The Annual Report of G4 Mission (Duke Jeyaraj Ministry) for 2023
It was an year in which we had the joy of just being with the Google Generation, hearing them, praying with them! It was an year in which we preached God’s Word among the Google Generation with passion! Some summary pictures before we get to the specifics:
Grabbing the Google Generation from Gehenna Mission, the G4 Mission, founded in 2006, by Duke Jeyaraj and Evangelin Duke, kept moving forward by the grace of God in 2023.
The year started with Duke Jeyaraj preaching the New Year message in the Watchnight service that started on 31 December 2022 and spilled-over to 1 January 2023 in the Bethlehem Church, Kavali. Later that day, Duke preached in the 1 January morning service of this church as well. Watch the message here:
PREACHING REVIVING MESSAGE IN CHURCHES ACROSS INDIA
God opened more opportunities for Duke to do preach in different churches through the year.
Duke spoke in the Zion AG Church, Kamarajapuram, Chennai on a Sunday Morning during March 2023.
Duke spoke in the Abundant Life AG Church, Kumananchavadi, Chennai on two different Sundays this year.
Duke spoke in the Jesus With Us Church, Tondiarpet, Chennai on a Sunday morning this year.
Duke spoke in four different services of the Ark Victory Church, Sembakkam, Chennai on a Sunday morning in November this year.
Duke also preached in the Christ Soldiers Church, Yapral, Secunderabad on a Sunday Morning.
Duke also preached in Living Word Missionary Church, Anna Nagar, Chennai on the Easter Sunday.
Duke preached God’s Word in a local church in Gujarat as well – a well-received message on false teaching alert.
Each time, Duke spoke in a Sunday Morning service, he sought to bring about a mini-revival among the audiences through a passionate message. For example, in the Zion AG, Duke preached on Marks of a Backslidden Believer from the book of Malachi. The altar call time was powerful. Watch the message here:
EVAN DUKE’S SHORT TALK STIRS YOUTH
Evan Duke, meanwhile, was invited by Pas. Anjali Jay of the Ark Victory Church, Sembakkam, Chennai to give a brief address on Father’s Day Sunday in 2023. She also spoke to the teens and youth of this church as they had their sports evangelistic day. Watch her short message delivered there, here:
PREACHING AS A COUPLE IN A COUPLE OF YOUTH CAMPS
Later Evan Duke joined Duke as they both addressed the Young People of this church in a youth camp in Chennai’s outskirts. As Evan Duke started a salvation message from Psalm 139, Duke completed it and gave an altar call which witnessed a great response. Duke preached a frank message on what the Bible teaches on sex. Watch it here:
Here is another picture from the Ark Victory Church youth camp in which both Duke and Evan ministered – a camp that had a mix of international students, modern Chennai youth and traditional Chennai youth:
After this youth camp was done, the following Sunday, some parents met with Evan Duke and shared how the straight, no-beating-around-the-bush messages on sexual purity blessed their sons and daughters who attended the camp.
Evan and Duke were extended gracious invitations to pray several times in the monthly Night Prayers, special early morning week-long prayers, etc., of the Ark Victory Church, Sembakkam.
Meanwhile, Duke also preached from the life of Samson in a youth service of the same church on a Sunday morning. Watch the message here:
Duke had the joy of praying for the Ark Victory Church Team in the combined service of this 1200 strong church on the occasion of this church’s 19th anniversary. We praise God for Pas Jay and Pas Anjali, the pastors of this church. We as a family have been immensely blessed as we regularly attended the Sunday Morning services, early morning prayers, Friday night prayers, etc. in this church (in the weeks we are not travelling to minister elsewhere). We now live in a rented base walkable from this church. As you know, from the time of its inception, we at G4 Mission always seek to compliment the ministry of the local church.
Here is Pas Jay praying for our daughter on her 16th birthday:
MORE CHURCH YOUTH MEETINGS
Duke preached in the youth retreat of the Anna Nagar Methodist Church, Chennai during January 2023. Our ministry remains inter-denominational and inter-church.
