While Duke Jeyaraj addressed the young men in the youth retreat that was held in the Secunderabad's Centenary Baptist Church, Evan Duke addressed the ladies. The topic given was The Complete Man/The Complete Woman. We touched up topics of sexual purity, involvement in church, serving Jesus throughout one's life. Rev. Charles' interpretation of Duke's messages into Telugu was a huge hit. The altar call scenes - we praise God for them. Our kids - Dale and Datasha - joined us. Dale took care the media work and Datasha sold our books. The Youth President was talking about having one more meeting with Evan Duke. Here are some pictures:
Young Man kneels at the altar following Duke's message. The girls are all ears as Evan speaks.
The Videos of Duke's message were uploaded in full and also split into interesting clips and those clips were uploaded:

Duke used a popular Fastrack ad to get the youth interested in what the Bible taught about premarital sex:
Masturbation Sex and In-Marriage Sex - the Big Difference / Duke Jeyaraj. Please watch the last few minutes to witness the altar call where the youth sign chastity pledges and pray the sinner's prayer.


Duke went the same evening (Aug 15) to minister in the Rock Church of the Manna Ministries in their youth/bilingual service. Rev. Deevan and Rev. Vijaya, the pastor couple in charge warmly welcomed Duke. The entire sanctuary was full. Duke preached a message of liberation from Ezekiel 23. There were tears in the altar. The youth just crammed the altar. The pastor said, "This is the best youth message I have heard here." Duke was encouraged. We kiss Jesus' feet. And we keep going for we have miles to go before we sleep as the poem says. Here are some pictures:
The Message from Ezekiel 23 is a message that Duke seeks to preach in every possible language format - here is the English Telugu format. Forward to the end of this video to see the unforgettable altar call
With Homosexuality being made legal in India, Duke got into the debate about why it is a sin. He was surprised to encounter so called believers who were arguing it is not sin. Here is a Facebook post of Duke that was widely appreciated:

'SO, HOMOSEXUALITY IS WRONG...BUT I HAVE QUESTIONS' - DUKE JEYARAJ ANSWERS A YOUNG MAN WHO BELIEVES ONLY HOMOSEXUAL RAPE IS WRONG WHILE MARRIED HOMOSEXUAL SEX IS RIGHT

A young man who is obviously believes you can be a homosexual and a believer at the same time has been messaging me. I am praying for him. He tries to say all of Bible's condemnations against homosexuality has to do with homosexual rape. He alleges that is what happened in Sodom and Gomorrah. His point: "Homosexuality in Sodom and Gomorrah was not wrong. The homosexual rape was wrong." So if two people are willing to engage in homosexual sex post a marriage in a church, that is fine - he argues. How do we respond to this?

I will respond with a quotation of Leviticus 18:22. That verse goes this: 'You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination' (NJKV). Homosexuality between two willing people is not awesome, but an abomination!

You just have to read Leviticus 18:22 (remember this reference!) which goes this way - - to understand that even homosexual sexual relationship between WILLING PEOPLE is an affront against God's holiness standards for us. This is plain as day.

In fact, this is so even in the case of male-female WILLING sex outside of marriage as well. The Pink-Movie Generation wants to believe only rape is sin! But this is not the case! Let me show you how:

Mrs. Potiphar was willing to have sex with Joseph. Joseph could have also chosen to have sex with her. What was God's view upon sex between two willing people outside the bonds of marriage? How did Joseph understand it? it was a "great sin" (Gen. 39:10). No debates here. You have to be stone-blind not to notice it. You have to be stubborn in sin not to see this.

Some spineless, Scripture-raping homosexuality supporters will want to tell me that Leviticus 18:22 is from the Old Testament and we are no longer bound to Old Testament law. Give me a minute and I will respond to that too.

