YOUTH CAMP - A BLESSING TO 200 YOUTH FROM 18 TOWNS

Duke Jeyaraj

My wife and I travelled to Pune upon the invitation of my Pas. Steven Dar to preach in the Emmanuel AG Youth Camp at Daund (May 16-20, 2011). Pas. Steven was my student when I briefly taught in the Central Bible College in New Delhi (2001). I was so happy to see how the Lord had raised him up to a key leadership role in this church of over 1000 people. 200 young people from 18 towns in Maharashtra and Gujarat gathered for this camp. The Lord moved mightily.

On the opening night, I preached a message that began with Dhoni's heroics in the World Cup Final 2011. This message went to talk to about what Jesus endured the last 12 hours of his earthly life and a graphic, frank description of the sins of the youth (sexual sins included) he bore on his body, the altar was crowded with youth surrendering their lives once again to the Lord. Some were fighting back the tears.
The next day, my more or less my wife's day. She preached three messages that moved the audience. On relationships. On wisely choosing one's life partner. On overcoming temptations. The young people made decisions that were very important. Decisions like, "I will not fall in love with or marry an unbeliever", "I would be willing to shed my blood to overcome temptation and live a holy life!", "I am willing to bring into my life a Nathan-life friend to whom I will be accountable." etc. I, on the other hand, preached to a bunch of pastors who had come along with the youth - about 20 of them. I taught them why God created marriage. At the end of the message, some of pastor's wives in that meeting profusely thanked me for preaching that practical message.

On Day Three of this meeting, after a message by Evan my wife on the Holy Spirit we prayed for the Holy Spirit Baptism to come upon the youth. There were young people who praised God in strange new languages after having received the Holy Spirit Baptism. Just before lunch, I preached a message on Why the Bible is such a great book and how one should read it starting with a Chris Gayle IPL IV story. Young people dedicated their lives to the daily study of the Word, following this message.

In the same night, I came up with 'the message of the camp' - a ministry challenge message from the book of Amos. Amos remains my most favorite book in the Bible! After this message, a major chunk of the youth committed their lives for full-time ministry down the line and ministry-involved presently. It was a 'wet' altar call. Members of the video recording team remarked, "We have recorded sermons galore. By what we just recorded is one of a kind!"

On the Final Day morning, I preached the final message on how the young people could be practically witnessing for Jesus right in the places they hailed from: via Kneeling (intercession for the lost); via Walking (like Christ); via Speaking (like Andrew, like Paul in Athens); via Healing; via Working (in a secular company); via Travelling (as a missionary to an unchurched place)! I also answered this question: "What if I sin after the Camp gets over?" A powerful time at the altar followed. Rev. Nana Dhar, the senior pastor of this church interpreted into Marathi few of the messages while his son, Pastor Steven, did the same for some of the messages. One other message was interpreted into Hindi by a pastor serving in Kashmir.

We had opportunity to counsel youth, one on one. They bared their hearts to us. "These are things we would never share with anyone else," they would say and open their lives to us. We gave them counsels from God's Word in a practical way and prayed for them. One reason, why this happens almost every youth camp we preach in, is that we openly talk about issues youth struggle in, openly, from the light of God's Word - issues like masturbation, issues like porn-watching in secret, issues like boy-girl physical intimacy, etc.

We had an encouraging ministry resource sale at this camp - 20 copies of my book, NO BEATING ABOUT THE BUSH STRAIGHT TALK ON HUSHED UP MATTERS, were sold, as were message CDs, magazines, gospel tracts.

During our flight journies to Pune from Hyderabad we could give out Gospel tracts (Bubbly Outside, Yet Empty Inside? - Duke) to the air hostesses, the boarding pass issueing staff, etc. Preaching remains just one way in which we can bring people closer to the Lord!
Eggle, Rev. Dar's third son, along with his wife, Shweta, took us around Pune for shopping, before driving us to the airport. By God's grace, I have now, as God opened the way, landed in airports such Chennai, Mumbai, Coimbatore, Kolkota, Delhi, and Pune, from Hyderabad to preach God's Word in those respective towns. That's one reason why we prefer to stay in Hyderabad - India's most centrally located big city. From this city we can fly to any big Indian city in a matter of three hours, preach God's Word to the Google Generation, and get back.
When my wife and I landed in Chennai from Pune in the wee hours of the early morning of 21st May, Daniel Pravin was there to pick up from the airport and drive us to his home near Tambaram. Daniel and his wife Ruby were students in Adiaman college of Engineering in Hosur when I had the opportunity to preach to the fellowship they lead in their college while I was a student of Southern Asia Bible College, Bangalore, then. We are grateful to God for people like them who make our ministry travels, a lot easier.

Our children were with my parents and my parents-in-law in Vellore for most past this summer vacation. Their grand parents looked after them and so we both could go for preaching in youth camps together. We praise God for their cooperation.

IN THE LAND OF MERLION TALKING ABOUT THE LION OF JUDAH

Singapore is the land of Merlion. Duke Jeyaraj and Evanelin Duke recently ministered there.

The Lord opened the door for Duke and Evan to preach in the country of Singapore in Feb-Mar 2011.

They were invited by PROFIT Fellowship - a fellowship of professionals who gather under the banner of GEMS ministry, all working in Singapore.

They preached in different events organised by Profit and also in two different churches during their two week stay.

Duke spoke in a young professionals meet of Profit in which about 50 young professionals gathered.

