Novemeber 26th -- JMJ college of nursing - Sanathnagar


Ephatha - “Be Open” a two hour outreach program was requested by Sr. Alosian, for a time of fellowship by the JY team with the JMJ nurses.

With God’s grace the program started at 11 am sharp. This was something unusual since the JY team has a dubious distinction of always arriving late.

Around 90 students (including first years) participated in the program. Vignan & few students of JMJ started off with some action songs.

At 11.15 am, students of JMJ school presented a welcome skit for the first year students. It was very good and appreciated by many. Annette coordinated this skit.

After the skit, Princy gave an introduction about Jesus Youth happenings in JMJ school of Nursing.

Between 11:30 and 11:55 am there was a good time of praise & worship lead by Tresa Mathew & Princy.

Following this Sr. Mary shared the word of God till about 12:30. She shared on the theme importance - “Openness” - to our dear Lord & also shared some other experiences from her personal life.

Also she shared about the importance of nursing & encouraged all first year students.

Sr, Mary then lead everyone into a personal time of prayer and adoration which was between 12:30 to 1:00 pm. All students actively participated in this and at about 1:15 pm the program ended with an action song.

Annette, Vignan, Vijay Sundar, Prashanth Arts, Prashanth Khamam, Manu (Care Hospital) , Besto & Johnson Chetan participated in this program.

Sr. Alosian arranged snacks & tea for the JY team at 1:30.

Novemeber 25th 2006 --------- St Ann’s College - Mallapur

The JY-Hyd team at the behest of Annette(Full timer for JY-Hyd) was invited to St. Ann’s college-Mallapur for almost a day’s program to meet up with the students of the college to help & encourage them start off a prayer group at the college.

A 10 member JY-Hyd team went to St. Ann’s college for this and spent more than half the day, with the students encouraging and motivating them in this endeavor.

As informed, the JY team was expecting a small crowd of 30-40 students to be ministered to. However, some over enthusiastic students from the non-Christian community too volunteered to be a part of this event. So on reaching there at about 9:30 am the principal asked us to make all the sessions as generic as possible since now we were catering to a crowd of about 120-130 girl students most of which were non-christians. Immediately, we realized we had to scale up and tailor down some sessions, since we were not prepared for such a huge crowd. This included changing the ice-breaker event, having more song sheets photocopied etc.

Even before the students could assemble at the hall, the JY team first started off with a prayer and thanksgiving to our GOD. The team did not know what and how they were going to go about things but sought God’s divine intervention and HIS providence on the proceedings and in retrospect - as always it worked

The music ministry started off with some songs while students were still settling in the hall. On settling down, the action songs followed and after the initial reluctance there was good support. Two JY members Prakash and Abraham dashed off to the chapel for intercessions.

Vijay Sunder, the MC for the day then gave an introduction on the theme “THE CALL”. The ice breaker followed after this and Vijay co-ordinated it. As opposed to the planned “Mixed bag” just considering the no. of participants we switched to the “Slipper Hunt”. Everyone participated well in this event and had a good time.

Some more action songs followed suite and then after some slow songs, Ashvin lead them into a time of praise and worship. This brought about complete serenity and quietness descended on the hall as everyone silently just praised and thanked GOD. This lasted for about half an hour and at about 11:00 am the next session followed.

Prakash took up the following session on the Word of God. He encouraged the students to read the scriptures and quoted many instances from the Bible on the theme “THE CALL”. During this time the JY-team met outside and practiced the skit.

At about 11:30 am, a lunch break was announced and while students had lunch the JY team had a tea break. Everyone assembled at the hall at around 12:15 pm and then the music ministry started off again with some good music with Russel, Banarjee, Angela and Ashvin at the mikes. Action songs started and the students were ready for more.

At this point Vijay divided everyone into groups for a workshop session and 10 groups were formed. The groups were then asked to elect a leader from the group, select a name for the group, enact the title and also made sure that each member in the group got introduced to one another.

Each group then presented the act, wherein they enacted the group title…. Some groups took this a little too serious and did some extensive, elaborate acting to bring out the theme. After this there was a workshop session conducted by Annette and Vijay while the remaining JY members helped out. The Workshop was on “The Three trees”. After reading the passage and discussing the questions each team was asked to present their point of view on it. During this time some of the JY members had their lunch.

