I am very happy to inform you that the meeting with the Mangavaram congregation was a sucessful venture. We had little bit of a problem with the second day meeting, there was a power cut the class began around 8:30p.m. the classes extended till midnight i reached home very late. The 3rd day meeting saw many turning points people stopped me in the middle and asked many doubts,I clarified their doubts then and there. On my way back home the vichel that i hired got punchered i had to walk 4 miles in the midnight before i could find any means of transport and i reached home only around 3:45 on the next day morning.
On the 4th day after the class was over i requested few people from the crowd to share opinion about the class. Four brethren came forward to share their opinion. One among the brother told that " I did not attened the first day class, so i enquired about the class to a fellow brethren, his son who studying 5th grade was able to explain everything that was taught in the class and various visual aids by sketching them on sand, it infers that the was so easy to understand and important to be remembered. It made me very curious because of which i did not miss the next 3 day's classes.
Another brother Bro.Vinod who is a M.Phil student gave the testimony that " I am one among the few in the congregation who does not know how to use the musical instrument, I have cried to the Lord in my prayers many time to bless me with ability to praise him with the musical instrument, but today my eyes were opened and I understand that usage of instrument in worship is against the scriptures."
For all the suffering that i went through and all the help that you done to me, these words gave me the satisfaction that God used me for the glory of his name and his kingdom, our effort have not gone in vain. The congregation has requested me come to their place atleast twice in a month to teach them the proper new-testament doctrine.
Bro.R.Philip Baskar who has converted from the liberal to conservative new-testament pattern was also very much helpful for me in this effort he came along with me and took classes to the congregation members at Mangavaram. Continue your prayers for the minstry in India. We are praying for you and the congregation.

CLASSES FOR DENOMINATIONAL PREACHERS
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I am glad to see you all through this blog. Happy to inform you that I am conducting classes for denominational preachers monthly once on NT doctrine. Preachers are eagerly listening to the doctrine and have started accepting the truth and word of God. The main reason of reaching the preacher is through them the whole congregation would accept NT doctrine.
In the month of January we have conducted classes for the preachers and now 3 congregations have accepted the NT doctrine.
Please keep in prayers.
yours in His Service
E.k. Nathaniel

About youth camp
Greetings to you in the name of our Lord savior Jesus Christ. I am very happy to inform you that the youth camp was a great success.
The youth camp was conducted as planned on the 26th of December. The day was divided into four session, first was a singing session in which youths were asked to come in groups and singing songs for the gathering many, these youths were trained in songs by me, I wrote 4 songs on the topic that “ the necessity is laid upon me...” and a song for the new year, the youth came forward with a lot of enthusiasm and participated in the training and the sang the songs on the day of the youth camp.
After the singing was over we had the second session in which we had 2 sermon each of 45 minutes duration, I preached the lesson that you sent me,after the sermon session the gathering was divided into two groups Girls and Boys
In the third session these two groups were sent to two different places the youth girls were taken care by Sis.Amutha Nathaniel , the boys section was overseen by me . These groups were further divided into five subgroups they were given five topics FAMILY, SOCIETY, PROFESSION, FRIENDS and LACUNA IN BIBLICAL KNOWLEDGE how these factors affect their involvement in ministry. The groups were given charts asking them write the points they come up with all the various reasons stating how these factors affect their involvement in the ministry. These points were later elaborated by a representative from each group , after which the overseers in each group helped the gathering find solution for each problem from the scriptures.
At the end of the third session we dispersed for a 45 minutes for lunch, the gathering was provided with a good food. After the lunch we gathered for the last session of the day the games session in the fourth session all the people were gathered in the same place and we had games with moral and lessons that explained how the people whether boy or girl should come out of their zone of comfort to serve the Lord. At the end of the game session feed backs was taken from the gathering asking few participants to convey their opinion about the camp.
We concluded the camp by giving a target to each of the participants for a time span of 3 months asking them to determine the number of people they will preach the gospel and bring into Christ within the next 3 months, the meeting was finished with a thanks giving prayer
