Dearly beloved in Christ,
Greetings in Jesus’ Precious Name!
A teenager was angry with his parents for interfering in his life. Whenever he comes home late at night, his mother sits and waits for him. Where did you go? asked the father. He did not like this. I'm an adult, why don't you leave me alone? Am I not free? Why are you interfering in my life? He said angrily.
On a Sunday morning he went to the church and attended the service on the compulsion of his parents. That day the pastor was talking about divine love. God intervenes in our lives because He loves us. If he leaves us to perish, we have no hope. The preacher was talking about the fact that we have hope because He intervened in our lives through the love of Calvary. Hearing this, the boy's eyes opened. Alas! My parents interfere in my life because they love me. Without knowing this, he had spoken to them.
Do you know how many times God's love has intervened in our lives? The divine love expressed through Christ on the cross of Calvary is a redeeming love, a love that poured out everything for us. Christ has done all that ought to be done to the extent that He can say that He can do nothing more. When we look to the cross, we see the love that has ransomed us by His precious blood. Will we surrender ourselves in exchange for that love? Will we look to the cross to be perfected in that love that never forsakes us? Let us grow in the love of Christ.
In His service,
J. Daniel Arulmani

Greetings of love to my dear young hearts, in the name of Jesus.
As we step into the New Year, I am eager to connect with each of you. The Lord, in His boundless grace, has shielded and guided us as the apple of His eye throughout the past year. In Isaiah 6:3, we find a vision where the seraphim and cherubim gaze at each other and proclaim, "The Lord of Hosts is Holy! Holy! Holy!"
In Hebrew, the repetition of the word "Holy" three times signifies an unparalleled and supreme state. Indeed, His Holiness surpasses all attributes of the Lord. Our worship is directed towards a God great in holiness. Holiness is not merely a primary quality of God but also His foremost desire for His people. The Lord, who calls His people to holiness, declares, "Be holy, for I am Holy; I sanctify you."
Dear brothers and sisters, do you believe that holiness is unattainable in your life? Does living a holy life pose a daily challenge for you? Remember, challenges become surmountable as you fix your gaze on the cross each day.
Those who turned their eyes to the cross found victory in holy living. Learn to embrace a life of holiness, look to the cross, and live in holiness. The Lord will abundantly provide you with the necessary graces.
May the Lord bless you abundantly. Amen!
In God's work
J. Daniel Arulmani.

Greetings of love to the beloved of Christ!
The Bible begins with the glorious creation and ends with God creating a new heaven and a new earth. Isaiah the prophet says, “Behold I create new heavens and a new earth. The former are no longer thought of. It does not appear in the mind (Isaiah 65:17) John says ‘I see the vision that Isaiah saw’.
‘I saw new heavens and a new earth’. The truth conveyed is: all the evil activities in this world
will come to an end, we get a new hope that everything will be new, and we get the hope
that we will live with our Lord eternally. Andhra State site visit from 1st to 4th October
was a great blessing. The 4 young people who came to our mission centre for the first time had
a clear understanding of missionary work. This visit gave them a great learning experience and
paved the way to dedicate themselves. On October 8th and 9th, our Youth Leaders
were able to learn, know and understand how to implement new strategies at the Leaders
Training Conference held for Young Leaders. On October 16th (3rd Sunday) the young
people belonging to the Thiruvallur zone started the monthly prayer-gathering.
Young people participated enthusiastically in Karnataka State Camp held on October 22nd
and 23rd in Bengaluru. The meeting was useful to the young people who could learn how to
overcome the social challenges they face and to make a concrete decision to live a holy life
for God.
forget to pray, plan & participate along with your Youth Prayer Group members.
May God's hand be with you, protect you and guide you.
In the work of Christ,

Dearly Beloved in Christ,
Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ who reigns over all!
William Booth (Salvation army founder) had seen a vision. The dark stormy clouds of the
sea were filled with countless people floating, drowning, screaming, and shouting. There I saw,in the midst of this dark raging sea, a strong and tall rock beneath which it had a wide platform and I also saw many people struggling to climb on that platform and escape. I was very much upset in seeing those who fled like that, who do not care at all or not feel responsible for those who were struggling to survive in that lost sea. But only a few sacrificed themselves to redeem those who were struggling to get out of the sea.
We cling to Christ to escape the punishment of hell. What are we going to do for the people
who are going towards hell without knowing Christ?Let us live according to the Bibleand proclaim the lifegiving Scriptures. Shall we do the noble ministry of reviving the souls of youths who are trapped in worldly illusions and losing their lives, so that many youths will be saved from the ocean of fire?
In the month of September,the Tiruvallur Region Youth Planning Meeting was conducted. I
praise God that they have decided to form 88 prayer groups in order to pray for the 88 districts, this Region is sponsoring in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. In the same manner, in order to pray for the districts that each Reign is sponsoring, let us start a prayer group for each district.
It has been 50 years since our Organization started the Youth Wing, we have planned to
celebrate this year as the Golden Jubilee year and organize a three days Youth Camp in 2023, during Pongal Holidays i.e, from January 14th to 16th. I invite the youths to rise up and join hands with us to go and spread the Gospel throughout our Nation. Let Christ be glorified, and let your life be blessed through Christ.
In the great work of Christ,
Rev. J. Daniel Arulmani

Dear Kerith Readers,
Gospelize is derived from the traditional English word Gospel. It means Good News or Happy News. Evangelion is a Greek word which also means Good News. The real Good News is the joy of experiencing the deliverance and the freedom from sins, for everyone who believe in Christ. How joyous it is indeed!!!
In 1732, Zinzendorf from Germany, went to the islands in Africa and saw the distressed life of the slaves. He gave an open invitation for missionaries to serve in these islands. Johann Leonhard Dober and David Nitschmann were the two young men who committed themselves to spread the Gospel in the West Indies Islands. When the ship started from the harbor, the two young chaps saw the faces of their loved ones for the last time and said, "Let the slayed goat get the reward for the sufferings". Gospel makes beautiful people. Our missionaries in our fields are spreading the Gospel, which turns lakhs of people to accept and worship Christ wholeheartedly. Yet, there are lakhs and lakshs of unreached villages in India. As we are celebrating our 76th Independence Day, we aren't an Army instead an Audience in preaching the Gospel to the people in bondage. "Will I get a breakthrough from this bondage?" is the desire of most of the people. Let us commit ourselves for their deliverance by preaching the Gospel to these people. God can bless this world only through the Good News of
Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 9:16 “For when I preach the Gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the Gospel! Read the Kerith prayerfully and remember to use in your prayer groups. Do share the Kerith book with your friends.
