MESSAGE FROM THE DELHI CENTER PRESIDENT

Dear Brethren, Greetings to you in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We are privileged to be the members of St. Thomas Evangelical Church of India, because our church stands for real faith based on 66 books of Bible. God has called us to worship the Lord, in truth and spirit, edifying each other by fellowship and Bible study-not only that, evangelizing the world is our responsibility. I am so happy to write in the first bulletin of the Delhi centre youths union which is publishing now. This bulletin may enrich and enlighten the young people to know the Lord more and more. The Lord wants people to help in His great work of saving the perishing and yes, in His even greater of preparing a glorious church. He is looking for people who understand the burden in His heart. The Lord needs people to share in every facet of the big job He has in hand. The group of twelve who responded to Jesus call when He was on earth, were with Him all the time-so they could partake in all His work [Mark 3:14,15]. Jesus commissioned the disciples to make Christians of all nations. Paul, who joined the band of workers a little later, was told that he has been sent to the people to turn them from darkness and from the power of satan to God. This ministry is like the responsibility of a mother and father concerning their child - nourishing, instructing and bearing the people till they grow to the measure of the stature of Christ. Do you see how great the burden in Gods heart is? Will you take up His cause? You can be any man; the Lord is calling you to join His service. If you dont take up the work the Lord will get someone else. It is no ordinary task - working together with God! It cannot be done with physical strength, intelligence, knowledge or skill of any kind, but we must have strong confidence in the might, wisdom and ability of God to lead you, equip you and fight your battle against evil powers. So, dear child of God dont despise the great cause of God. You will regret it later, if you do like Esau, when its too late; enough of the old life, the old friends circle, the old plans and ambitions, the old cell phone and internet pleasures. If you share the burden of Gods heart, you need to share His mind too. Having been one with the Lord in heart and mind in everything, in eternity, you will be literally one with Him in the very place He is in, sharing His very glory, His very joy. Lets pray that Lord help us to be a person after our own heart. I wish all success to the youths union as you are going to involve in many activities of the Church. May God bless you abundantly!! Yours in His service, Rev. Dr. V. V. George Delhi Centre President

GARDEN OF LIFE
THEME : This song is about the life in the garden of Eden, how God created His beautiful creation and how it became the ray of life and how that life became life without god. The song also explains about the God's revelation to the people of earth regarding the New Eden Garden (Earth) that god is preparing for us. It is based on "Genesis - Chapter 2 verse 8" and "Revelation - Chapter 21 "
When the rain of the Words poured on this world the darkness was removed garden of life was raised we call it "EDEN GARDEN "
Seven days of Gods love and Word life started with two hearts garden where God walked where life can be seen through His art.
Two hearts became the ray of life. till their eyes saw the tree of life. tree that shattered the garden of life.
New garden will be raised by the blow of the horn where the glory of the God is shone garden where God will be praised. BY BIJO J. ABRAHAM

EXPERIENCING GOD IN DRYNESS

BY KAREN HESKA, CANADA
In 2005, I had the privilege of going to Niger, to serve as a nurse in Galmi Hospital with SIM (Serving in Missions). Located on the south edge of the Sahara in Niger, this 120-bed hospital provides compassionate care to Nigeriens from all walks of life. Providing medical care meets a real need in Niger where there is one doctor for every 30,000 citizens. The clinics at Galmi serve up to 300 men, women, and children daily, most of whom are Muslims. Niger is currently the third last country in UNICEFs Human Development Index. Here I will relate an experience that will never be etched out of my memory. It was 5 pm and I was whipping something together for the picnic we were about to have, when I heard the wind literally howling outside. I went outside and all I could see was a red haze. I ran to grab my camera and took pictures, managed just two because too much sand got into my camera and it wouldn't work after two pictures, and promptly the phone rang. I ran and barely gasped a hello, when one of the missionaries told me, it's a dust storm close all your windows and door. I closed my window, went outside and closed the door behind me and just stood amidst all the crazy dust blowing everywhere. Good thing I had my head scarf. It felt so good. I looked up and there were dark looming clouds overhead, and my body just surged with joy as I smelt the rain in the air. It was finally going to rain. Harvesters have been praying that there wouldn't be another famine. That their crops would finally grow. That there would finally be some income. You heavens above, Rain down righteousness Let the clouds shower it down Let the earth open wide Let salvation spring up Let righteousness grow with it I, the Lord, have created it Isaiah 45: 8 A few of us finally left for the picnic site, which would be up this hill overlooking a reservoir. The reservoir was almost this faded blue colour, while the greenery around it was this stark emerald colour that looked so refreshing. Life. Springs of living water. We unloaded all the picnic stuff on to the big black boulders. I took a deep breath and took in my surroundings. I felt like I was looking at something I've only read about in novels or seen in movies. It wasn't lush but there so much beauty to it. Then I felt it. The first drop. On my toe. I looked up, and all I could see was different shades and hues of black and gray.

