Welcome to ALL,

NEW YEAR REVIVAL 2011 IS OPEN TO ALL regardless of religion, denomination, race, age, and whatever else you can think of!!!

New Year Revival 2011 is our 2nd Annual Convention hosted by the youths and young families of the Mar Thoma Churches in Dallas, Texas. It is a powerful and blessed experience wherein through the preaching of the Holy Word, song and prayer all enter into the true meaning and depth of Christian fellowship!

In addition to the evening revival meetings, we have organized practical seminars and workshops during the day on January 1, 2011 [10am-5:30pm] to help address and equip youth, young families and parents struggling with various issues.

The theme for this year's New Year Revival is "AWAKE and ARISE" based on Revelation 3:1,2 " I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up! Strengthen what remains ad is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God...".

We live in a world that perpetuates a culture of sleep. What is sleep? Perhaps, we can better understand it as a physical, cognitive and spiritual state of inactivity. Spiritual inactivity doesn't just mean doing nothing or laziness; it refers more to a condition where we close our eyes to the Truth, the Way and the Life - Jesus Christ! Its a state of imagination that keeps us focused on ourselves, "our own" world. Essentially, one of the most elusive forms of spiritual slavery that compels us to crawl around in the dark of our sin.

The resounding voice of the resurrected Jesus Christ reminds the church at Sardis, "I know your deeds..." and it's time they and WE WAKE UP! It is we who must make the decision to GET UP and OPEN OUR EYES to the truth of God that is before us. Nobody can do it for us!!!

So...AWAKE and ARISE!!!!!!!

May your eyes be opened to recognize Him, your eyes willing to listen to His voice and your heart submissive to obey Him!

We would like to invite you to the 2012 New Year Revival which will be held at the Mar Thoma Church of Dallas, Farmers Branch. This is the third annual Revival that will be hosted by the Mar Thoma Churches in Dallas. Come and experience lives being fulfilled, hearts being changed, and spirits being renewed! This will definitely be one that you do not want to miss!

The theme for this Revival is "Tear Down the Walls: Released, Renewed, Restored," and the verse is, "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." -Ezekiel 36:26.

The speaker is Rev. Tyrone Gordon of the United Methodist Church in Dallas, TX. He will definitely prove to be a vibrant speaker, ready to tackle the issues that we as people living in the 21st century face!
