Hello all, That was the first time, I had to introduce myself saying my name followed by the email ID. It was great to see all whom we knew only by email.
When we realized the hard work of many for the successful going of joynet we felt proud of being a member of this group and the need to do more for the effective going of this group. Some were surprised (especially the bachelors!!!!!) to hear the good things coming up in the joynet in the near future. Let us pray for all who are working behind the net for these projects. There was an important question that came up - is it enough that we should keep these good things and joys within our self-in the joynet-or should we not go out to others to spread the good news / evangelize. One of the answers to that was that we should try to invite more youths into this group. There was yet another suggestion that we should go out to the teens and help them start a good network like joynet and some of the elders should be there as moderators. The answer to this question is still open and hopefully some more suggestions will come in the future. Abraham (Josh Folks) is the key person for UAE joynetters and for anything in the UAE, please contact him.
