Youth Touched, Their Hearts Torched!

A Report

In Dhaka, Bangladesh, we both address 60 youth drawn from leading Christian Groups of Bangladesh. There were youth from the Assemblies of God, Salvation Army etc. The Lord blessed the meeting called, Emerging Leaders Summit. It was organized by Compassion International. The Country Director of Compassion, Mr. Kajal Sengupta, invited Duke n Evan, both Compassion-sponsored children at one point in time, to speak here after Mr. Jebaraj, the Compassion Country Director (East India) put a kind word about them to him. Duke's preached from the stories of Absalom, Samson, Daniel and Amos. Evan preached from the story of Esther. Duke lead in a quiz from the book of Esther and Daniel. He had questions from Bangladesh Cricket as well. Evan lead in a Fashion Show. The highlight was 20 young leaders giving their lives for fulltime ministry. Brother Michael Keintz and Brother Noel, the Compassion International Director of Philippines were the other speakers. Bangladesh became the 3rd country that Duke was speaking, apart from India. When we were away in Bangladesh our kids were in a small village in Tamil Nadu with their grand parents.

In Wayanad Hills, Kerala, Duke and Evan preached 18 messages in less than 48 hours to about 400 youth from the Malabar region of Kerala in an AG District Youth Camp. Good number of people committed their lives for salvation, holy living, water baptism and fulltime ministry. Several were filled with the Holy Spirit, too. Pastor Ajit and Rev. V. T. Abraham made our visit sweet and wonderful.


In the New Life AG Church, Hyderabad, Duke preached to about 700 young people in the Day one of their annual youth convention, Summer For Jesus. Duke's message, "The Greatest Experience Ever," from the book of Hebrews, a message that began with a gripping narration of the Greatest Ever One Day Game Between South Africa and Australia in March 2006, in which South Africa chased down Australia's 400-plus total. 40 to 50 youth gave their lives to Christ after this message. Duke first came to Hyderabad upon the invitation of Pastor Younus Samuel to speak in Summer For Jesus 2002!


In the town of Ahmednagar, in Maharashtra, 395 youth registered and took part in the Maharashtra State AG Youth Camp. Duke had the humbling honor of speaking in this camp along with Dr. David Balasingh, the teacher of his who taught him the preaching course when he was a student of Southern Asia Bible College (M. Div. Course - 1998-2001). The power of God was demonstrated mightily in this camp. Almost all the Campers came forward after Duke's daring salvation message call and direct sexual purity call. After Duke's final message, a missionary call, 70 young people, some with tear-streaked faces came forward. There was a wonderful sale of Duke's books and CDs in this camp. The love shown by Pastor Vivek of Mumbai made this camp, very special. The New Life AG Team lead by Brother Milton Raj lead in worship, conducted the games, lead in Devotions. They did an awesome job!





Thank you for praying. Because some of you, lead by the Lord, support us (Duke and Evan) financially and support us through your prayers, we are able to travel with freedom and speak with authority without a worry, in meetings like these, month after month. Don't forget your support has released Duke and Evan into the larger Body of Christ as Evangelists, Youth Event Speakers, Revivalists! God bless you!

We had two Bible Studies in our base of late. One was on the book of Job. Duke summarized the entire book of Job using the acronym, Job of Uz. The other study was on the book of Psalms. Duke summarized the entire book of Psalms using the acronym, Psalms. The next study along these lines would be on the book of Proverbs on Sunday, 6th June, at 6 PM at our Kanajiguda Base in Hyderabad. Call 9441352433 for directions. Join with Bible-loving friends of yours.

We are glad that several hundreds from all over the globe are watching the youtube videos we have uploaded. We recently had an encouraging comment made on one of them, by an American Soldier! After watching this particular youtube video of Duke, a video in which he talks about the Bible Soldier Uriah, on this link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRbFGS3eeZk he made that encouraging comment.

At 11 PM on January 31st and on Feb 28th till 1 AM, the next day, we had two month-end prayers at our rented base in Military Dairy Farm Road in Hyderabad, invite for which you see in this gallery. Duke shared the Word in the January meeting, while Evan, his wife, shared the Word in the February meeting. We also had three Practical Bible Book Summary Studies in the same place in the months of January, February and March on the books of Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther respectively. Duke led these studies. Bible-hungry folk from different churches and corporate companies (like Microsoft, Dell, Delloitte, Genpact, etc) attended and were blessed in these meetings. Several hearts were ‘strangely warmed’ by the Word of God, so very practically expounded.
























CHALLENGING MESSAGES DELIVERED TO CHURCH FOLK IN HYDERBAD!

Duke was invited by the Universal Baptist Church of Hyderabad to preach God’s Word in a meeting in the month of January. Duke’s message, The Call To Be Like Paul – Imitating the Fully Human Man Who Imitated Christ Like None! touched the elite crowd that came to hear him. Later on, Evan, Duke’s wife, was invited to speak in the Women’s Special Sunday Service in the month of March of the Capstone AG Church in Kondapur, Hyderabad. Her message from the book of Job encouraged and challenged this church full of corporate employees, greatly. Duke also preached in the same church, the following Sunday, on the wrong ideas that people generally have about the Holy Spirit. Several believers received clarity on this crucial subject and had an encounter they could not forget with the Holy Spirit.































VIZAG YOUTH TAUGHT CRUCIAL BIBLE TRUTH!

Duke was invited by Capstone Fellowship, Vizag, to preach in their special Valentine Day Season event on a Friday Evening in February. After a gripping presentation of songs, chreos and skits by the core members of this fellowship, Duke preached a message from Song of Songs Chapter 8 titled, Lessons from the Climax of the World’s Greatest Love Poem! In this talk, he boldly talked about taboo topics such as porn, boy-girl physical intimacy, falling in love, etc, in the light of God’s Word. This talk was audio recorded and later became part of Duke’s MP3 CD, The Duke Sex, Love, Marriage Talk Collection. At the end of this message, several modern youth of Vizag rededicated their lives to Jesus.

























AT NEW DELHI TO KICK THE DEVIL IN THE BELLY!

Duke was invited by Rev. Dr. Y. D, Jeyaseelan to preach in the Victory Church Youth Conference this February. Duke preached three messages on the Incomparable Love of Christ, What The Bible Teaches About Sex and Overcoming Temptations to the 200 youth who gathered. Many lives in the grip of the Devil were touched and transformed and the Devil got a kick in his belly! Later, in yet another weekend, Duke was back in Delhi in the same month, to speak in an ASSI-organised meeting for youth upon the invitation of Brother Prakash James, Duke’s SABC senior. Young people from different churches, including a bunch from the famous Jesus & Mary College, attended. Several youth came to the altar to get right with God and to gear up to go after the lost, following Duke’s interesting and inspiring messages.





















COUNSELLING, WRITING, SELF-REFLECTING & ‘TRACTING’!

We continued to counsel young people who showed up at our rented base in Hyderabad by listening to their problems and offering biblical solutions. We did this over phone as well as email, these last three months. Duke took a day out to just pray and introspect near a beautiful lake in Hyderabad in the month of January. It was a wonderful exercise! His articles appeared in the Light of Life magazine, in each of their first three issues of the year. This magazine goes to about 20,000 people across the globe. The March Month article was titled, Mrs. Mahlon Vs Ms. Padukone! He also gave out our gospel tract, Bubbly Outside, Yet Empty Inside, during his two flight journeys to New Delhi in the month of February to interested co-passengers and of course, the airhostesses!