YouTube star Pas Ben Samuel of Zion AG Church invited Duke and Evan to preach to the young people of his church in their youth camp during October 2023. Duke answered live questions of the youth post the messages. Evan Duke preached to the girls in this camp.Taboo topics were covered. Young people were blessed.
Pas Sugandhar and Pas Anusha organised a meeting and Duke preached to the youth of their church on a Saturday evening in Yapral, Secunderabad. Duke preached a memorable message on the life of John Mark. Watch that message here:
Duke also spoke from Joseph’s life to the youth of Jesus with Us Church, Tondiarpet after preaching in their two main services this year. Duke preached directly in Tamil in this meeting, something he has been doing oflate (previously he needed a Tamil interpreter).
A group of like-minded pastors invited Duke during May 2023 to preach to youth people from their churches in Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh. The program was called SOAR & ROAR. Dr. Angela Gummadi who part of Shiloh 2023 in which Duke was a speaker invited Duke for this event. Her dad, Pas John Prasad is the Senior Pastor of the Ark Victory Church in Rajahmundry. God blessed the intense time of study of God’s Word. The messages included the following:
The young people surrendered for Holy Living and witnessing after Duke gave the altar call. Here are some pics:
YOUTH CAMPS IN COIMBATORE AND IN GUJARAT
Bro. Selvin and Sis. Rona invited Duke to preach in the Young Fishers Team youth camp in Coimbatore. Duke preached messages in broken Tamil and the Lord moved mightily. The teary-eyed response to the altar call by folks from different backgrounds brought tears to our eyes.
The youth camp that Duke preached in a town in Gujarat for the Grace cluster of churches during August of this year drew many youth, including children of pastors, to the Lord during the altar calls he gave. Young people repeated the sinners prayer as Duke led in it, using the words of a famous Christian hymn. Pull the video to the end and watch the scene here and praise God with us:
The organisers of this camp, bought bulk copies of Duke’s book, Straight Talk on Sex, Love, Marriage,Porn, Phone Addiction and More, and gave it each of the registered campers! I am grateful to BroKen (he can be seen in this picture)!
PREACHING GOD’S WORD INSIDE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS FOLLOWING INVITATIONS
God used Duke inside the famous Madras Christian College this year following an inviation from Rev. Ross. He spoke in the chapel and also to students and faculty who gathered under the tree. Duke’s addresses kept the students spell-bound and they made life-changing decisions after his messages as he gave the altar call.
Here is one message he preached inside MCC under the tree:
Duke also addressed the senior school boys of the Madras Christian College Chetpet Chennai in the Scripture Union Camp site in Chennai. After the salvation message which Duke preached from the life of Absalom, many of these boys made a commitment to follow Jesus. Dale Duke was there to help his dad to video record the messages and help in the distribution of literature.
Duke spoke twice motivating students to prepare well for exams in the Daniel Thomas Schools of Chennai this year.
Duke also shared the goodnews even as he did that to an attentive audiences from various faiths. Here is the video:
BLESSING OTHER ORGANISATIONS
As mentioned, we G4 Mission are inter-organisational. That means we do not seek to make our own organisation bigger and bigger but work alongside other existing organisations building God’s Kingdom. Keeping this goal in mind, Duke accepted the invite of Life Focus Society to make an encouragement video which would be uploaded in their social media handles. Here is the link:
BLESSING PASTORS IN KOLKOTA IN INDIAN PENTECOSTAL ASSEMBLIES EAST INDIA CONFERENCE
God opened the doors for Duke Jeyaraj via Pas John Prakasam to preach to pastors this year. Duke spoke in the Indian Pentecostal Assembly East India pastors conference. His address on the Pastor and His Bible was life-changing even for those who listened to the recording of this message. Watch that message here:
Our ministry touched a Bengali boy this year. This year via our Kahoot Quiz we encouraged a Bengali boy – Sayan Maity. He won the first prize in one of our Kahoot quizzes.
