Teens Ministry Bangalore - a Report.
The Teens ministry of Bangalore is supported by a team of twelve which includes our Pastor Fr. Satish, Elder Julie Thomas and the team members Feena, Diana, Manoj, Jithin, Shibu, Thomas, Sminu, Charles, Pradeep and Abhy. The new team after the reconstitution spent a lot of time in team building and prayer, for the team and for the new initiatives. The ministry activities began with the Teens intercession day which involved an entire day of intercession before the Blessed Sacrament along with special Mass and adoration for the Teens and also for their parents, offering their various intensions like exams, relationship with parents, spiritual growth, e.t.c.
There were nine programs conducted in Bangalore and two outside Bangalore as an initiative of the Bangalore teenâs ministry. It included programs in three parishes, one in an orphanage, another one for the children in the near by villages of Bannerghata, four programs for Schools in Bangalore, one program in a school in Goodaloor and one program in Trichy. Along with these programs we also organized two, three day residential Retreat cum formation programs for the children in the age group of 5th to 9th std and one for the children who finished their 10th std. The program for the 10th std students was mainly intended to give them an introduction on âhow to continue to be witnesses of Christ in Colleges" and also to introduce them to the Campus ministry initiatives in Bangalore.
As an outcome of all these programs we have prayer meetings at St. Charles H.S, St. Thomas Town on all working days, Mariam Nilayam School, Banasvadi on Saturdays and Holy Family Parish, Beggur on Sundays. We intend to start Prayer meetings at St.Thome parish, Bannerghata and Cluny Convent School, Maleshwaram at the earliest.
We have a few strong Teen leaders like, Priyanka, Dominc and Thames who are excellent witnesses to the Lord in their studies and through their personal life. Our main focus in the coming days is to build such Teen leaders and have them actively to do things for the growth of the ministry. We have been co-opting few members into the team as guided by the spirit. We also are dreaming to have a âTeenâs Meetâ and a leadership training program for the teens in the coming months as a stepping stone for the fast spreading of the Kingdom of God in Bangalore.
Love & Prayers,