After a small break, everyone assembled in the hall to start off with action songs. A panel discussion followed. Annette, Chrysantia and Angela doned the stage and shared their experiences while Vijay intermediatarily posed some questions. This was a good sharing and many people seemed to connect with it as they listened in rapt attention.

At about 2:00 pm, Prakash presented in brief all about JY, its motto & mission. This was followed by explaining the six pillars in JY. Each pillar was explained with examples by 6 different people who included Prakash, Annette, Chrysantia, Abraham, Vijay and Banarjee. After this couple more action songs followed and the JY team gave thanks to the Mgt. and Sisters of St. Ann’s college.

After a note of thanks from one of the students to the JY team, Vijay brought down the curtains on this program and bid everyone thanks and farewell.

All the students dispersed at 3:00 pm, while some of the JY team members had lunch. During this time the JY team, had a discussion on the day’s events and to everyone’s understanding & agreement the day’s events went off rather extremely well.

“THE CALL” proved to be an introductory learning & to deepen their faith & trust in JESUS for all the students. It was dig at the students to study well while not forgetting to pray at all times. The message “Study Pray & Pray Study” was emphasized so that these students grow in faith and love in our Lord Jesus & in fellowship with one another.

The JY-Hyd team visited Shishu bhavan, at Secunderabad on 6th Nov as part of the Outreach ministry program to be amongst little children.

Shishu bhavan is an orphanage home for children run by the Mother Teresa’s congregation sisters. Jesus Youth's (JY) visit to this orphanage was one of the memorable visits. Looking at little faces, seeking for love and care can never be forgotten.

Around fourteen Jesus Youth, visited the place at 4:30 in the evening. Initially the infants were a little hesitant after looking at so many new faces. However, it did not take a long time to bring smiles on the little faces.

We started the program with distribution of cakes and crisps. The children then slowly started to talk and mingle with everyone. After this all the little ones along with the Music Ministry, blew their lungs out singing to our Farther God. JY ensured that every child got personal attention.

There are 55 children who were either picked up from the street or left unwanted by the family. Five of them were staying in a hostel for higher studies. The rest fifty included little ones below the age of ten years. Included in these children were some who could not speak, some who could not hear, & some mentally retarded & physically ill.

Inspite, of the physical pain and hardship, the glow that every child had was remarkable.
As everyone were singing and dancing, God too rejoiced with us, as HE opened the gates of heaven and there was a huge showers of blessing. Everyone gathered inside and spent little more time with the children.

No one realized but time just flew by & it was time for to leave. It stopped raining at around 6:00 pm when the JY team bid its good byes.

While the JY team were walking out, some of the children wanted to know when they would be back while some others asked 'Will you come back tomorrow?' With a thought to make the children continue to smile and hope that God will bring us back, the JY team sheepishly said

'Yes – we will come back some day very soon' and left from there.

The idea of having a “Leadership Training Program” (LTP) originated in Jul 2006 when the JY members from Hyderabad went for a training program to Bangalore. It was decided then that Hyderabad would need to have an LTP program for all its leaders in Andhra Pradesh.

Flame Keepers 2006 – an all Andhra, JY leaders training program was conceived in early November and was finally arranged from the 17-19th Nov, at Jyotirmayee society, Secunderabad. This was patronized by 55 members (about 22 girls), of which 15 were from Vijayawada, one from Adilabad, one from khammam while the rest were from Hyderabad.

The program commenced at about 6:30 pm on 17th nov, when only about 15 members were present. As in true JY style, it started with action songs lead by Russell with Ashvin as the MC, and gradually by about 7:30 pm there were almost about 30 people present. Mass followed and was offered by Rev. Fr. Cheriyachan (national pastor for JY) .

Fr. Cheriyachan presented the homily in a very innovative manner…. He requested that the lights in the hall be turned off and then everyone was distributed with an edible sweet ladoo. He then asked us to break the ladoo into two halves, consume one half and then exchange the other half with our neighbors … He then explained this action as the ladoo resembling a flame. This flame should always burn within us and we should always make sure that we exchange and pass this flame of love to all our neighbors around.

