G4 Mission/Duke Jeyaraj quarter century ultra brief ministry report (2001-2025)
As the world moved into the year 2001, Duke Jeyaraj was a M. Div. student of Southern Asia Bible College, Bangalore (now CGLD). Duke preached God’s Word under the banyan tree that year to the senior students of Santhosa Vidhyalaya, Tirunelveli, South India. Duke’s addresses are still remembered by the students who heard him then. Some of those who committed for fulltime ministry are doing fulltime ministry!!! We thank God for the using us to bring forth fruits that last!!! In the March of 2001, the Lord gave Duke the privilege of being the valedictorian as he graduated with a M. Div. Gold Medal. Here is his address on servant leadership:
In the year 2002, Duke Jeyaraj was the youth pastor of the Assemblies of God church in New Delhi. God gave him the grace to raise up a youth church of around 30 people. It was at this time, he took the youth of this church for outreach in Ansal Plaza, New Delhi. He himself wrote the tracts that was used for this outreach, a tract called, Ashwariya Felt It: The Vacuum In The Heart. Here is a picture from the meeting that Duke had with the youth after such outreaches in the lawns of Ansal Plaza:
In 2003, Duke and his wife Evan were already based in Trivandrum working for Blessing Youth Mission. He wrote for the Blessing magazine, the voice of this Mission. Here is an article that he wrote for the Sept 2003 issue of Blessing mag (the first paragraph):
In 2004, Duke continued to work as a missionary with Blessing Youth Mission based out of Trivandrum. In the National Staff Retreat of Blessing Youth Mission in Tirupathur, Duke conducted a Bible exam for the Missionary Kids and conducted a quiz. What’s more, Duke’s little son, Dale was dedicated by the Mission’s founder, uncle R. Stanley.
In the year 2005, Duke preached to the youth who attended Blesso, the annual program of Blessing Youth Mission in Sitteri Hills. His missionary challenge from Bible questions is still remembered. His uncle, Pastor Gnanasekaran interpreted into electrifying Tamil for Duke. 80% of the audience committed for Mission involvement including Fulltime Missions. Here is an illustration from the movie shooting featuring Titanic fame Kate Winslet which Duke talked about in that message which moved even the interpreter into silent tears:
The full message officially released by Blessing Youth Mission is here:
In 2006, Duke along with his wife Evan started the Grabbing the Google Generation from Gehenna Mission (the G4 Mission) having moved to Hyderabad. One of the earliest invitations that Duke received then was from Pas Younus Samuel, then-pastor of youth of the New Life AG Church that met in the Millennium Gardens, Secunderabad. Here is Duke’s message to 300 youth who gathered during the valentine day month of Feb 2006 – Duke preached to them on what the Bible teaches on True Romantic Love from Song of Song. Watch it here:
The G4 Mission was officially registered as a Public Religious Trust in 2007 with Duke’s dad, Mr. A. Jeyaraj, the senior Blessing Youth Mission missionary and leader, helping this process (He was also part of the founding board of this Trust). During 2007, when Evan was heavily pregnant with Datasha, Duke was in Darjeeling preaching God’s Word to Nepali youth there. The Lord moved mightily there. One message was titled, Salvation Speaks About Salvation! Duke also addressed three message for the Youth Alive youth of the NLAG in their Summer for Jesus in the same year. His missionary challenge from Isaiah 6 was responded to by youth who are now in fulltime ministry! Duke explained in this message how even fallen servants of God challenge us to do passionate ministry for Jesus. Watch it here:
In 2008, Duke quit the HSBC Global Resourcing job he had picked up for tent-making purposes as His wife encouraged him to do so and became fulltime with G4 Mission along with wife who was already a fulltimer with G4 Mission. It was during this year that Pastor Valson Varghese, the National Youth Ministry chairman of the AGI, invited Duke preach to the National Youth Leaders of the Assemblies of God movement in Hyderabad. His unforgettable challenge to these leaders awakened a little revival. Watch that address here:
In 2009, Duke was invited to adress 1300 youth of the Assemblies of God from all over India in their National Youth Convention in Chennai. He talked about seven Bs of beating temptation, a message that touched youth even outside India (thanks to the video recording that went to youtube). Here it is:
In 2009, we continued to publish, The Days of Your Youth, our periodic Google Generation Bible teaching, Gospel presenting magazine. Here is the cover and pics of the volunteers who served us then (Eugene Pandian still serves us as a volunteer):
In 2010, Duke released his first book, Straight Talk, a Bible teaching on sex, love, marriage, porn with 20 chapters.

During 2011, Duke and his wife were invited to preach God’s Word in Singapore by Profit Fellowship associated with GEMS Mission.

And Duke and Evan ministered to working professionals in Singapore during that trip. Here is one message that Duke preached during this trip which was uploaded onto Youtube by Profit Fellowship:
In 2012, Duke was asked to preach to 1700 youth from all over India in the Assemblies of God youth convention at the National Level in Hyderabad. Duke’s narration of the naughty boy who was flirting with flirty aunty from Proverbs 7 cut the hearts of the youth who heard him. The modern youth came forward to repent of their sins during the altar call. Duke also answered a question in this conference, a taboo topic question: “Can I watch porn if I plan on using what I learn only inside my marriage?”
In 2012, God used Duke and Evan to minister to 2000 youth in a college auditorium in Vijayawada with the people who committed for fulltime ministry joining him in the stage. Here is one picture from that event:

In 2016, Duke was invited to speak over 1000 medicos in Shiloh, a conference hosted by CMC Vellore. At the end of his first talk, it was a sight for sore eyes to see the doctors in making walk forward to the front to receive Jesus after Duke’s repentance call from Ezekiel 16. Watch it here:
In 2017, Duke continued his regular tracts outreaches with companions such as Arul Johnson. After an outreach to corporates who walked in and out of the famous DLF building in Hyderabad, Duke did the customory road side devotion which he does after every monthly oureach.

In 2019, a church in Dubai invited Duke to preach God’s Word to their youth along with two other speakers. The church again sent Duke the air tickets for this ministry.

This 25-year journey has been exciting. Should the Lord spare our lives for a few more days/months/years/decades/or even one quarter (2026-2050), and if the coming of the Lord is delayed, we will still work for Jesus among the Google Generation/Gen Zs.
