The youths at Thane meet every saturday at Andi-Sheba's house for a time for praise and worship,sharing and praying for each other.Andi Sheba work with JSK-Jeevan Sahara Kendra. They work with the HIV patients in and around Thane giving physical and spiritual treatment.
We have realized that we have had a lot of listening to the Word of God but there wasn’t much of application.
Jesus’ greatest commission in Matthew 28 :18-20 says we ought to make disciples of every nation, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
This was one thing which we lacked doing.
After a season of serious prayer and planning we decided to put this commission into action—to share the good news to the young and to the new believers. The youths will be splitting up onto groups of three.
We begin with a DTS—disciple training school with four young girls who are going to enter adulthood within a years time. We would share with them the Basic beliefs of Christian faith. This helps them to grow in a closer way with God.
Thus they will start attending the youth meets by next year. This will be conducted by Thomas and Sanjeev, Joash-- the assistants.
The other aim is to share with new believers. Here Santosh, Shirley and Anil will be taking a bible study at home were there are two brothers and a sister. This is the second group. The third group consists of Joshua, Juanita, Ryan, Reneta-they will be meeting with a HIV family who are being treated at JSK. We will be sharing with these two the message on how God cares for us. This gives us an opportunity to spiritually nourish them in knowing God better. And will help us to have an outreach program with these families.
Along with this we will continue meeting every Saturday at Andi-Sheba’s house for praying and encouraging each other.