Duke used the story of the two wayward sisters found in Ezekiel 23 and preached a Gospel message to them.

Some young people came to Christ following the meeting.

Duke preached to a group of GEMS supporters in the GEMS Missions Centre in Singapore. A group of about 30 gathered.

Duke spoke to them from the life of Daniel and challenged them to be Daniels in their place of work. Placing their hands in their heart, they vowed to be Daniels.

Duke spoke to the senior professionals involved with Profit in yet another meeting. Duke spoke to them from the life of Nehemiah. They were touched by that thought - provoking message.

Evangelin Duke address about 15 home-makers of Singapore in a Profit event on how to do ministry even though you stayed at home. This talk was extremely practical.

Duke and Evan spent two days ministering in the Christ Church, Singapore.

Duke spoke to the teens, twenties and parents in a Saturday meeting. He spoke on the subject of Relationships. Relationships between parents-children, boys-girls, friends, and younsters-older folk. The Lord blessed the message and Duke spent time answering questions from the young people and their parents.

The next day, Duke preached in the Sunday service of the Christ Church. He challenged the Church for the ministry of intercession.

After the service, Duke spoke to the teens of the church on overcoming temptations using an outline that involved 5 Bs. The teens came forward, knelt down and committed their lives for holy living.

During the same time, Evan, Duke's wife spoke to about 30 women of this church on the task of witnessing in a very practical way.

Duke, later spoke in the church lead by Pastor Jacob for Telugu workers in Singapore.

Duke preached a message from the book of Ecclesiastes - a Gospel message. The Lord blessed that message which the pastor interpreted into Telugu. At the end of the message, 20 young boys came forward and gave their lives to Christ.

In the first weekend of March 2011, in a beachside bungalow in Singapore, Duke-Evan spoke to a crowd that gradually swelled to 50. It was a Profit Family Camp Meeting.

Duke spoke five messages titled under spread over 36 hours:

How To Prepare To Receive From God (from a Psalm)
Marks of a Backsliding Believer (from the book of Malachi)
Market Place Evangelism - Whys and Hows (from the book of Amos and from other portions of the Bible)
Why God Created Marriage (from various passages)
Why Market Place Evangelism Is Most Urgent (from various passages)

Evan preached two pivotal messages in this camp:

Small Start. Smashing Finish.
The Holy Spirit - The Oil Who Makes Us Toil For The Lord

People were immensely blessed. After Evan's sessions, people had encounters with the Holy Spirit.After Duke's message on Evangelism, the campers were divided into groups and they enacted skits using what they learnt. After the final message of Duke a vast majority of the campers dedicated their time, talents, treasures to do God's Work through Profit ministries.

About 100 message CDS of Duke-Evan and 40 plus books of Duke on what the Bible teaches about hot topics such as sex, love, marriage and more (STRAIGHT TALK) were sold during these meetings.

Duke's magazine, The Days of Your Youth, was given free to those who asked for it (about 100 mags).

This was the fifth country that Duke preached in after India, Germany, Nepal, Bangladesh.

Published below are the notes of encouragement, received by Duke and Evan, mainly via FaceBook!

“The sermon you preached as a school boy touched me. Now, I am in full-time ministry!” (Notes of encouragement that Duke and Evan have received off late)

Duke,
Wow fabulous indeed! Glory to GOD for your life. August 9, 1991 (the day Duke first preached as a 16-year-old in Ida Scudder School) rings a distinct bell! I think you preached from Matthew 5! “If your eyes causes you to sin, gouge it out!” I was a shy and timid 8th grader in the audience in Ida Scudder School as GOD got me grounded. That was one of those significant days in my life, when I had to face my Creator head on. He did it through you, man! I've moved on from there to FFJ (a fellowship which Duke started in Vellore in the year 1988) and been challenged again there by your contribution in getting this group going. God was good to me and I could be successful in my profession - I was the personal Physio for the Tamil Chief Minister, Mr. Karunanidhi! God took me to Netherlands to be a part of an elite intellectual research group on Hemophilia. I was featured in local news – both on Paper and the TV. But the best of it all is that I'm now serving the LORD full-time with Ravi Zacharias International Ministries as the Asst. Head of Training from Mumbai. I know, I have miles to go before I sleep and I acknowledge GOD using you to fire me up. Fondly remembering you, Duke! Continue to be a firebrand for GOD! – An accomplished Physiotherapist now serving God full-time with RZIM, Mumbai

Hello Uncle Duke,
I read the article you penned, “How Far Is Too Far?” (on the issue of Boy-Girl Physical Intimacy from the light of the Bible). I was really blessed. God warned me through that article that made delightful reading. I learnt many deep practical Bible truths which no one else has taught me so far. I praise God for you and your Mission. Thank You. – a young girl writing from an Indian Town

My mom got your magazine, The Days Of Your Youth, when you preached in a church in Chennai. She passed it onto me. It is too good! I would like to get information on subscribing for it! – an Indian Young Woman living in the US

I am really blessed by listening to all the CD messages which I recently bought. It was worth the investment. I have uploaded some of those audio messages onto my phone so that I can listen to them, time and again. God bless you. – an Employee of Dell, Hyderabad

It was such a blessing for my Husband and I to enter the new month in God’s presence in your base! Thank you for introducing the month-end mid-night meetings in Hyderabad – a college professor in Hyderabad
