of realizing the true way and life...
 
               a reflection was`also shared on the quote where Philip asks Jesus to show him the Father and thats

JYMACE UPDATES 20 SEPT 2006

Hi dear family,
              Howz everyone?...Ellaarkum sughamale?(ee chodhyathinnu prasakthiyilla,ennalum chodikunnu)..Sorry for
delaying the 'updates' by around two weeks...not getting enuf time on net now...Also with the recent ban on orkut in
our college,involvement in our community over there is also gonna suffer...Still our yahoogroup is always here for
us,right?..
              The group on sep 20th was led by Shinto bhai and Midhun chettai;God bless them..Due to the Malankara
sabha meet over there,Vimalagiri school was not available to us and the group was held in the vimalagiri
chapel...everyone sat on the floor and this was a new experience to many...The group was based on the theme "what is
impossible to man is possible for God"...We`started off with the the song "Heaven is in my heart"(Hi Ajjo
bhai)...this also marked the emergence of our latest member of Music ministry-Deo Mathews of S3M;God bless
him......We had some initial sharing on how God has helped visibly many of us in our life..Then we had the word
sharing...Jinson of S5E shared that when Jesus said its difficult for a rich man to enter heaven,he really meant all
of us,not just the financially rich class...all of us are rich in one way or other;whether it be by
finanace,talent,spirituallity,friends and all other virtues...if we are not utilising these riches for Jesus,then it
will be really easier for the camel to enter thru the pinhole than us into heaven..(One of the fruits of
Proficus;God bless him)
                This was follwed by Shinto bhai's sharing of his experiences of the helping hand of God in his
life..he also shared with us his secret of success...If he wanted something from someone,he will pray for it first
and then ask his guardian angels to ask the guradian angel of the other guy about his desire..He shared about the
incident when he had to get some approval by our principal sir(We all know how hard a man he is to convince
something;God bless him)..So b4 entering his room ,Shinto bhai asked his guardian angel to tell princi's guardian
angel to make him agree to it...And he really did too..
                         This inspirational sharing was followed by an action song ,followed by reflection by Midhun
chettai on the various mediatotrs(if this word is not correct,please rectify) who are there for us....Holy
Mary,Saints,Saved souls,Guardian angels etc.....Then we had a silent song and started the mighy Praise & Worship....

                After the heavenly hour we concluded by celebrating the birthdays and welcoming of newcomers...Oh,I
forgot to mention it earlier...During that monday's core group,we had decided to enter into a mobilization mode for
our group(mobilization for one day progrm will be starting soon;please pray for it...Psalms 23 is the intercessary
part for the mobilization team)..Every wenesday noon,after finishing lunch in a giffy,we will span the campus and
share about and invite to group all whoeever we meet..That wednesday noon,the mobilization spree started and the
results were evident in the group many new comers were there and this followed the next wednesday also and still the
amazing grace of God worked and brought in many others.....The best part is that the new comers on the last
wednesday set out and invited many others to the next wednesday's group(almost like a chain reaction);God bless them
all...Really,God is working much visibly in our group....
             

With luv and prayers,
Jeffie John,
S5L...

Miracle Of Virgin Mary at Alexandria

THE VIRGIN SAVES A CHILD FROM UNDER THE WHEELS OF AN
EXPRESS TRAIN:

The mother and her child had moved to visit the Virgin
at Her Church at
Zeitoun. So, they came from Alexandria especially for
that purpose.
When they were trying to get off the train, at a
station seven kilometres
off Cairo, they were pushed by the multitudes. The
mother fell away
from the rails and was not injured. As for the twelve
years old son, he
fell under the wheels.

The mother screamed and passed out.

When she came to, she found her son by her side
calling: "Mother!
Mother!"

In amazement, the mother asked him how he made good
his escape. He
replied that he found, by his side, a Lady in white
garments and with light
emanating from Her face. She placed Her hand over his
head and he bent
it. Seven wagons passed over him. The Lady reassured
him saying, "Don't
be afraid, I am your Mother, the Virgin." When the
last wagon passed,
he rose and saw the Lady disappear. However, he still
feels the Lady
tenderly touch his hand, and Her beautiful sight still
haunts his memory.

Blessed be our Lady and the pride of our race. You
take good care of
your children, and hurry to their protection and help.

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me".
Phil 4:13

JYMACE UPdates...I'm back......

Hello everybody.....

A special wishes to our
kalyaannachaekkan Sujo bhai...A happy married life
from all of us here at JYMACE...
Really really happy to be back after a long
time....our classes and group have restarted now after
a break....i'm so happy to send a mail to my groupo
after a long time...was out of net for sometime...But
now back with a bang....

Last wednesday's group was based
on the healing of the paralysed at Bethseda;John
5:1-13.....the group started with an action song "Cast
ur burdens unto Jesus" and then moved onto Holy word
sharing...

After Bible reading,the insights were
shared...the healing power and mercy of Jesus was the
USP of the reading...Also was shared the need for
internal cleansing,which can only be done by Jesus and
Jesus alone...Eventhough the paralysed was beside the
healing pond for 38 yrs,he was healed only when Jesus
came into his life...similarly,even though we calim to
be in the true church for all these long years,the
true salvation comes only with the arrival of Jesus
and accepting him the true saviour,healer,King,mighty
one,holy one etc...

After this we had a sharing about
the recent outreach to Mallipara parish and the
experiences of Proficus attendees..a JY group was
started there by the initiatives of
Shinto(s7E),Benil(s7E),Nitin(s5C) and Jomy(s5M)...they
gave a really nice sharing and sessions over there and
initiated a group over there...God Bless Them...Please
pray for our Mallipaara Group also in ur prayers...

the sharing by proficus attndees(i don't know
whether that word exists in english !!!!!)...Three of
them(BinuMon and Isha from S3C,Jinson from S5E)...all
of them shared the insights and experiences gained
over there...a common feature was that all of then had
a really wunderful counselling..they also shared with
us their new decisions...God help them keep them..
After this sharing,the group entered into a beautiful
Praise&Worship..Then we welcomed a newcomer into our
group(Manju from S3E) and celebrated birthday of two
sisters(Manju from S3E and Gigi from S3C)..

Thats all for now....One day
program plans going on..Almost in final stage..Please
pray for that..GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU...

With luv and prayers,
Jeffie John,
S5L...

Psalms 91

 

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation


"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me".
