A young lady is all ears as Duke preaches in Summer For Jesus, New Life AG Church, Hyderabad on 29 May. The no beating about the bush approach, contemporary stories-loaded, extremely practical approach that Duke uses in his preaching makes it all the more easier for the Google Generation to listen to his messages. This young lady became a great pal of Duke's son, Dale, aged five, after the service.

Duke Jeyaraj speaks in a Workshop at Summer for Jesus in the New Life AG Church on May 27, 2009. He spoke on the topic, Atrocious Alternatives for Marriage Challenged covering taboo topics such as Living In, Gay Marriages, Porn Watching- Masturbation, etc. The young people listened from the edge of their seats and were blessed.

Duke Jeyaraj preached on 29 May at Summer For Jesus, a youth convention at New Life AG Church, Secunderabad. Duke challenged the youth from the book of Jonah. He stopped midway during his message to give a salvation altar call. The response was immediate. He carried on preaching. At the end of the message, he gave a call for those who felt called for fulltime ministry. Again about 30 young people responded. Almost half of the 1000 youth who were there came forward to give their time, talent, treasure for the Lord during the powerful prayer time! One young man wanted Duke to give the mike to him so that he could confess his sins publically to the audience as the Holy Spirit was powerfully promting him to do so!

Duke spoke in the YOUTH FOR CHRIST camp in Word and Deed Centre, Hayath Nagar on the 26 May from Mark 5. This message was titled, Chains to Cheers, a Gospel message. At the end of that talk several young people gave their hearts to Jesus.

On May 24, 2009 about 30 people, young and old, from different churches and corporate companies in Hyderabad gathered in the home of Daniel and Magdalene in Somajiguda. Duke lead them into a stirring summary practical study of the book of Judges. Duke wrapped the message of that book using the acronmyn J-u-d-g-e-s. That particular day, Jeffrey Daniel, celebrated his birthday as well.

Duke makes a persuasive point even as he speaks on the topic, Work Life Balance - A Biblical Perspective, in the God@Work confrence for Corporates all over India, this May in Bangalore. Emails/Scraps/SMSs as found below encourage him to continue to travel and preach and write so as to make the Bible relevant for the Google Generation

What you wrote made us float….

 (Then we quickly got back to the ground to gloat “in the Lord!” who made all this possible!!).

The following are selections of emails/SMSs/Scraps that Duke Jeyaraj received recently:

Hi Duke...I just received the latest issue of your magazine (thro’ email)... it looks really great these days...the content has always been inspiring and challenging, but over the past few issues the layout and overall look of the magazine is classy - Devananadham Henry, New Jersey, The U. S.

Hello Bro. Duke, I am so glad to see you and blessed by your powerful spiritual messages in the youth camp I attended in Carmel Campus in Hyderabad. Especially the Great message HOW TO OVERCOME TEMPTATIONS, you preached helps me a lot when I face many temptations when I am with my colleagues….The best decision I ever took was after your second message in the camp in which you called for people who commit for fulltime ministry to come forward. I came forward and so did 50% of the audience! – one young camper in one of the youth camps Duke preached in this March 2009.

Duke’s right!! – one comment after someone watched Duke’s Youtube message clip video, Nudity  and Porn: Kate Winslet Vs The Bible.

Dear Mr. Duke, God talked with me and he touched me when I heard you preach in the youth camp I attended. Your magazines are helping me a lot. - Bhavana Smitha. M,  Hyderabad.

Dear Duke, Evan, Dale and Datasha, The magazine The Days of Your Youth continues to get better in format, content, lay out and what is more, it features new writers…WELL DONE. We have all been blessed by the recent issue and specially the case study of a young girl....

You may recall that we had translated the Gospel you wrote for the present generation titled, Aiswariya Felt It: The Vacuum in the Heart, into Bengali for local distribution. We had intensified the distribution while Aishwarya was here (in Kolkota), close to a month shooting for the film Raavan. My wife and I want to let you know that last week we crossed the mile stone of distributing the 10000^th tract…Besides helping us sow His seeds in the Salt Lake area wherein we reside, membership for the Care Group meeting at our residence (Wednesday 07.00 pm) has increased. - Jebaraj D.G., A Country Director with Compassion International.

Wow ! Duke..It’s great to see you (based on your Facebook updates) doing God's work... You have always been that way from school I guess...Really proud :) My prayers for your ministry :) – Facebook Scrap left by Accenture-employed Ida Scudder School Student for whom Duke was a School Senior.

Dear Duke, Just to let you know – how much I enjoyed the time with you and your family in Hyd. Especially, I enjoyed your ‘sleeping or speeding’ (message in the Assemblies of God National Youth Confrence) – it did come as a convicting reminder to me and all of us! – A pastor from  Kolkota.

Duke, As always, it is fun to keep getting revelations while (reading your articles). Sometimes I wish I had the time to pause, ponder and wonder about the amazing revelations in your writings. – A young person in Hyderabad.

Duke, I wanted to admit, for a long time was looking out for an answer to this question.."Why did Jesus say ELI ELI LAMA SABACHITANI"?.....and you answered this through your message in Youth Alive the other day.......Was a great revelation....THANX! -  A young man in his Facebook scrap to Duke on 22 April.

Duke, I got great reports about your Saturday message (in Youth Alive!). Thank you for your ministry –Pastor Younus Samuel via SMS.

Duke anna, I’ve mailed you to pray for me as I was about to write my exams. Jesus gave me first mark in my semester examinations. – a young lady from Tiruchy, thro SMS.

Dear Brother Duke, Praise God. I happened to see, The Days of Your Youth magazine, the fifteenth issue. I am amazed to see the work of God in you…. And the wonderful vision that the Lord Jesus has called you for…I am so excited to witness the Lord’s mighty hand in this generation through his precious people like you…. I praise God for that. My prayer has always been always this my brother that God would raise people that would turn around the corporates of these times like never before.  – A young woman in Hyderabad via SMS.

Hi, Bro Duke, Those messages you gave in Summer For Jesus and in one Sunday Morning Service in the New Life AG Church, Hyderabad – they all  spoke to me a lot and even now they still do…. – A Young Pilot in Training in Atlanta, The US via Orkut scrap
