JYMACE Updates 09/01/08

"Praise the LORD.How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him!"(Psalms 147:1)

Dear family in Christ.....

All glory and honour be to the anointed one - Christ....Through the anointing He has passed on to us throught the Church and the strenghtening of our weak spirit through His Holy Spirit,we had yet another wonderful week here...Even in the midst of the exams,the group is strenghtened beyond all measures....


Te prayer meeting of 9th Jan was led by
Deo(S5M) and Manju(S5E)...The theme centered on Psalms 147-> 'How beautiful it is to praise and worship Him'..Be it in your sorrows,be it in your joy,praise the God Almighty always,with whole of your heart,whole of mind and wholeof your strength...The prayer meeting started off with sharings on the strength and beauty of Praise,with experiences to quote...How praising God strengthened them in the moments of despair,how it enhanced their joy,how it removed any trace of doubt or sadness....

The Praise and Worship was preceeded by the action song "Oh!What a beautiful day,my Jesus.."....The P&W was sweet and strong,with strong praising,followed by a brief moment of silence to listen to His voice.Then we had the Word of God sharing from the Psalms,a break from the usual New Testament....

The Professional Ministry Newsletter is now put up in our
Jesus Youth website(India)...It can be downladed from there...Both issues are uploaded...
.Please pray for the forthcoming issues of the newsletter..We are also searching for a nice name for it..If you have any suggestion,please convey it to jypmnl@yahoogroups.com...GBU...


With luv and prayers, Jeffie John Parackal

JYMACE Updates 02/01/08

"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." (Matthew 7:12)


Dear
family.......

A very happy new year to you all from everyone here at the 'Kothamangalam chapter' of the 'international movement' that is JYMACE...How was the new year celebrations all around?...Also Lijo chetta, a very happy married life from every JYMACEian around the globe..The life in MACE is going very 'cooool' with the uni exams...Still,the Spirit of God is keeping everyone,especially the ones who attented the SAC,with a spirit and vigour.


The prayer meeting of 2nd January, our first prayer meeting of 2008, was led by Edin(S5M) and Assa(S3C), the theme based on the 'Golden rule' of Christian life ->"Do unto others what you would have them do unto you"...Being the prayer meeting after SAC, the experience sharings filled in most part of it...Due to the exams, most of us couldn't attend, but many of dear first year could go for it and return with a new spirit... For all of them, this was their first Jesus Youth program in the central level... The kind of moulding they had over there was awesome....Especially the sessions on leadereship, fellowship and the Holy adoration hours....

The action song " Every single cell in my body is happy" once again managed to strike the chord and really made every single cell in our body happy.The Word of God saharing was based on the passage Matthew 7:1-12. The words of assurance "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."(Matt 7:7) and the Golden rule were quite apt for the moment( and throughout our lives...)..The Word of God never cease to hold up its magic!!!...


A scent of our core group reconstitution is the air over here...Please do pray that the Spirit of God leads us in the right way and choose the right people for the next team...The new coordinators and the new team;let it be what the group needs, as per the will of GOD, to carry forward the gift,the blessing,the family -> JYMACE ..... GBU....