WRITING FOR OTHER ORGANISATIONS
God used Duke to write several Bible-teaching articles that immensely blessed the people of God. Aim magazine of the Evangelical Fellowship of India published Duke’s articles through the year. By writing voluntarily for the magazine of Evangelical Fellowship of India, we underline that our ministry is inter-organisational. Kingdom of God, first! His article for the December 2023 issue talked about how we could share the Christmas Gospel wrapped around magic/heartbreak moments from the 2023 Cricket World Cup. This website hosts all these articles. A reader from Kanpur understood how to share the faith over normal conversation with travel neighbors via one of these articles (which is also a video) – he testified. Here is the video:
Duke wrote X-sized Devotions during the Lent season this year. He called these devotions Lent Scent:
WIDE VARIETY OF REGULAR ZOOM MEETINGS
Over Zoom, we regularly held several meetings throughout the year – at least three, sometimes four – on Wednesday nights each month. One was QTQT, Question Thirst Quenched Truthfully. Every month Duke answered live questions over Zoom.
YOUNG AND OLD HOOKED TO DEEP & LONG WORD OF GOD STUDY FOR CLOSE TO TWO HOURS – THANKS TO THE KAHOOT BIBLE QUIZZES OF G4 MISSION!
For example, we had Kahoot quizzes which were joined by folks – those in the pre-teens and those in post-retirement age – from India, Middle East, North America, Europe, etc. Watch the recording of one of the Kahoot Quizzes we had this year here:
Using the Kahoot quiz on Song of Songs lessons on sex, love, marriage, porn, purity, false teaching were taught (in the Valentine Day Month of 2023). Here it the recording:
Here is the recording of the Book of Amos Kahoot Quiz we had this year:
This is the recording of the Kahoot quiz we had this year on three one chapter Bible books – Obadiah, Philemon and Jude:
Here is the recording of the Book of Hebrews Kahoot which we held this year:
Here is the recording of the Gospel of John Kahoot quiz:
If you noticed above, these Kahoot quizzes are long – one quiz even crossed the two hour mark! But we find the 30+ players from India over stay and play and grasp the Bible Lessons that Duke serves between the questions! Perhaps the hours become minutes for these Bible-lovers as they play our Kahoot Bible Quiz! Here is a testimony from an Indian young woman, playing from Belgium, which she shared after one Kahoot:
After each such Kahoot Bible quiz (these were held once in five to eight weeks), five winners among adults and two winners among children (under 14) were recognised. A Christian Leader sponsors the gifts we give – Study Bibles, Stylish Bibles, Theological Works, Christian Classics, etc. eCertificates were issued as well.
Here is a picture of the gifts after one such kahoot quiz:
We also had the Fountain of Tears against Mountain of Fears fasting prayer where we prayed for the nations, the nation and the Google Generation (the Karan Johar-movies affected Google Generation, for example). Some Google Genners prayed their first public intercessory prayer, thanks to this meeting.
The monthly Zoom program, Question Thirst Quenched Truthfully, had even people joining anonymous, asking questions to receive frank, Biblical, frank answes. Here are two episodes:
We started a new Zoom program titled, Battle Plead 4 That 1 Bruised Reed. In this program we prayed for the personal needs of those who joined. Miracle testimonies were heard!
Our Month End Midnight prayer, we entered the Fresh Month in God’s sweet presence (sometimes with nearly 40 people joining). Duke preached a memorable but different promise message each time. Here is the recording of one such service:
DEEP & LONG BIBLE STUDY
Duke continued his third long deep Bible study series this year. It is called Chosen Chapter Chew Covering Contemporary Issue (C5I). He marries Bible exposition to Biblical ethics in this study. For example he exposited Deuteronomy chapter 22 with a focus on the thorny question, ‘Can a believer remarry when his/her first spouse is still alive?’. Here is the video:
The first two long Bible study series that Duke has completed:
- A summary study of all the sixty six books of the Bible using acronyms (this took seven years to complete)
- A summary study of twenty Bible doctrines using acronyms (this took nearly four years to complete)
These are available on YouTube.