Then came the downpour. I wouldn't say I felt a tear down my cheek, but I was overwhelmed with happiness, so much so that I knew I was crying. I just ran from boulder to boulder wanting to experience the rain in all its fullness. Everyone's laughing and shouts of joy became a distant hum to me as I twirled around knowing no one was watching me. Well except for Them. The rain started to feel cold, and I went to the highest boulder, scared to death in case I slipped and fell. I took a step towards the edge, closed my eyes shut, turned my eyes heavenward, and lifted my arms up. If only I could describe what I felt. Then everyone's voices was raised, so I opened my eyes and lowered my arms, and turned around cautiously. There was a whirlwind of dust. It was coming fast. I heard one person say that doesn't look good, we better head back. It seemed like a blur but all of a sudden, I felt dust in my eyes and mouth and rocks were pelting us. We were caught in the middle of the rain and dust storm. I couldn't breathe but the car was so far away I had to get there. I kept trudging forward, slipped a few times, was in so much pain...but I thought of Jesus, and how he was in the roughest part of the boat during a storm, the stern. I felt calm, comfort, as if the world has just slowed down. He was walking me through it. But then Joel (one of the missionary children) was running around, with his arms to his ears and crying, so I tried to pick him up, but he refused crying for his mommy. We finally reached the car, Joel with his mother, me safe in the arms of Jesus...panting a little. I smiled whispered a thank you..and closed my eyes and leaned against the window pane, with the rain lashing against it I heard was Joel asking his mother, Mommy why did God send a scary rain... Was in and out of conversations...Joel asked his mother if there really was something called gold. Could see the flashes of lightning even with my eyes closed, and then the roaring thunder a few seconds later After our dinner on the compound, everyone went to the Z's house to watch Narnia. Since I've already seen it, and had no desire to watch it for the second time, I walked back in the drizzle. By the time I was in bed, the power went out, and all I could hear was the torrential rain against my corrugated tin roof. It almost seemed as if the rain was trying to outdo the thunder in the monstrosity of sound. Open up the heavens, Let Your glory fall Open up our hearts, That we would know You

FORGIVENESS
BY SEBAN BABU
When I was asked to write an article, I thought what should I write about? So I pondered on what we really need in todays world and that one thing that most of us youngsters lack is FORGIVENESS. But few people that I know personally or I have read about really helped me to understand what true forgiveness is. Lets first understand what it means. Forgive Means to grant pardon or to cease to feel resentment against someone (Dictionary.com). We all sometimes in our life find it difficult to forgive someone for their act or action. It could be someone within our family or from office, a friend or a Church member. But is it the RIGHT Christian attitude? Is there something that cannot be forgiven? Well most of might say YES. But thats not what Bible teaches us, it says that with GOD everything is possible. We all remember the Australian missionary Mr. Graham Stains. He and his two sons were burnt alive for their faith in the Living God. If something like this happens to our family we will surely not be able to forgive those who are responsible behind such an act. But Mrs. Stains and her daughter had no anger or hatred for those people. Everyone thought how they could forgive the wrong doers but the question that her daughter, Esther, asked her mother was, She cannot understand how they (the world) cant understand why we have forgiven. The Holy Bible also teaches us to forgive others for their sins. Jesus Christ Himself set an example for us when He died on the cross for our sin, even at that time He asked GOD to forgive those who are persecuting Him as They dont know what they do Also it is written in Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful for they will be shown mercy. But why is it so important to forgive? The Bible also tells us why we should forgive. Matthew 6:15 But if you do not forgive men their sin, your father will not forgive your sins. As we all are sinners, we all need forgiveness from GOD. As we have forgiveness in our life (Jesus died for our sins on the cross), it is possible for us to forgive others. It might be difficult but sooner or later we will realize that forgiveness brings healing in our life. Once we forgive someone all the hatred and bitterness we have for that person will vanish and this helps us to start our life afresh. It librates both the forgiver and the forgiven. Forgiving does not mean forgetting. However as the Bible teaches us that we should not judge others or God will use the same measures to judge us too (Matthew 7:1). So we just need to offer our anger and hatred to God and let Him do the judging. We all must have said a thousand time during our Sunday service or while praying Matthew 6:12 Forgive us our Debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. Its about time we understand the true meaning of these words and put them into practice.

