A Brief December 2011 Ministry Report

Bro. Duke took time out in December 2011 to write G4 Mission Annual Report. Here are the opening lines of that interesting report: “It is going to be just  another Sunday Morning Church message I am going to deliver as a guest preacher,” Duke thought. But God had a surprise for him, waiting. Just before he was given the mike in a church he preached in, in the year 2011, the pastor’s daughter, a young woman in her early twenties, took the mike. She said, “When I was in still in Boarding School, Duke anna came to preach there. The year was 2001. He preached a message on beating sexual temptations from the book of Amos. He challenged us students to write in our Bibles, ‘I will wait till marriage to have sex!’ He asked us to swap Bibles have our neighbors sign as witnesses for what we had written. I wanted to be pure in the one life I have to live. So I did what Duke anna asked us to do. After I graduated from that school and went on with life, there were temptations that crossed my path. But I am glad to let you know that I am a virgin today. I am so glad that very same Duke anna is now in my dad’s church to preach God’s Word this Sunday morning!” Please visit http://www.scribd.com/doc/78006622/I-Am-Still-a-Virgin-Thanks-to-G4-MISSION-ANNUAL-REPORT-2011 to read the full 14-page annual report of G4 Mission. In December 2011, Bro. Duke preached in these following Christmas-themed events: 1. “Impossible Made Possible!” Event @ the G4 Mission Rented Base in Hyderabad. 2. Synergy Christmas Event in Bangalore (in which over 1000 distinguished guests heard his stirring Gospel presentation, “The Combination Champion!”) 3.  In Hyderabad’s largest Lutheran Church’s Youth Christmas Meet (in which over 1000 people gathered to hear Bro. Duke speak from Herod’s life and there was a good respond to the altar call). 4. YMCA Staff Christmas, Secunderabad. 5. At the Power AG Church in Hassan, Karnataka, led by Pastor C. Thomas, full of down-to-earth village folk. 6. In a AG Church Youth Meeting In Hosur Road. God used Bro. Duke’s messages to challenge those who came.

Edifying the Google Generation Thro’ God’s Books & FaceBook!

A Brief November 2011 Ministry Report

November 2011 began with the mid-night month-end prayer for the Google Generation held at Bro. Duke’s rented base in Hyderabad ending by 1 am with a message of encouragement.

On a particular Sunday morning this month, Bro. Duke shared God’s Word in the Sunday Morning English Service of the Olcott Memorial CSI Church in Vellore. His message was loud and clear: “We need the Protestant Reformation to continue in our churches!” This message was also apt and timely because 31 October 1517 marked the day when Martin Luther hammered his thesis explaining where the church had gone away from Scripture on a Roman Catholic Church wall in Germany.

Bro. Duke led a riveting Bible Study summarizing the message of the book of Philippians using the very name of the book as an acronym on a Sunday evening of this month at his base. Happiness that doesn’t depend upon happenings was one of the topics that Bro. Duke spoke about. The base which is also Bro. Duke’s home was crammed with 25 young working professionals from various multinational companies.

On the last day of the month of November, from 11:30 pm, Bro. Duke led a month-end midnight prayer again at his base which 15 Google Genners joined. After this meeting which filled spiritual petrol in the souls of those who came got over, a bunch of young women prayed way past mid-night with Sis. Evan, Bro. Duke’s wife.  

 

  

Through out 2011 and even through this month, through a FaceBook event in which 300 people from all over the world joined, Bro. Duke encouraged people to read through the entire Bible.

Tears in the eyes of the Parents & the Youth!

A brief October 2011 ministry report

In month of October 2011, Bro. Duke was in the states of Orissa, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh! For a week, the family of Duke holidayed with the family Mr. Mark Gnanasigamoni and Mrs. Alice Moni, who were kind to have the Dukes in their sweet home in Rayagada, Orissa. They drove through jungles, played in ponds and bathed in waterfalls! Then, Bro. Duke spent a week doing his doctoral course studies in the Southern Asia Bible College,  Bangalore. After a week in Bangalore, Bro. Duke was flown to Chennai so that he could address some of  the young working professionals of Wipro in a beachside resort. After Duke’s Gospel presentation wrapped around the life of Steve Jobs, the late Apple CEO, many of them came forward, knelt down in the altar and received Jesus as Savior, with some fighting back the tears. The two pivotal presentations that Bro. Duke made that day have gone into a DVD, the image of which you see in this post.