NEW BOOK COMING UP
The work is on Duke’s new book, Hyper-Biblical, an antidote for modern hell-populating, false-teaching such as hyper grace, hyper-supernaturalism (no death teaching), hyper-love (hell is not forever, from hell you can come to heaven, teaching). Our ministry remains at the forefront in the unpopular work of fighting false teaching in obedience to Jude 3 contending for the faith delivered once for all to the saints. Here is one video we released to defend Sound Doctrine and expose false teaching:
Duke has written three books already. See details via this poster:
Here is an unedited testimony that we received from a young woman about our book, Straight Talk (she read it while she was in 3rd year of ‘clg’ – college):
COUNSELLING VIA WHATSAPP AUDIO, ANSWERING LIVE QUESTIONS AS A COUPLE
Counselling via Whatsapp Audio, Duke continued to do this year. “Can I continue this romance with this married man who says he is falling apart from his wife, as I now live alone with my husband having left me?” – this was one question Duke answered from an anonymous joiner in the Question Thirst Quenched Truthfully Zoom event this year. Also, Duke and Evan fielded live questions in the Ark Victory Church youth services this year, twice.
REGULAR TRACTS OUTREACH
We also did tracts outreach in various places – in Chennai and in Vellore notably (and gave tracts to a few in Pune, Mumbai). The newly printed and released by September 2023 Duke Jeyaraj Bubbly tracts – deftly designed by Eugene Pandian, edited by a volunteer team – were used. Scripture Gift Mission, Bangalore, generously partnered with us in the printing. Here is the front page of the New Bubbly tract, a tract which saw version one when Duke was a youth pastor in New Delhi in 2001:
We also reprinted our Dhoni tract, thanks again to them. On March 21st, both Duke and Evan gave out tracts outside the Loyola College. Duke and Dale gave out tracts outside the Madras Christian College. Tracts were given out outside the famous VIT university in Vellore. Tracts and Bibles were given to corporate employees in the Medavakkam-Shollinganallur road in Chennai as they walked into their offices. We gave tracts outside the Women’s Christian College, College Road, Chennai. After tracts oureach, Duke invariably did a short video (this video touched a doctor working in a famed Christian hospital that he had to forward it to some people):
THE DAYS OF YOUR YOUTH MAGAZINE
We released the Issue 42 of The Days of Your Youth Magazine this year. The lead article by Duke was on Climbing the Hill Called God’s Will. Eugene Pandian voluntarily designed the magazine. You can read this magazine where Bible Truth is wrapped around contemporary events, where sound doctrine is sounded and hell-populating false teaching is exposed, where true stories of tent-making efforts in Europe is told, here:
OUTREACH TO COMMERCIAL SEX WORKERS/EUNUCHS
Evan Duke and Datasha Duke led outreaches to Commercial Sex Workers/Eunuchs this year. Two individuals – one of Duke’s secular college friends and another person who was once a refugee in a foreign land – gave/give generously and we could put a smile on their faces with little gifts for them. We have now shared the Gospel with atleast 20 different of them ever since this ministry which Evan Duke began in 2022.
CHRISTMAS CHEER FOR THOSE FROM AFRICA FAR AWAY FROM THEIR HOMES
This Christmas, we had 7 brothers and sisters from the African Continent from the Ark Victory Church. Sembakkam, at our home/base on Christmas Day 2023. Duke led a Bible Study on the character of Prophetess Anna. Then we also had a Fellowship lunch, thanks to the giving of a dear family, we shall leave unnamed. Such joy!
We also special Christmas outreach among Commercial Sex Workers/Eunuch (twice), Hair Salon folks and Saree Selling girls. A host around us from various walks of life and faith were given our tracts and New Testament.