'Do not commit adultery' is part of the 10 commandments found in Exodus 20. As believers who have been saved by grace, out of gratefulness to God, enabled by the Holy Spirit, we need to follow the moral laws of the Old Testament like "Do not commit adultery." We follow the moral laws of the Old Testament not to get saved, but because we are saved, we follow it out of gratitude to the Lord Jesus who died for us. I elaborate this in one full chapter in my book, Straight Talk. How do I know that moral laws of the Old Testament need to be followed even today? Here is why: The same moral laws are repeated in the New Testament while ceremonial laws are not repeated. While Moses put the moral law as "Do not commit adultery" in the Old Testament, the writer to the Hebrews in the New Testament told believers inspired by the Holy Spirit in Hebrews 13:4 this: "Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral". Both are saying the same thing (do not commit adultery) using different words.
So when Leviticus 18:22 tells us ultra clearly that even homosexual relationships between willing people is a sin in the Old Testament, that is a moral law we must obey even in the New Testament. Paul, a great Old Testament Scholar read that law, instinctively knows it must be followed as it is a moral law and so he repeats it in Romans 1:26 in his own way and style so that the believers of the church in Rome will not copy the Caesar in Rome who was a homosexual. He repeats in I Tim. 1:9-11 where he teaches that homosexuals are among those who are 'averse to Sound Teaching of the Glorious Gospel of the Blessed God' (so, those who say believers can be homosexuals are twisting the Gospel). Paul also repeats Leviticus 18:22 in a way in I Cor 6:9 where he says homosexuals (who do not repent) will go to hell.

So, let us stop twisting Scripture to say homosexuality is not sin! Let us repent before it is too late.

We had a Fountain of Tears against Mountain of Fears Fasting Prayer on 25 August (Saturday). We prayed for the nations and national needs (Assam refugees). We prayed for Google Generation issues (the ne. Duke preached on Anger Management using acronym A-N-G-E-R from the imprecatory(curse) Psalms. We had four new people joining for the prayer. We prayed for the needs of those who came. We cut birthday cakes for two of our volunteers in different areas of work - Sunny Karumanchi (Video) and Arul Johnson (Tracts Outreach) at the end of the prayer.
We had a blessed Sound Doctrine That Pumps Spiritual Adrenaline Bible Study on the Doctrine of the Church which Duke Jeyaraj led in the home of the Daniel and Magdalene on 19 Aug 2018. People from different walks of life and churches attended. Arpan, David and Shailesh combined to make music and lead in worship. Duke used the acronym C-H-U-R-C-H to outline the doctrine of the Church. Here is a picture and some videos:
Here is the portion of the Bible Study where Duke answered the question, Can Women preach in church by interpreting the relevant Pauline passages by talking about eye-gate and ear-gate!!!!
Duke, apart from writing for The Days of Your Youth, writes for other magazines. He writes of Aim magazine, Light of Life and Better Future. Recently Better Future published his article on What Grace Goes Along With (a study from the book of Acts).
Finally, the e-book work of Duke's new book, Straight Talk, was finished. Duke did it through a Amazon recommended company in Chennai. The e-book is now available in both Amazon.in and Amazon.com (which means even those in America can read this book via Kindle). Features like making the font bigger, click the chapter in the index and jump straight to the chapter are there in this ebook.

The print version of this book traveled to Nagpur, Mumbai, Hyderabad, etc. "Brother I got the courier with your book, Straight Talk. Thank you so much. Already loving the words put in a blunt way. It's black and white. Answering questions which I have been asking since long. It is as if you took questions out of my mind and answered them!" - this was one testimony sent to us by a college professor, a young woman, living in an Indian city, who ordered Straight Talk our book via Bank Transfer.
Duke worked with Transworld Radio, New Delhi, to translate his hit-devotional plan with Youversion Bible app, Porn Temptation Beaten, into five Indian languages: Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Hindi and Malayalam. Several volunteers who spoke one of these languages helped to make these translations better. God bless these unsung heroes. These plans will be soon up on the Youversion Bible app.
Duke is working on the text of Issue 38 of the magazine, The Days of Your Youth. This work should get done in September 2018.

We are looking for a wirefree audio enhancer to professional sound in the Sony full HD handycam we already have. The present wired one we have restricts Duke's movement as he preaches and is of very basic quality (Ahuja). This Sennheiser item called Sennheiser Portable Wireless Microphone System (ew 100 ENG G4-G) found in Amazon usa would suit our need: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CBWS66J/ref=psdc_8882491011_t1_B07BRM3353

We had a tracts outreach to a college called St Peters Engineering College in Hyderabad's Outskirts. Arul and Sherry joined Duke. Angelina Benedict, a student of this college, took some tracts (the Bubbly/Dhoni ones) and gave them inside the campus. We gave out about 600 tracts. One of the most successful tract distributions ever!!! Duke used anecdotes from the Kerala Flood and Karunanidhi's life to bring lessons on evangelism in a street side devotion before this event. The video follows picture.