What better way than to so emphatically keep inline with the program theme –
“Flame keepers ’06 – Fan, Tend and Pass the flame of Love”.
This was a sweet welcome.

Mass got over at around 8:30 pm. Fr. Cheriyachan had to board a bus later in the evening and so after our thanks to Fr. Cherian, he bid us farewell and resumed on his journey.

Action songs followed again and a quick ice breaker – “Mixed bag”. While everyone enjoyed themselves in this interim, they also got introduced to each other and had some good time of fun.

Dinner was served at 9:00 pm, during which time some volunteers helped out in re-organizing and arranging the hall, altar for Taize prayer which was to follow.

After a good dinner (somehow food never seems to be a problem at any JY program, since we are always served with good delicious food-God provides), it was Taize prayer time. Most of them were attending a Taize prayer for the first time, and this was conducted by Rodney bhaiyya (an active JY member from Kerala who happened to be a part of LTP with God’s intervention & proved to be more than just a resource person). After teaching everyone some Taize songs, the lights were switched off & the huge candle lit, the Taize prayer began. Although it was late into the night, everyone actively participated in the singing and prayer which lasted for about 45 mins. At around 10:30 pm announcements for the next day were made and everyone was requested to retire to bed to wake up early the next day.

The program team then met up for a meeting to analyze the day’s events and also skim through the events for the following day.

The dawn of 18th nov, saw most of the JY members rise up by 5:00 am, and after a cool water shower in the winter cold everyone assembled in the hall at 6:15 am.

Adolf bhaiyya (JY-Hyd animator, now presently in Nalgonda) after a brief keynote address lead everyone into a time of praise and worship. Again a beautiful time to start the day with the Lord and all of us spent a wonderful time just praising and thanking GOD. This was followed by a small session by Rodney bhaiyya on personal prayer.

Everyone was then asked to remain and pray in silence and have their personal time for prayer.

Breakfast followed at 7:45 am and everyone re-assembled at the hall at 8:20 am in time for some action songs lead by Vignan. Marina and Vignan were the MCs for the day and Marina introduced uncle Rajan (resource person from Gujarat, who travels extensively throughout India, imparting the good news) who then took up a session on
Fanning the flame - “Relationship with God”. He quoted extensively from the Bible and made all of us aware of what and how should our relationship with GOD remain.

After this everyone was divided into small groups and we had a group sharing from the Bible on the topic - “Long walk to Emmaus”. There was a questionnaire pertaining to our walk and relationship with God so far, given to each group and the members were asked to share their experiences on them.

Rajan uncle took up the next session on Fanning the flame – “God’s call” and discipleship. He again quoted profusely from the Bible and intermixed this message with his personal life time experiences and testimony.

After a tea break at 11:30 am everyone assemble back at the hall again to start off with some action songs lead by Russell.

Naveen Thomas (resource person from Bangalore and an active JY member) commenced the next session on Tending the flame – “Constants in the life of a Disciple”. He stressed upon the importance of personal prayer, sacraments, Word of God etc. This session also had many people like Prakash, Besto, Annette, Prashanth, etc share their personal experiences.

Lunch was served at 1:00 pm and everyone got back to the hall at 1:45 pm. On the first day, all the participants were divided into different groups titled “Love”, “Joy”, “Peace”, “Understanding”, “Kindness” and “Temperance”…. So everyday different groups were responsible for cleaning the hall, serving the food, maintaining the time etc

Rajan uncle took the next session Tending the flame – “Importance of purity”. He touched upon topics of interpersonal relationships & sexuality, importance of confessions and made everyone to prepare for confessions which followed.

Fr Packiaraj s.j from Satyodayam, Fr. Arun Franciscan from Ramnagar parish and Fr. John helped everyone in making a very good confession which went on for more than one and half hours with still some people left to confess.

However, mass started at 4:30 pm and Fr. Arun offered the mass. In his homily, he spoke about “Love” and so beautifully he elicited its meaning. Love can be classified into 3 categories viz. eros, peros and agape. Eros is basically an erotic kind of love, while peros is a fellowship love, but all of us need to rise to the third level which is agape ie a God kind of love. This is the most supreme love of all.

