A big thank you to JYUK National teams 2013-15

[Ann-Christy John]

Dear Family,

I would like to take this opportunity to say a few words of thanks to our outgoing teams, on behalf of the youth ministry.

Joby Thomas, Maziano and the rest of the National Council - thankyou for leading the movement in the UK for the past two years. Joby chetta, I especially want to thank you for taking the time out of your many responsibilities and hectic schedules to follow up with many of us individually and also to Ani chechy, without whose support, I am sure it would not have been possible for you to do so.  Also, a big thankyou to the rest of the National council - Maziano, Joby Michael, Joseph Anthraper, Jinu Mathew, Ajith John, Anju Ann Abraham & Ex-Officios Lijo Jose, Bejay, Abhy Thomas and Fraju Sebastian - for all your support and prayers for the youth ministry, as well as your hardwork and dedication. Special thanks also to Shinto chettan, Sr. Ancilla and Fr. David Cain for being our animators, Fr. Binu - our spiritual director, for your guidance for each one of us individually as well as for all the teams and the Jesus Youth movement in the UK.

Our dear family team - Lijo chetta & Beena chechy and Jomy & Bini - thankyou for all your hard work, especially for bringing the youth and families closer together in the past couple of years. Thank you also to the rest of the family team - Ashok chettan & Dhanya chechy, Vivish chettan & Reema chechy, Sunil chettan & Jayamma chechy and ex-officios Justin chettan&Silvy chechy. All of the families in the movement are a real inspiration to all of us youth on how to lead a good Catholic family life. May God continue to shower his blessings upon all of you.

I would also like to say a massive thankyou to Denzil, Jenny, Joyce, Divya, Arun, and Rinto for every effort you have taken as Youth Team members in building up the youth ministry in UK over the past two years. And ofcourse, Bejay - the amount of dedication and positive energy you have is amazing. It is because of your personal interaction with many of us in the youth ministry that we are still strong in the movement. Dr. Navin and Maria chechy - your wisdom, prayers and support have sustained each one of us in the youth team; thank you for being such wonderful animators. Each one of you in the team have inspired me personally in my faith journey and I am sure that by God's grace, you will continue to serve as inspiration to those around you. 

Thankyou to each one of you in the JYUK family and I do apologise if I have missed anyone out. I request all of your continued prayers for the new teams, that we maybe open to the voice of the Holy Spirit as he leads us in the next three years. 

With all the love & prayers,

Ann-Christy John
