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...

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....

Group 19/12/2007

Dear family.....


Wishing my dear family a happy and prosperous New Year... May the Lord Almighty bless you all in this 2008,as He has been doing since time immemorial...
The group of 19th dec,the last prayer meeting of 2007, was led by Arun(S7L) and Jeffie(S7L), centered on the theme "Rejoice always,'cos you are in His mighty hands"...Being the last prayer meeting of the year and due to the ongoing uni exams, the group was filled with a special spirit..The group started off with the usual songs and an action song "I wanna clap,clap,clap"....The action song was followed by a brief outline of the history of Taize...The praise and worship was in the Taize form...Truly an amazing experience to all....

The word sharing was based on the passage 1 Thesslonaians 5:16-... After reading of the Holy Bible,everyone were paired with their neighbour and asked to share the insights among them...After the 'pair sharing', a few of them came forward and shared what they had shared in the pair.... The key insights included that we ought to respect our authorities and elders, as is mentioned in the scriptures...The classic hobby of a student, that is to ridicule his/her teacher , is not what God expects from them...Also the will of God for us is to always rejoice,pray without ceasing and give thanks to God in all circumstances.... Suppose we have a cabinet minster as our elder brother,do we have to worry about all the troubles encountered in our daily lives?...No, we just have to use position and power of our brother..So then why do we make a fuss over silly matters, even when we have Jesus,the king of kings ,as our dear brother and Saviour?.... God has called each one of us into His glory,majesty and richness... All it takes is the supreme faith and commitment to Him, to partake in His glory.If He has died, its for us to live.... So rejoice alwayz....

After the Word sharing, all of us sang out together "Our God is an awesome God..."... Before winding up, each one of the earlier pairs were designated as the Christmas friends for this season... A new concept, I guess.... After this, everyone departed, wishing a merry Christmas to all....





With luv and prayers,
Jeffie John Parackal

"Let the little children come to me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the Kingdom of God" (Mark10:14)
 

Dear family in Christ…

 
                                      Looks like everyone is excited about Rendezvous '07…Surely gonna be a great gathering of our dear family after a long time…. Now with the end of the semester and start of study leave, we r really gonna miss our college and prayer group for some time (only physically though!). This week, we had a really 'cute' prayer meeting, led by Sumi (S5L) and Bineesha (S5C), centered on the theme ' Be like a child'.  A child is always frank, cute, innocent and always speaks out his/her mind. As we 'grow up', we lose that innocence. But in front of our God Almighty, we r all tiny tots, each one still in his/her teething stage. The group started out with songs and the action song 'Who gives the faith….' This was followed by sharings by our dear Anna chechi (2006 civil) and Robin chettan (present Professional Ministry Fulltimer). We also had our dear Sherin chechi (2007 Computer) along with us.
 
                                                The Word of God sharing, which followed, was based on Mark 10:13-16; Jesus blessing the children. During the sharing, the need for calling up our Heavenly ABBA Father was emphasized. There is a story about a rich man (a very rich man indeed!!!). There was a rich man, who earned in excess of Rs.50k per month. One day he saw his youngest daughter sitting on the doorstep, all worried and tensed up. On asking what the matter was, he got a reply that she had to bring Rs.10 to school the next day and she was worried where to get it from. Just imagine how the loving Dad must have felt. Even in His richness, his dear daughter was worried how to find this small amount all by herself. Are we any different? In many a situations, we tend to find solutions for them by ourselves. We forget about our loving Heavenly Father, who is out there to remove all our sorrows and share His riches with us. We do sing, " I'm trading my sorrows, I'm trading my pain, I'm laying them down, For the joy of the Lord…. Yes Lord…."… But do we really trade them up? Can we really say a Yes to the Lord? Do we really call Him with the love and closeness befitting a Father and a son?
 
                                      During this meeting, we had the first years outnumbering everyone else, in spite of their ongoing first series exams. Praise God…  Please do keep them in your prayers. We are also gonna have our Christmas celebrations on the coming Wednesday. Everyone's pretty excited about it… Our Uni exams are to start on this 18th. Please keep us also in ur dear prayers. Another happy news is the launch of the second issue of the Professional Ministry newsletter… After a long delay of 9 months, the 'baby' is finally out. Hope it will be a light in the paths of many... The soft copy will be uploaded very soon.. Thank You very much for ur valuable prayers and support..
 
Together in Spirit,

With luv and prayers, Jeffie John Parackal
