Young People Fellowship

Beginning this year, the Lord burdened me to take care of the young people in the church in Gruugram. Initially, I was a little hesitant, but gradually the Lord proved to me that this was the burden assigned to me by  Himself. In the beginning, I simply followed the normal procedure that has been carried on for years. Gradually, the Lord gave me the light to lead the young people in a living way.

First, I encouraged them to read the Bible daily with the goal of reading through the Bible once a week. Second, they need to spend time with the Lord in prayer, at least 15 minutes daily, and increase it to an hour or two. Third, they need to pursue at least a message a week in addition to the daily morning revival pursuit. Fourth, they need to pair up with one another for the daily morning revival and prayer, of which, I paired up with two brothers. Fifth, they need to maintain their Goodland record, their personal experiences and enjoyment of the Lord. Sixth, if they have any questions or concerns, they can contact me for a personal fellowship for which I will maintain confidentiality. Seventh, every Lord's day afternoon we would meet for Young People Fellowship when we would sing and pray together, and they would all share their truth learning from the past week, and also share the top portion of their Goodland, and then wind up the fellowship with "open fellowship" or Q and A, if any. 

I have been spending time with the young people week by week; encouraging them and fellowshipping with them. I enjoyed their fellowship and I hope they enjoyed my fellowship too. To strengthen the shepherding further, with some families and serving ones, we started a weekly pursuit with fellowship and prayer for shepherding the young people. The best time of a human life is youth. To shepherd them at this age is very crucial; to build them up in every practical way possible is an urgent need. Be it their daily living, studies, spiritual life, etc., I would love to offer help to them in whatever way I can. I have some definite goals for all them that they all would grow up to love the Lord more than anything else, join the full-time training one day, be well educated academically, and become proper and useful vessels tot he Lord as pillars to bear the Lord's testimony. They are the next generation or the Lord's move. For this, I volunteer willingly to shepherd the young flock in the house of God.

1 Peter 5:2 Shepherd the flock of God among you, overseeing not under compulsion but willingly, according to God; not by seeking gain through base means but eagerly.

Lord, bless all the young people You gave for my shepherding.
