Nurses Meet - The Call 2010 - Report

Dear Family,
This is a very brief update / report on the Bangalore Nurses Meet –“THE CALL” that was organized at the DVK Auditorium, Christ University Campus, Bangalore, from 12th June 2010, 8:30 am to 13th June 2010,5:30 pm.

The Spirit of the Lord was in move all throughout the meet and we believe the participants got a better understanding of their life as a whole, of their profession - nursing and about “THE CALL” in their life. About 470 participants from 20 colleges attended the meet. The presence of priests, nuns, other religious, parents, JY Leaders, JY Elders, etcetera was a blessing during the meet. The full time presence of Fr.Tomy - animator of the Bangalore JY Nurses ministry, Fr James MCBS -animator of the Karnataka JY Nurses Ministry and other priests was of great support and help to the program team.

Efforts with regard to intercessions and prayers, the prominent reason behind the success of the program, had started about 60 days before the program. I take this opportunity to specially thank Shelu for coordinating the intercessions and all the members of the intercession team.

Food was not bought from outside, but cooked on premises and this points to the excellent effort and hard-work put by the Food Team of the program, headed by Mr Praful, Mr Liju (2009 Blore full timer), Dijil and all team members. They worked 24hours starting from Friday evening, without sleep or rest. I take this opportunity to specially thank all the members of the food team and pray to God to reward them abundantly.

The campus team and the attendees of the recent DTP program put in a great effort to support the various activities. I thank them and the Teens Ministry members for the efforts put in for the success of this meet.I thank the decoration team coordinated by Mr.Jomy from Kanjirapally and Lloyd of the campus ministry for their hard work.

A special thanks for Mr. Abishek (National coordinator),Mr.Joby (Previous Nurses National coordinator) and Mr.Renish for supporting us and helping us with their valuable suggestions and above all for their presence and prayers.

The Music Team did a marvelous work not only by leading the participants to wonderful moments of praise and worship, but also by writing, composing and tuning a fresh theme song, exclusively for the program, which was very relevant and meaningful with respect to the nursing profession.