BLESSING COUPLES WITH PRACTICAL COUNSEL
In January first week, Duke prayed for God’s blessing upon a couple who had their wedding reception by the beach-side. He called the audience to be ready for the wedding feast of the Lamb via that prayer! Duke and Evan warmly invited for the wedding of his second daughter by Annan Jebaraj in Pune ( May 2023). They were given the humbling honor of speaking jointly in the wedding reception to the large crowd of August people. Here is a cell-phone shot video of their presentation that brought the elements of a Christian marriage put in various ‘MC’s:
SOCIAL MEDIA WORK
We used social media to broadcast the Gospel and also teach the Bible. We have Vikas Yadav to edit videos for us, working with us part-time. We have a presence in Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn and WhatsApp. We also run a Tamil Instagram page – Tamilspeaking Duke. Wrapping Bible truth around contemporary events, like Jesus did in Luke 13 and around contemporary sayings like Paul did in Acts 17 is one way we keep our audiences engaged. We have set up two websites with thought-provoking content from Duke Jeyaraj: www.dukejeyaraj.com and www.purposenmeaning.com
A Whatsapp group called, “Full Life of Jesus In Half Year” was created by Duke this year. The 188 different events in the life of Christ were studied from 1 July 2023. The spiritual temperature of those in this group increased!
SUPPLYING QUALITY LITERATURE
After reading Duke’s book, Daniel in Dell, two young people, one from Gurugram, and one from Hyderabad, wrote-in testimonies. A corporate fellowship ordered 500 copies of the Bubbly tract this year. The fellowship’s leader talked about how people not only receive the tracts (Dhoni-wala) they get from us, but also read them with interest. A family from Pondy ordered six sets of Duke’s books to be used as Christmas gifts! A Chennai church youth group used both the Bubbly and Dhoni tracts in their musical outreach in a busy shopping area of Chennai. They reported how people voluntarily picked up our tracts and started reading them, then and there.
QUOTE POSTER MINISTRY, INSTAGRAM REELS MINISTRY, YOUTUBE SHORTS MINISTRY
Thanks to Gipu James, we released a number of Quote posters of Duke this year. Naveen Vamsi worked on a number of shorts/reels with Duke’s content. Vikas Yadav created both posters and videos.
FIRST UPLOADS ON TO SPOTIFY
This year, Duke’s audio messages were uploaded onto Spotify. When you ask Siri this, “Siri play Duke Jeyaraj’s messages on Spotify,” some of his messages will start playing. Here is one sample upload: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/duke-jeyaraj. We plan to keep uploading more such messages onto Spotify to bless those who listen to audio via Spotify as they drive.
THANK YOU
Bro. Charles and Sis Josline arranged for a wonderful holiday for Duke, Evan and Datasha in Alibag and Mumbai (including a cruise) (Dale could not join as he is studying in Delhi). God bless them! Duke shot this video during the Sea Cruise:

The Lord supplied the Annual subscriptions of our Kahoot, Zoom, Canva, WordPress account, again through the giving of His people.
FAMILY
Evan Duke is the lynchpin of G4 Mission. Duke runs through all the preaching invites he receives through her. Only if she says “yes” does he take up any preaching invitation! She and Duke preached together in two youth camps this year! The Fountain Zoom, the Battle Plead Zoom, the Monthend Midnight Zoom – Evan and Duke do it together! They are like Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill for the Lord (SEE THE FIRST PIC OF THIS REPORT)!
Dale Duke, the son of Duke and Evan preached God’s Word in a State that even Duke has not preached in, this year – the state of Uttarakhand!
Dale also joined his dad Duke for some tract outreaches this year:
Datasha Duke, the daughter of Duke and Evan, runs an audio Bible channel using a version of the Bible which does not have a audio version in Youtube as yet, the Voice Version. This year she released the audio version of The book of Hebrews, The Voice Version. Hear it here:

We are supported by the freewill donations of those blessed by Duke and Evan’s messages/ministry over the years. Most of these supporters are Indians living inside India. We file income tax returns as individuals (Duke and Evangeline) year after year. We also submitted an audited account to the Government of India, year after year. Duke is seen with the senior-most member of the public religious trust which was registered in 2007 (the G4 Mission Trust) below, Annan Silver Ramesh (they met up earlier this year):
