....................ARISE...............

Hi dear family....................

                                                ARISE
           Come and Respond


                      Hi everybody...First of all,THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR UR PRAYER SUPPORTS......Couldnt have done anything without it.......

                                       At last,Arise has dawned in the horizon of MACE .....The program kicked off with two months of preparations and prayers by the JYMACE family all around the world...With His grace more than 300 people attended the program.....The evangelization treat started off with lighting of lamp by Reena chechi,followed by aashamsakal  by Reena chechi,Tiji bhai and Cija chechi....Then came the theme song by the music treat by our music ministry...the theme song "dhaivam viilikunu namme,villi keluvin...." was composed by Tenish(S3E);truly a marvellous one....A media presentation welcoming everyone to Arise was followed by a wunderful Praise and worship session by Jackson chettan....Actually,he was not feeling well on saturday.Still he managed to come here on sunday and conducted a truly amazing P&W session...the songs were "I lift my eyes up","Yes Lord" and "Aao prabhu"...the "Yes Lord " was so joyful that I,who was filming the whole stuff,kept away the media works for a moment and joined the group in dancing and praising the Lord....the worship was truly heavenly,with everyone taking part seriously...everyone in the audoitorium started praising God so beautifully and wunderfully....The music ministry impressed jackson chettan so much that he suggested them to start a new gospel band...Praise The Lord.....

                                  After the P&W,we had a rocking choreography by the song "We have come to worship him"(Destination Christ,Rex Band)....Then our MCs,Shinto bhai and Eugene taught us to shake hands in the name of the Father,Son and the Holy spirit....A skit was next on anvil...The skit was on how satan tries to extinguish the spirituality in us and how we can overcome that attack by the power of fellowship and group..the skit was a truly kidu sambhavam....the auditrm was filled with clapps throghout the skit...they have wunderfully mixed comedy and facts and managed to address the problems faced by the present day youths very effectively....Then came the song "Arise Shine Out".....
                
                           After the skit came the first resource session...The session was taken by M.A.Joshi chettan from Thrissur...he is working in St.Thomas college over there.....Satyam parayaalo,pulli puliyaayirunnu... His talk was interleaved with comedy and wit and serious matters....He really managed to hold the complete audience in his hands...The talk was really a youth centric one and the whole venue was filled claps and many were dissapopointed when his seesion came to an end...He talked about realising God's call and responding to it effectively....After the session,all of us departed for the food.....The food was bread and beef curry....Along with the food was inteviewing by the media ministry....

                             Afternoon session started with a song by Music ministry....Then came the second resource session  by Navajeevan Thomas chettan.....Pulliyude kaaryam parayaannengil pupuliyaa....He shared his life experiences... how he was before revival and how God transformed and equipped him to help the needy...His talk was about social committment each one of us shud have...Truly a touching one....We didnot realise how the time moved...Many were in fact crying after his session....Really a very gud sign...(I'm dissappointed that i cudnt attend his session completely.)...The session was followed by an equally touching theme skit....This sequence was truly God inspired...Initially the theme ski twas scheduled to be in morning and the other skit in the afternoon session...if it was like that,it wud not be that effective..The theme skit was a senti one,goin on lines of Thomas chettan's class and the other skit was an ollam one...the order was changed at the last moment and this proved highly effective in touching out people's minds...Praise the Lord Almighty..

                           After the skit was the Panel sharing....On the panel were Reena chechi,Tiji bhai and Sherin chechi(Prolife team)..the panel was coordintd by Midhun bhai.....Well,I cudnt attend the sharing..so can't say more abt it....The panel sharing was followed by a video presentation on JY and then came our initiative -> JYNEWS by our Media ministry....The entire program was covered with a Handycam and was made into the form of a news..Newsreader was Shinto bhai....As a first time event ,the program was wunderful..there were some prblems regarding sound and picture clarity...Still the stuff was gud and got a gud response....

                      Well...this was the lengthy details of the program....Along with the program was the Prolife exhibtion...It was visited by many,especially girls...this was new to many of them and due to His grace,we cud instill in them a feeling towrds prolife movement and its objectives....And the success of the program can be entirely attrubuted to a special ministry--------->Intercession ministry...There was strong intecession throughout the evnt in the chapel(and also around the world by our family)...We also gained much strength thru the night vigil conducted at Jeevajyothi on friday.....God's hand was clearly and visibly working throiughout the program.....The fruits are slowly ripening and showing out now...Please pray for the real fruits to show up and persist.....Thats all for now.....SHALOM

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