Jesu Apoitha - One Day Konkani program

"JESU APOITA", a one day konkani program was organised by the Jesus Youth of Mangalore for all the youth of Mangalore diocese. It was held at Milagres School Hall,Mangalore on the 20th June, 2010 from morning 8.30am- 5.30pm. Around 240 youth attended the program.

Mrs.Merlin Menezes, Mr.Anil D'Souza and Fr Franklin D'Souza were the main resources for the program.

Ms. Crystal, Mr. Paul (Mysore), Mr. Baptist and Ms. Bernadette shared their life testimonies how Jesus has brought a diffference in their life. The music ministry really kept the participants tapping their feet.

In preparation of this program, the Jesus Youth had round the clock intercession for 2 weeks for 24hrs, which they believe was the backbone of the success of the program. As the participants left the hall in the evening, they were really filled with the joy of the Lord. Neha Jasmine Rodrigues (participant- 2nd PU, St.Aloysius) said "Jesus Youth seriously instilled in me the willingness to go forward to preach or give testimony of Jesus. My faith has surely strengthened. I enjoyed the whole day. Thanks to the Jesus Youth who organised such a program where all youth can come together and speak out their faith. Hope to have such more programs. Thank you Jesus Youth" .

The day was indeed more memorable as Pope Benedict today inaugarated this year was the Year for the Youth.