KNOWING GODS WILL FOR OUR LIFE

BY FEBIN MATHEW
If we notice anything around us, from the tiniest of insects to the largest of animals, we can easily conclude that the thing has a purpose or it can be used in a certain manner to achieve certain objective. Whenever man makes an invention he does so with the knowledge of what he wants from his creation. So is the case with us humans. When God created us He had certain things in His mind that He wanted us to achieve exclusively, excluding other human beings, for Him. Hence if we were to ask the question what is the purpose of our life? We should rephrase it as what is Gods purpose in my life? and the only place from where we can find this answer is from God Himself, our Creator. The easiest way to discover the purpose of an invention is to ask its Creator. For everything, visible and invisible, everything got started in Him and finds its purpose in Him Colossians 1:16 (Message) Hence ask God of His will in your life and unless we do that life is not going to make any sense to us. It is in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, He had His eyes on uspart of the overall purpose He is working out in everything and everyone Ephesians 1:11 (Message) Thus we may chose our career, spouse, hobbies but we dont get to chose our purpose. Importance of knowing Gods will One will concentrate his or her effort and energy on what is important leading to greater effectiveness. Knowing Gods will motivate our life. Knowing Gods will prepare you for eternity. We are not on earth to create a legacy for our self but for an eternal life in heaven that God has prepared for us. When one does Gods will one will bring glory to God.
One of the basic purpose for which God has sent us is to spread the word of the Lord (the great commission), no matter what other purpose you may have in your life.

DEAR LORD. WE NEED TO TALK!!!!

Prayer is the most powerful method for a conversation with the God Almighty, The grammatical analogy would throw light on its usage and content; here prayer is highlighted as a request, however, through prayer God expects us to drive beyond requisitions and summonses. One of the finest examples of an ideal prayer is the Lords prayer (Mathew 6:10-14), the most remarkable element in the prayer is an acknowledgement that as the God has taken care of us in each dimensions, we are also bound to give back the same to His children, as the most humble line says, Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. It is a high time, we realize that our prayers have stated reeking of egocentrism (our prayers center around, myself, my family, my job, my car); lacks the effort to bond with the Almighty as we put weights of a vicious circle of conditional love (Dear God I will light 100 candles for you if you give me a better job). When we talk of striking a conversation with our God, there should be a limited space for talking about ourselves and create more arena for speaking with passion about the concerns of very individual whom we come across. Yet another perfect citation of a humble prayer is the Jobs prayer (Job 1:20-22; Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped), and even the prayer of the St. Francis of Assisi (.Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love.) These convey a selfless and basic love our Father in heaven. The question raised here is not just to ponder over the lack of substance in the prayer but also realize that a prayer need not be ornamented with superfluous but must understand that it is only passion and selflessness that will be heard by our Father in heaven. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love.

WHATS SO AMAZING ABOUT GRACE?

