[JOYnet] Found a partner!

2003-02-09 Thread Godwin Manuel\(IST\)
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus,

Let me take this opportunity to inform you that by the Grace of God
Almighty, on last Sunday the 2nd of February, I got married to Vidya.
Infact, I asked to some of my friends in JY to pray for this special
intention as i had only 35 days vacation. To tell you the truth, I felt the
presence of our Lord in each and every step i took in this regard and He
helped me to take decisions that perfectly executed His will. 

I also thank all of you in a very special way for your intercessions
especially Dr. Jomon, Jesus Youths of Fujairah - Abraham, Shaji, Biju, Benny
and the whole lot. Again, I request you to continue interceding for us for a
happy married life in Jesus.

Praise the Lord!

Godwin
Fujairah

[JOYnet] TODAY`S SAINT!!!!!!!!!!!!

2003-02-09 Thread rose maria
February 9, 2003 
St. Miguel  Febres  Cordero 
Confessor...(1854 -1910)  Life: 
   Francisco   was  the  baptismal  name  of  our  saint  who  was  born  on  November 
7, 1854 at  Cuenca,Ecuador. Born with a  painful  handicap  of  his  feet , he was 
unable to stand until age five when he received a vision of Our Lady. At age eight he 
was miraculously protected from being mauled by a wild bull. In 1863, at age nine, he 
enrolled in a school run by the Christian Brothers, which Order had only recently come 
to Ecuador. Joined the Brothers at age 15. In  fact  he  was  the  first  latin  
American  brother  to  make  perpetual  vows  in  the  congregation.

School teacher at El Cebollar School, Quito, a position he held for 32 years. A 
gentle, dedicated, and enthusiastic teacher. Wrote his own textbooks,  some were 
adopted by the government, and used throughout the country. Wrote odes, hymns, 
discourses on teaching methods, plays, inspirational works, and retreat manuals. 
Elected to the Ecuadoran Academy of Letters in 1892, followed soon after by the 
Academies of Spain, France, and Venezuela. Conducted religious retreats, and prepared 
children for their First Communion. While  in  spain, during  the  anticlerical  
revolution,  Brother  Miguel  saved  the  Sacred  hosts  from  profanation  which  
meant  walking  8  miles  with  poor  feet.Novice director for his house from 1901 to 
1904. 

Sent to Europe in 1905 to translate texts from French to Spanish for use by the Order; 
worked primarily in Belgium. 
he died on  9 February 1910 of pneumonina at Premia del Mar, Spain, and buried 
there; grave disturbed during the Spanish Civil War, and his body found incorrupt; 
re-buried in Quito, Ecuador, his tomb has become a pilgrimage site 
   . In addition to being a religious role model, Miguel is considered a national hero 
in Ecuador for his success in so many worthwhile areas. 
   He  was  canonized  by  Pope  John  Paul II  on  October  21,  1984. 
COMMENT: 
 People  await  to  find  situations,  areas  for   doing  
something  for  God  to  be  used  by  Him  as  an  instrument. Our  lives  on  this  
earth  will  become  a  successful   fruitful  only  when  we  accomplish  the  will  
of  ourCreator  in   each  of  our  acts.Once  our  saint  expressed  *I  give  
myself  completelyto  Jesus  so  that  He  can  just   use  me  as  He  wishes.I  
want  every  word I  write,  everything  I  read ,  everything  I  do  at  my  desk  
and  all  my  work  in  school  to  be  done  for  the  glory  of  God.* 
   REFLECTION:
   The heart is rich when it is content, and it is always content when its desires are 
fixed on God. 

-Saint Miguel

2003-02-09 Thread Bincy Abraham
Hi Friends,

which I must say was really good!!! i hope we all have at least one thing we 
are thankful for or something to share on this matter  i am looking 
forward to hearing more emails on this wonderful topic

i have something to share but i need some time to write it down and i will 
do so by the end of this week (life has been crazy for me last week and this 
coming week with presentations and patients) Hope to hear from others on 
this topic in the mean time

Hope all is well with all JY around the world by the grace of GOD!!! Please 
keep Sindhu in your prayers who is fighting a terrible cold (I think ROSE 
AND SUNIL are also sick with cold)
Also i want to encourage others to continue or start sharing more about 
their personal experiences of Jesus in everyday life and everyday 
situations!!! I really enjoy reading these sharings and they have been so 
encouraging and inspiring to my life!!! Thanks!!!

