Dear friends, Some years ago,there happened to be an "active" Jesus Youth in Trivandrum.Though busy with his job,he found time to visit 2-3 prayer groups a day in different colleges and motivate the members.Seeing what his son was doing,the JY's father offered him a better job. The father offered to grant him a bigger salary if he left his present job and work full-time for the Lord and His Kingdom for the coming year. The son took up the offer.And this led to the beginning of full-timers in Kerala!! It was Santhoshettan(Santhosh Joseph- presently working at bangalore) who was instrumental in starting the first full-timers training.Most of us in Kerala know A.T.Joseph uncle,his father. A.T.Joseph uncle presently is the Co-ordinator of Elders service Team Pala zone.His zeal for God's Kingdom has been contagious as far as his family is concerned.Besides Santhoshettan,his brother Sanjay and sister Sangeetha became full-timers. I really have n't heard of any other "such" father.At the most,I have heard of fathers not minding what their children are doing when they set their minds on the Kingdom.But parents who "push" their children to build God's Kingdom - they are rare and precious.