After the mass which ended at 5:30 pm it was time for some recreational and outdoor games conducted by Naveen Thomas. He divided everyone into 2 groups and organized the “Dog and the bone” game.

At about 6:30 pm everyone reached the hall in time for the next session Tending the flame-“Cost & struggles of discipleship” which was taken up by Rajan uncle. he mentioned about the struggles in the life of a disciple, beauty of being a disciple and becoming a part of God’s plan.

This was then followed by Adoration conducted by Rodney bhaiyya and Rajan uncle. This was a time of inner healing and with all the lights switched off and just the blessed sacrament exposed & a burning candle at the centre of the hall, the environment seemed just to perfect to cry to the LORD and just surrender. One incident on humility carried out during this adoration was everyone was asked to stand in pairs and each member in the pair was asked to kiss the other person’s feet and pray for him. What better way to be more humble than to go down on the knees and kiss our neighbors feet?

Dinner was served at 9:00 pm and everyone returned to the hall by 9:45 pm for some action songs. Following this Rodney bhaiyya took up the next session on Personal prayer and leadership. Again a very informative session with supporting texts from the Bible, and some personal real time experiences.

Although extremely late at about 10:30 pm everyone was given a lighted candle and went outdoors within the campus into a rosary procession. In the cold night, with all us in procession reciting the rosary holding the small flame, this was an exhilarating experience.

Everyone retired to bed at about 11:00 pm while the service team members accompanied by uncle Rajan and Naveen met up for a discussion on the days events and the proceedings for the next day.

The final day of Flame Keepers 06 saw everyone rise early by 5:00 am and assemble at the hall by 6:15 am. The day started off with some action songs and then a time of praise and worship lead by Russell. Vandana and Prashanth were the MCs for the day.

After a time of personal prayer Rajan uncle took up a session on Evangelization and the zeal for it at 7:35 am. During this time, the service team met up along with Naveen to discuss on the other events for the day.

Breakfast was served at 8:15 am and after half hours time everyone got back to the hall to start off with some action songs.

Naveen took up the following session on “Methods of Evangelization”. It was a brief session and he skimmed through the given notes. Other topics covered were on advantages of team work, challenges and conflicts, practical aspects when we meet as a team etc. Following this everyone were divided into small groups of threes and were asked to share their personal testimonies with one another.

Tea break was announced at 10:30 am and after about ten minutes, the hall was full again. This time the session started off with a video clip on the life of “Pope John Paul II”. This was a half hour movie clip which showed how the Holy Father grew up to lead the catholic church, his extensive travels throughout the world spreading the Good News and his humility and love for everyone and spirit of forgiveness.

Naveen took up the following session on cell groups, its formation, importance and relevance in the life of a Jesus Youth. Along with this he also presented a brief intro on the JY movement and vision, its structure, happenings and focus. He explained on the charisms of a JY member and intermixed this message with personal testimonies on personal prayer, word of God from Rodney bhaiyya, Annette, Vijay, Prakash, Vandana.

He then divided everyone into 4 groups and presented each group with some characters. Each team member was asked to enact their character & then mention how they could blend with a group. This workshop brought about the essence of team work.

At around 12:00 pm there was a panel discussion where Fr. Tom (JY pastor from Bangalore), Rodney bhaiyya, Prakash and Marina took to the stage. Each one of them expressed their views on JY its happenings, history, various ministries, lifestyles, some testimonies etc. Also it had a brief Q&A session.

Lunch was served at 1:00 pm everyone enjoyed their final meal at Flame keepers with lots of excitement and joy. At about 1:45 pm on assembling at the hall, everyone was divided into the same 4 groups again and were asked to draw out a JY plan for the whole of AP. After a long discussion within the teams, each team was then asked to present their plan to everyone around. This saw a lot of new innovative ideas emerging on increasing the JY presence in Andhra.

Prakash then quickly read out the ministries that were formed and its coordinators. Following this, he named the tentative members that would be part of each ministry. Later everyone was divided into the respective ministry teams and then were asked to define atleast two immediate goals for their ministry.

After a quick tea break, it was time for Holy Eucharist at 4:45 pm. It was offered by Fr. Tom and Fr. Vincent (Youth director of Secbad and chaplin of JY-Hyd).