[JOYnet] Separate mailing list

2003-02-09 Thread Anil Thomas
Hi Mathew,

I do agree with the suggestions in Mathew's mail. 
It is better to have a separate website or mailing list for finding life
partners as those mails are of little use to others. We can provide a link
in our site and/or a footnote in our mails. Those who are interested may
subscribe to them as they see fit. As for me, I do not mind receiving job
postings in my Joynet mails; rather I welcome it. 

I am willing to provide joynet with any technical assistance required for
setting up a separate mailing list or website.

Your friend in Christ,
Thomas

Subject: [JOYnet] About Job mails


Hello all,

Nice to see many people coming up with your opinion about posting Job mails
in JOYnet.  Thanks to all of you for your valuable suggestions.

Before I come to the topic, I would like to share some history of JOYnet.
This JOYnet family is now more than four years old.From the beginning of
this group, the number of members has increased gradually.   Many new people
joined and many people who were members left this group...During this
four
years
I got the opportunity to interact with many of these JOYnetters personally
and
thru
e-mail.   Almost all of these people have high regards for this fellowship
and
they
all agreed that JOYnet has helped them a lot.   But most of them had one
common
complaint about JOYnet.   The number of mails is high.   They find it
difficult
to handle too many mails.Many people told me that they un-subscribed
from
JOYnet because of too many mails.   Many of them has limited internet access
and they don't access mails daily.   Many people access mails from a cafe..
Do we need to understand their difficulties?  We need to think about it.

Whenever a new person joins JOYnet, I get a notification mail.   I have
noticed that
on an average, 5-6 people joins JOYnet daily.   But at the same time many
people
leaves the group.   Many times I got the feedback that the number of mails
is
a reason for their un-subscribing.
Do we need to understand the feelings of these people?  We need to think
about
it.

This is the main reason (after some discussion in the past)
 we thought of having three different mailing lists.
We have a separate mailing list called Prayer Net,  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
for sending our
personal prayer requests.All the prayer requests received in this group
is consolidated and sent to JOYnet once in a week.  So, all the JOYnet
members
can pray for these 'prayer requests' and at the same time the number of
mails is reduced since we get a single mail containing all prayer requests,
instead of about 20 individual prayer request mails in a week.!!!

Similarly,  we have Parable Net [EMAIL PROTECTED]  for sending more
bible study materials, reflections etc.   Those who can afford to receive
more
mails can join this group and benefit more.   This way, again, the number of
mails coming to JOYnet is reduced.   At the same time people who have more
internet access can get more mails thru parable net and make use of it !!!

Similarly, one of the main needs of our youth is finding life partners.
Bijoy is working on a web site to take care of this need of assisting our
youth
to find their life partners.   Please pray for him and for this project.
Some time back we used to receive some mails asking for help to find
life partners.Once this web site is done, I am sure this need also will
be
taken care of.   Also, the number of mails coming to JOYnet
with regard to this need also will be reduced...

In JOYnet, so far, we were having mails related to evangelisation, personal
sharings
of God experiences, JY news, good inspiring stories, discussions on bible
topics etc.
In short, mails which helps to build the members in Jesus and which helps to
build
the community and which helps in global evangelisation...
Sharings about Jesus Youth happenings around the world is one of the main
items here.

Now, finding jobs for our youth is a very important need.  I strongly
support
the
point that we need to help our youngsters to find good jobs.   Infact it
should be
one of our priorities too...   Now, the best and feasible  option is to have
a
separate
mailing list or news group for this purpose.   Once we have a dedicated
mailing list
for posting job openings, all of us can post those openings as and when it
comes
Those who are looking for a job can join this mailing list...
Dear Pradeep, Stanley, Shaji, Shelton and Jinson..  why don't you start a
new
mailing list
or a news group in yahoo groups for Jobs mails.   Another option is to start
a
dedicated web site only for Job opportunites ...  Manoj Jons has suggested
that
we can give a link to this new site from the main Jesus Youth web site.
We have many people in JOYnet who are working with leading companies
in India and abroad.  We can post the job openings as and when it comes.

So, friends, please take the

Do Not Worry

And Can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life? If
then you are not able to do so small a thing as hat, why do you worry about
the rest ?