BY JUCIN LIJO JOHN But He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness. (2 Corinthians 12: 9, NIV) This is probably one of the most quoted verses of the Bible and no doubt it certainly is a front runner at deserving to be so. However, do we ever take the time to ask ourselves what grace precisely means? What would happen to a grace-less world especially as we take His grace for granted more often than not? The Cambridge dictionary defines the word grace as approval or kindness or help of God. Its obvious that grace is a term that is associated only with God and it encompasses a lot more than just approval. However, isnt it ironic that many of us crave approval and kindness but look to the wrong source to satisfy that craving? The Bible clearly states that all we have to do is to look to Him to satisfy that need for approval. However, havent we all at various points in our lives, hoped to gain the approval of other mere mortals (who can give us only approval and not GRACE) when all we had to do was look to Him who was always ready to grant us all three-approval, kindness and help? Do you have a good imagination? Can you fly like the birds, build castles in air, swim like the dolphins and read the stars? Well, your imagination works just fine! Now, imagine a world that cant comprehend the concept of grace because it does not exist there-a grace-less world. What do you see? I see suicides on the rise because people feel a lack of something they cant even name. I see an increase in the number of broken people probably feeling set adrift in a stormtossed sea called life with no anchor and no destination. Now, step out of that imaginary world. Do you notice the similarities between that world and the real one? Both worlds appear the same except for one differencein the imaginary world people didnt know grace because it didnt exist. However, in the real one, people feel set adrift because they do not acknowledge grace or havent been made aware of it yet. Acknowledging Gods grace is an important aspect of our journey. It is our protection when faced with the herculean task of handling the mammoth called life. Furthermore, because of who He is and the grace which is a part of who He is, He chose us to showcase His power. A humbling thought, isnt it? Only the best writers and lyricists can pin down the multi-faceted aspect of grace and one of the most successful in that field is probably John Newton (1725-1807). This English slaveship captain turned poet and clergyman is well known today for this poem (now a hymn) of his: Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed!

HE IS FAITHFUL
BY KEVIN VARGHESE JOSEPH, CSI, HYDERABAD
Its an age old saying - Life is not a bed of roses... And yet, we get so weary and worn out by the insignificant problems we face in life. We paint a horrid and catastrophic picture of the problems we face and sometimes wonder - does it make sense to even exist? We always worry about the way life unfolds before us and wonder what would happen if something were to go wrong. I guess, thats only because we dont hand over the reins of our life to God. Let's just go back 3400 years... Moses was told to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt into a land flowing with milk and honey. Moses took that leap in faith, and led approximately 3 million odd Hebrews - young and old, faithful and faithless alike, on an epic 40 year journey. I'm not sure about the others but I've always wondered what I would have done if I were Moses. I know for a fact that if I knew the sheer time-scale of the journey at hand with over 3 million mouths to feed and an unforgiving terrain deprived of food and water, it would have been plenty enough - to give me a heart-attack !!! Just imagine you being there with Approximately 3 Million people - including infants, teenagers (Yikes !!! ) and the extremely old people; apart from the others who have time just to complain about the cruelty of life. Limited food supply (probably just about enough for the first few weeks). And flocks of sheep, goats and other livestock probably without number. The very thought of feeding them (let alone the other problems) gives me Goosebumps... But The LORD was faithful... The first few verses of Deuteronomy 8 : 1 4 says And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD. Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years" The Bible says that our God provided for the Hebrews more that what they had ever imagined and fed them and took care of them. Neither their garments nor their footwear wore out. God provided. Our God has never once told us that a Christian life would be devoid of problems and tribulations. We must understand that we face these trials and tribulations for the strengthening of our spirit, mind and most importantly place our trust in Him. All we need to know is this If our God could take care of 3 million odd people in the midst of trouble, then surely he could take care of us now because He is faithful and has not and will not change.

WHY DOES IT HAPPEN TO ME? When Everything Goes Wrong

BY PRINCY VARGHESE
There always comes a time in everyones life when all things goes against what is planned and the most frequent question that comes into one persons mind is that WHY DOES IT HAPPEN TO ME? This is the most common one question and also the one whose answer is never straightforward. We always simply see one side of life. We always think that God is doing injustice to us but we never think or know about others who are experiencing similar situations. But there is one thing that we need to know, beyond all the dark doubts that we have in our minds that when we follow GOD, He works out all things for our good. This does not mean that everything that happens to us will start off beautifully, but it will end up doing good to us. Our Almighty GOD is GOD OF LOVE AND PEACE and hence if we are suffering HE is affected too. To understand the reason why, we must look from the view point of GOD. We should have faith in Him that He is trying to build us into stronger persons, and the greater our problem greater will be HIS Help and Support. HIS way is straight and pointed towards the light of Heaven. The world's way is crooked and leads to darkness and destruction. Let us not confuse the two! Only when we are in God's light can we see the reason for our problems. When we have the blessings of Christ, we will be able to discern why things happen to us, both good and bad. God has a plan for each of our lives. The only way to know it and fulfill it is to follow Him. Many people who are not taking the path that God has planned for them to take have troubled times. Every person has his or her own race to run. It is not about having the highest education qualification, acquiring the highest drawn salary, or whom we fall in love with. It is all about how we follow our MASTER. Gods thoughts and Gods ways are higher than our ways. We dont always know why things happen but whatever bad has happened in our life, God can turn it into something good not only for you but also for someone else. God's promises that all things will work together for good when we love Him. And the good that all things are working together for is to conform us to the image of Christ. But, to claim this promise we must be under God's protection willing to obey HIS authority.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose. ROMANS 8:28