 

 

 

Bro. Duke and his wife, Sis. Evan, were invited to speak to the youth and families of Navi Mumbai cluster of the Gateway Ministries International churches led by Pastor Issac Abel, in a camp at the YWAM base in Lonavala, Maharashtra. God moved mightily in this camp. Tears of joy flowed down the cheeks of the parents of some of these modern youth as they witnessed their young children commit for fulltime ministry after a rousing challenge that Bro. Duke made from the book of Ezekiel. Sis. Evan Duke preached about seven Bs that would the believer, overcome temptation, a session that greatly blessed the campers. She also preached on who the Holy Spirit was, the Blessings he brings, and how one could receive Him. Prayers for the campers to receive the Spirit were raised up in a session which the Spirit moved mightily. Bro. Duke taught the couples on five God's given purposes for marriage, a session which the couple testified was very useful. Bro. Duke led a quiz which involved rounds from the Bible, Church History and the secular world, replete with audio, picture rounds. This quiz encouraged the campers to connect the Word of God with the World of God. Sis. Evan taught the singles among the campers on how to wisely choose a life partner using Bible principles. The theme of this camp was Bearing Fruit That Will Last For Eternity. And all the messages preached were interwoven with this theme. The messages that Bro. Duke shared in this camp has gone to a DVD, the picture of which you will get to see in this post. Bro. Duke brought a practical lessons on sex, love, marriage and the Christian life from the book of Ruth in the Vizag Christian Assembly Church in Vizag, upon the invitation of Sister Anita Aidintantz in a Sunday morning youth special service. As we can see in one of the pictures in this page, several youngsters in the congregation went to the altar to make a commitment to live a pure life.

 

 

 

 

Accountable to God & to the Government!

A brief September 2011 ministry report

In the month of September 2011, Bro. Duke Jeyaraj shared God’s Word in the Good Samaritan Church One Day Youth Retreat in the city of Madurai. The three terrific messages he shared from the book of Ezekiel pierced the heart of the youngsters who gathered. These messages which were in the English to Tamil format have gone into a DVD, the cover of which is pictured above. In the same month, the board meeting of G4 Mission, the organization founded by Bro. Duke that publishes this mag, was held in Chennai. Ministry accounts and reports were tabled. Later on, Bro. Duke’s dad, Mr. A. Jeyaraj, arranged for these accounts to be audited and submitted the same to the Government. You would be pleased to know that the Government has sent an acknowledgement upon the receipt of the same to G4 Mission. We must not only be accountable to God but also to the Government! During the same Chennai visit, Bro. Duke challenged the youth of a Church of South India (CSI) church in Avadi, Chennai, with a moving message on the perils of procrastination. That English to Tamil message which God used to bring many youth to the altar went into a DVD, the cover of which is also printed above. In the same month, Bro. Duke led a Bible Study, the invite for which you see above, at the G4 Mission rented base in Hyderabad summarizing the message of the book of Ephesians, using the very name of that book as an acronym for a bunch of Bible-hungry Google Genners working in various Corporate companies. Their hearts were warmed.

WHAT I DID AFTER I PASSED OUT FROM SCHOOL

Duke Jeyaraj

Duke is second from the left in this picture that was taken when he was a school boy in Ida Scudder School, Vellore, which he left in the year 1992. 2012 marks 20 years since Duke finished his schooling 

After School, I did B. Tech. in Agricultural Engineering with Allahabad University and worked briefly in Chennai. That's when I was invited to preach - something I started doing while I was a Scudder Student - in a Youth Camp in Germany. And I quit my job to be able to prepare well to do that. After that assignment in Germany I joined a Masters in Divinity course to train as a communicator of the message of the Bible in a seminary in Bangalore. After this training, I joined as a youth pastor with a church in New Delhi. I got married to Evangelin Early Star shortly later on. After a few other similar assignments that lasted for a few more years, I stated my own organization that would strive to creatively communicate the love of Jesus with those of the Google Generation in the year 2006 and  named that organization, "Grabbing the Google Generation from Gehenna Mission" (G4 Mission). I am an itinerant communicator - founder CEO of this organization based in Hyderabad right now. The magazine published a magazine by the name of "The Days Of Youth" - a mag that wraps Bible truth around contemporary events. I have written two books that brings the Bible's message to present-day youth titled, "Straight Talk" and "The Goodnews for the Google Generation". My work involves speaking to various young people in churches, colleges and corporate companies across India and a few other nations. Clipping of my messages/talks to  young people on topics such as finding purpose in life, sex, love, marriage, etc,  have secured over 60,000 hits on youtube.com (channel: www.youtube.com/visitduke).  I have two children - Dale, son 8 years old and Datasha, daughter 4 years old. I am grateful to God for Scudder school and the classmates of the batch of 92 who were of great encouragement to me. All that I do today, in someway I started doing in Scudder school.
