Greetings of love to all young people in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, who calls us by name!

The prophecy given by the Lord through Joel says: "Your young men shall see visions" (Joel 2:28). Peter notes in Acts 2:16 that this prophecy was "spoken by the prophet Joel" and was coming to pass. Following this, they all began their gospel work with a vision. As a result, "the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved" (Acts 2:47).

A vision or foresight is focused on a future goal. It is a forward-looking, inspiring statement that shows what an organization desires to achieve or how it wishes to ascend to a higher state in the future. It is a clear picture of success. Those who receive this vision should not keep it to themselves but must share it with others around them. When shared, it brings growth and success.

In 1959, about 25 members of the VBS Friends Fellowship gathered to pray in a room in Kovilpatti. Because the Lord placed a special spirit within the hearts of those who gathered, they received a clear vision from the Lord to enter into a definitive plan of action. This missionary movement, known as the Friends Missionary Prayer Band (FMPB), was born out of that vision. In 1967, this movement sent out its first missionary. By continuing to pray and act with vision, it has grown into the massive movement it is today.

Leonard Ravenhill’s maxim states: "Vision and passion are the two essentials for a successful Christian life." We can take Nehemiah as an example of this. He was one of the greatest among leaders who pray. Because of his absolute faith in the Lord, he completed even the most difficult tasks that seemed impossible. His prayer, sacrifice, hard work, and stubborn determination all helped fulfill the vision the Lord gave him to rebuild the wall.

               Beloved youth! Do you have a vision for your future? If you are in a state where you have no such vision, surrender your future to the Lord. Do not forget that you have the responsibility to proclaim the Gospel to all Indians. If you receive a vision, the Lord will help you find strength in the field.

During the 21st to 24th of this month, there will be a special gathering for youth at the Annual Camp held in Danishpet, Salem. We affectionately invite each of you to come and participate along with your friends, church members, and relatives. We eagerly look forward to your arrival at this camp.

May the grace of God be with you. Amen!

In Christ's Service,

J. Daniel Arulmani
