On behalf of the 26th Pentecostal Conference of North American Keralites, I personally would like to welcome you to join us in Atlanta, Georgia during the dates of July 3rd-6th, 2008.

It is my honor and privilege to serve as the Local Youth Coordinator for the conference.

From an early age, God has provided me several opportunities to interact and communicate with young people at the both local church level as well as in larger youth-orientated organizations. Being born and raised in New Jersey, I was able to work with numerous young people by being an active participant in my home church ministries as well as the New Jersey and New York PYFA organizations. In 2004, when I relocated to Atlanta, I served as the 2006 Georgia Youth Fellowship Secretary which developed, among other skills, my organizational and event coordination skill. Also, I had the opportunity of serving at a National level in the past PCNAK conference in Orlando, Florida as a Georgia State Representative. Along the years, I have been graced with a God-given passion and desire to serve this generation by working to facilitate their spiritual and social growth. In my personal Christian walk, I feel that as I draw closer to God, He uses me to draw others closer to Him. I feel immensely blessed to be used in this manner for the expansion of His kingdom.

This year, I am fortunate enough to have an excellent team working alongside me as well as the invaluable resource of leadership experience from our National Youth Coordinator, Mathew Thomas (Binu). Along with a passion for the youth, Binu and I share the same vision: we desire that every individual, who comes to the conference, regardless of which event he or she attends, encounters a spiritual atmosphere and is forever changed.

In addition, we hope to introduce exciting new innovations that will develop PCNAK from a four-day event to a 365 day program. Our newly designed website, designed by Johns Puriyadam, is the main tool we are utilizing to make this purpose possible. It includes options for advertisements, sports features, monthly introductions of bands, matrimonials, and, of course, the discussion board. Currently, our website reaches thousands of people throughout the United States, as well as Canada, India, and Europe. We encourage you to come visit our site regularly for new updates, and pass the link to others. Also, we have links that allow you to email us directly with any questions, concerns, comments, or suggestions. If you would like to be notified of new updates or events throughout the year, please join our mailing list. Just click on the Communications tab to send your information.

Our prayer is to touch your life through the leadership roles that we hold, leaning on the grace that is mentioned in Romans 15:6 that “the God who gives endurance and encouragement [will] give [us] a spirit of unity among [ourselves] as [we] follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth [we] may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,” Indeed, God has a special purpose for us as a community. All He requires are open hearts and willing spirits. He will go before us and make our paths straight. If we will lift Him up, He will answer our earnest prayer--to draw us all to Him.

Please plan ahead to join us in Atlanta, Georgia with your family and friends. Get ready for a conference like no other. Welcome to PCNAK 2008.

Sincerely,
