pls check this space for more of such updates....

T I M E



I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer.
No time to speak of Christ to friends,
They’d laugh at me I’d fear
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord!!!
I came, I stood with downcast eyes
For in His hands God held a book;
It was the book of life.
God looked into His book and said
“Your name I cannot find.
I once was going to write it down…
But never found the time.”

Thank you Lord! For Koinonia 2008

Praise the Lord! And let us from the very depths of our hear thank and praise the lord, for Koinonia-2008. Koinonia 2008 concluded on 29th October in the inimitable JY style amidst cheer of the action songs and the steely resolve of the participants to abandon everything to receive and accept Jesus into their lives. This wonderfully conducted programme, truly was and is a great gift from Jesus, to all of us. As we all know that from the very conception of the idea of a closed retreat , to the shifting of the idea to a day programme, and to its eventual successful completion, right from the arrangement of an apt venue to the availability of all resources and through the perseverance of recasting the entire dream in a different format, it surely was a great ride!!. Truly, we can say that it was " Against all odds" and a firm belief that our Lord is with us that we all could do it together. " Faith is the guarantee of the things we hope for and the certainty of the things that we do not see " (Hebrews 11:1) All of us clung to our faith in the Lords' ways and thus today, should feel greeted and elated by Our Lord himself " It was by their faith that our ancestors won God's approval "(Heb 11:2)

But each greeting and shower of mercy from the Lord comes with the "unputdownable" responsibility of being evangelists and fulfilling the call ‘HE’ gave to us in Mark 16: 15 " Then he told them ' Go out to the whole world and proclaim the Good news to all creation" And we know very well all that is associated with the call and the need to have a lifestyle befitting to the 'Kingdom of God’. The best example is the model of our Our Holy Mother Mary, who was greeted and assigned the greatest of all responsibility , that of bringing forth the Saviour to the world.

In our ministry for the youth, this is the opportune time. Once again being lifted up in faith in the Lord, let us work together, so that our cell groups, prayer groups, night vigils, adorations and each ministry, the barometers and reflections of our faith and the proof of our conversion, are filled with youth thirsting for the Lord alone. Let us concentrate well into the development of charisms enkindled through the infilling of the Holy Spirit our Helper, and from deep prayer and reflection. Let us lift up our ministries to the Lord's hands and ask his mercy and love to flow into each night vigil, each teens programme, each campus initiative, each music compositions and action song, each prayer meeting and everything that we do , so that the net result should be that it is the LORD who is being proclaimed and the same LORD being the master of all ceremonies/ministries/celebrations. " they praised God and won the favour of all the people. And everyday the Lord added to their number those who were being saved "
(Acts 2: 47)

Let us all open ourselves to the work of the Holy spirit, and together with our lifelong and lifestyles, rooted fully in Jesus, impact our ministries.

We as a ministry thank everybody who made Koinonia 2008 a great successes, our Pastor Binu George, and Our Bishop Thomas Macwan, deserve all our thankfulness. We lift up them, and all others to the lords hands and pray that, his heavenly showers of grace and mercy , keep outpouring in each of our lives.
In Jesus,
Byju Thomas

JY CONNECT

Hi All,

Friends, this is a fresh new initiative for all of us... i presume we are all aware of how pertinent internet has become in our everyday life...... sorry i think I've gone a little too far behind ... assuming that blogs and blogging is not new to us- I presume we are all aware of how pertinent blogging has become in our day to day life.. . If you dont belive then i bet you try using this .
So to cut a long story short this is a wonderful platform for all our JY's of gujarat to be connected , put forth our views and stay abreast of various activites planned or happening across Gujarat.
"Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear." (Ephesians 4:29)


Keeping this as the motif of this initiative i invite all of you JY's to post your views on various topics which are spiritual, news contents (could be christian and secular) that will help us all grow together.
