Koinonia John the Baptist in India

Training program for members of Koinonia John the Baptist in India (January-March 2014) was exciting, though not without challenges to overcome. Our Koinonia in South and North India is developing and growing for the Lord’s glory and our joy. We did the training for a deeper community integration, then Welcome course, Coordinators, House of Prayer, besides training meetings for families and for consecratedIMG_0831 brothers and sisters, we leaded some meetings of: Agapito, Koinonia, we were also invited to give testimony in a Catholic TV channel. There is a lot of work, but the workers are good, then the future lies ahead for a good harvest. See the photos! Now even video!

The joy of the Gospel

DSCN4244The risen Christ sent his followers to preach the Gospel in every time and place, so that faith in him might spread to every corner of the earth – until the Aussi Land, we bring our testimony of personal meeting with Jesus, who changed our lifes, as Pope Francis said in Apostolic Exhortation Evangelli Gaudium 19.

In our day Jesus’ command to “go and make disciples” echoes in the changing scenarios and ever new challenges to the Church’s mission of evangelization, and all of us are called to take part in this new missionary “going forth”… all of us are asked to obey his call to go forth from our own comfort zone in order to reach all the “peripheries” in need of the light of the Gospel (EG 20).

 

Meeting “Houses” for missions

OpocnoOn 16th March 2013, the brothers and sisters of Opočno (Czech Republic) welcomed us warmly to the meeting of the “Houses” – Friends of the School of evangelization. Together we gave thanks to the Lord for the mission entrusted to our community and school. We presented photos of the last mission of Opocno2evangelization in India (January-February 2013), sharing the experience of mission and customs in India. During lunch, the brothers and sisters testified to how the Lord is blessing their families and work through the project of the houses for missions (a project of both prayer and financial support). The Risen Lord Jesus confirmed us in this mission pouring in all of us the joy, encouragement and zeal to work for him!

Formation of witnesses – India 2013

Krishagar 2013Have a look at the video of the program held in India from 23rd January to 18th February 2013. We conducted five courses in Salem (South India), in the school of evangelization (ISONE) of Fr. Panneer Selvaraj.  In Calcutta we held 4 courses, organized by the regional secretary for the proclamation, Fr. Subhash Baroi.  The participants were made up of pastoral animators in the region of West Bengal, some religious, priests and a group of Salemyoung people from Prerona Bible School. This experience has been a very fruitful collaboration with the two Indians realities, and was also a highly spiritual experience. We experienced the continued presence of the Lord in the courses, and the participants felt a new love for the Word of God,  and a renewed zeal for evangelization. You can see the photos!