REPORT
Report on Sevinisamajam Retreat February 26th 2011, Safdurjung Parish

THEME: WOMAN IN FAMILY, CHURCH, SOCIETY
Woman Empowerment, womens role in fighting for their rights are some of the
contemporary topics that has been voiced in the recent past. But this was something different. When the women of the Delhi centre decided to come together on a specific theme of a womans role in family, Church and society where God created woman to be a blessing than a burden and to understand their roles in exalting God, it indeed turned out to be a blessing for all those who attended. On February 26, 2011 Delhi centre organized a one day ladies retreat at Safdarjung Parish. The meeting started at 9.30 a.m. with an opening prayer by our Delhi Centre President Rev. Dr. V. V. George. Sevini Leelakochama and Achen shared from the Word for the retreat. The first session was based on the book of Luke, chapter 1, and the character she introduced was that of Mary, Mother of Jesus. She shared how Mary was chosen for the role of being the mother of Jesus and the situations she had to go through for this important role and how she humbly accepted to be available for this purpose without any complaints. Sevini Leelakochama encouraged each one of us to be willing and available to how the Lord wants to use each of us to be a blessing. She shared this based on Luke 2:38 and exhorted us to be submissive as Mary said I am your servant, may it be to be as You have said. In the following session, participants divided themselves into groups of 5-6 each. Different prayer requests were brought together from different parishes and all pleaded to the Lord for the various needs of the Church, families and other individual prayer concerns. It was indeed a time of blessing as we all poured out to the Lord our concerns believing He would answer the prayers according to His will. The second session shared by George Achan was a time of encouragement for all mothers. It was a session on parenting, on how to bring up children showing them the need of a Saviour and how to make them grow in the fear of the Lord. Achen shared very crucial thoughts of being appreciative as parents, to be positive and to be model parents. He also quoted the example of Susanna Wesley who used to pray for her nineteen children

REPORT
daily and how some of her children like John Wesley and Charles Wesley turned out to be a blessing for the Church and society. He emphasized and urged the families to be Christ centered and children centered. After the lunch break a very interesting song quiz was held. In this quiz a team had to provide the reference Bible verse against the song sung. Participants were divided into two groups and all the women participated with great enthusiasm. Mrs. Jolly Saju led the quiz. It was a neck to neck but a very healthy contest where the losing group was just a point behind the winners!!
The final session of the theme exposition based on the role of woman in family, Church and society was shared by Leelakochama. Kochama emphasized that woman in a family should have love which is of utmost priority, should be a wife in this home of love as one who has a submissive attitude and should have a noble character. She quoted the examples of Hannah, Jochebed and Louis who were blessed mothers who brought up blessed children like Samuel, Moses and Timothy . The second part of the role of a woman in church was explained quoting Phoebe, Aquilla & Priscilla; how we as women should be a blessing to the Church and people whom we are involved with. The third part of the role of woman in society was given based on the Biblical examples of Abigail who had good judgment, Esther who took a whole nation and Deborah who stood in the gaps putting in everything as their contributions to the society. The speaker challenged us to be available for the Lord; to the service of home, Church and society. We committed ourselves to His calling. Before we departed, Achen made an announcement about giving and that we should not have any deficits for the program. A contribution was made by all the ladies who were present and praise God, there were no deficits and God gave more than what was needed. He is Jehovah Jireh!! The retreat concluded with prayer and Mrs. Marykutty Thomas, Sevini Samajam Secretary, Delhi Centre thanked all those who attended. All returned spiritually revived.
