Reaching Children, Creatively



"GEMS Children ministry grew to become a full pledged department reaching out to thousands of children in Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Nepal.

An old Chinese proverb says,
“Tell me and I will forget
Show me and I will remember
Involve me and I will understand
Step back and I will act”

This is very true in the ministry among children and arts comes to aid in making this possible, in engaging children effectively and meaningfully. Arts play a great part in making the learning for children very interesting. It makes the children enjoy what they learn." writes Mr. Joseph (Children Dept. Coordinator, GEMS) in this article in the Magnifying Glass column of The CALL and goes on to talk about the various forms of art used in the ministry among children and their effectiveness.

English Literature & My Bible Study



"Literature is generally considered as a ‘reflection of life’. A person from a non-literature background (academically), might assume that the study of English Literature is all about romantic poems, never-ending novels, and insipid dramas. But study of English Literature has a lot more to offer that would be helpful for our personal Bible study..." writes Roland Rencewigg (Verbal Faculty, SRM University, Chennai) in this Get Equipped column article of The CALL.

Book Review: Booker Prize Winner “The White Tiger”



"One reason why ‘The White Tiger’ has won the booker prize is, we believe, the real depiction of the struggles of the poor, the oppressed class and their miserable lives. The immorality of the wealthy and greedy, corruption of the politicians, the evils of the caste system, the inefficiency of the police is depicted truly.

Though Arvind clearly brings out the problems of the poor, he does not show a morally and ethically viable way to solve this. This retrospective narration if combined with introspective aspects would show the way to reconciliation and resolution..." write Mariyosh & Angeline in this Book Review on the Bihar-Bangalore connection book, ‘Booker Prize Winner ‘The White Tiger’.