Fr. Tom gave the homily and apart from many things, he mentioned about “ICE” – Initiative, Co-operation and Event which should be a part of every JY member. He also asked us to be gutsy and have a “Go get it” attitude in his usual charismatic and enigmatic style of talk.

Everyone participated whole heartedly in the mass and towards the end everyone was given a candle. All the ministry coordinators were asked to come up to the altar and while their candle was lit, they just knelt down while the rest of the participants just prayed over them.

While invoking the Holy Spirit both the priests prayed on all the coordinators individually and gave their blessings. Later these coordinators passed on that flame to all the other participants and everyone was encouraged to exchange their candle(flame) with as many persons as possible. Again a very emphatic symbolization of passing out flame of love to everyone around. Fr. Vincent concluded the mass with his best wishes and prayers.

Towards the end of the program while Vandana with others’ help felicited the priests, nuns, resource persons with flowers, Prakash thanked them for all their contributions & for being available in making Flame keepers happen. He also thanked all the participants now newly formed leaders, for having come over and being a part of Flame Keepers.

Marina took up the onus of thanking the program team, service team and all the people behind the scenes responsible thus officially bringing down the curtains for Flame Keepers.

Finally, while everyone was dispersing for one last time everyone got together in the center of the hall and went berserk singing and dancing all the action songs one after another. There was so much joy and vibrance in the air that it was electrifying.

At last, everyone bid their farewells and moved along to their homes.

The program and service team members then met up and gave thanks to our Heavenly Father for all HIS goodness & kindness for just being with us all throughout this program. Later everyone presented their opinion & comments on flame keepers and acknowledged and appreciated one another’s efforts.

Flame Keepers ’06 has been an attempt to re-kindle & spark the flame that already had been burning within. It was an endeavor to enrich & encourage everyone to Fan, Tend and Pass that Flame of Love. The end objective was achieved to initiate new and strengthen existing ministries, identify coordinators and team members for each ministry and make them responsible leaders so that they can witness Christ and bring many more souls to HIM. Flame Keepers ’06 had been a fiery experience and we pray that this flame will ever “FLAME ON”.

The JY-Hyd team was invited to Ramnagar parish for a half day program to meet up with the youth of the parish and instill in them a sense of belongingness and ownership & responsibility towards its parish.

A 10 member JY-Hyd team went to Ramnagar parish for this and spent more than half the day, with the youth encouraging and motivating them in this endeavor.

There were about 17 members, of which 9 of them were girls present from the local church. They were very happy and cheerful to see and receive us.

The program started off at about 11:00 am with some action songs. Eabin was the MC for the day and kept the audience on their feet. After the action songs, there was an ice breaking session conducted by Eabin and everybody was relaxed after this.

Following this, we had a time of praise and worship lead by Jarald. A short time where all of us freely praised God giving thanks for all the marvelous work he was doing in our lives.

After this time, Fr. Vincent took over to present “THE WORD” … Fr. Vincent spoke for about an hour on the various aspects of team building and coming together as one community to serve and improve the parish.

This was followed by a sumptuous and some delicious Hyderabadi biryani for lunch. Everyone relished the food well.

After a rather quick lunch, everyone was called to assemble back at the hall and we had some action songs again.

This was later followed by enacting a skit “The Chair”. Jarald played the protagonist.
This skit elicited the idea that sin looks so beautiful initially, that we play around with it but then once we get used to it we become addicted and finally a slave to it…. Then no medicine, exercise, tantriks can help us but it is only through the power of prayer that we get out of it

After the skit we had a half hour sharing by Jarald who mentioned his testimony and his spiritual journey so far with Jesus Christ…. This was an inspiring witness as everyone listened with rapt attention.

We concluded, with a prayer and song and bid our farewells by thanking the priests and all the participants for their active involvement and for having us help them out in whatever little way we could.

The Ramnagar visit, though a short trip, we were able to drive home the message that everything is possible when we come together as a group with Jesus in control.

All the participants were definitely charged up towards the evening and we left them in the safe hands of Fr. Vincent and Fr. Arun who then lead them into planning and other activities for their parish.
