 rather a short one. So I just wanted to you know check with you all if you were able to you know get that new resource material if you check that you know if you went through that it is a it's a book and it's a guide on writing a research paper right it's it's quite useful so you can go through that and I think okay success so were you able to see that or is there a problem with that yeah sorry we couldn't see that you can see that yeah because I see one comment there that he by success saying that he can't see it okay just a minute let me let me just upload it once again and see if it's an issue I don't know what happened here okay let me just see okay can you just check once please yeah now we can see there was some issue with the Internet and now it's working okay okay so so it's quite a useful you know book which you can use just to you know just go through just to refer to and so I'll just encourage you to go through it you know it just helps you prepare for the research and also prepare writing the you know research paper it's a general you know general resource to how to write a research paper so it just gives you you know some very helpful tips about analysis about presentation and also about choosing the topic right it gives you some more insight on choosing the research topic now choosing in the of course we have certain and so on what we discussed earlier so so based on that of course but it gives you some some additional information right on how to go about it so you could use that and also about the target audience know who are you targeting in the sense you know what is it about who are the people from whom you are getting the information or what is the study about what kind of people and so even that information so you can go through that there is a section on doing the research there is a section you know on on the internet on Google doing those searches how to go about so it's it's quite a very simple and and yet detailed you know resource which you can refer to right you can keep referring to it over and over again at any point in your in your research right so so that's that's something that you can go through I'm glad I checked I thought it was uploaded right okay okay so I just want to open this time up if you know if any of you have any any questions I hope you would have started doing some work on what you know what you decided so any questions on what you started and maybe you encountered some challenges some problems any questions you can feel free to ask and we can take a look at that any questions at all we have to write in this format the format you sent before just now no this is a book this is a book that will help you yeah this is a resource that will help you to give you the details about how to go about it you know how to analyze and so on so it's it's something that you can refer to but the format is a template that I gave that we we had actually shared earlier I also gave you a link saying it's the MLA format Modern Language Association that format is what we're going to use right so that yeah you just familiarize yourself time from time to time I think it's good to just go over that and see what the format is about and then also the template no let me just double check that whether you receive the template just a minute yeah if you can to yeah resources yeah it is there right the template I think yeah that's that's been that was posted on Jan 19th so the MLA sample template right current so you can follow that so that's a that's a simple enough format so it you know and before that we are actually there was a link that I had shared no in the guidelines which has a link to what you know that that gives a very detailed explanation of what the MLA format is so each each kind each each of these report formats have their own guidelines like what the font should be what the I mean what the font size should be what should be the line spacing and all that so you can follow them and the template is there to to make it simpler for you I just have to follow the template right okay so anything in particular about the the research itself you know that you've started off anything about the reading material anything about the resource itself any any challenges any difficulties or any challenges in starting getting started maybe you still not started and you know you're finding it difficult saying okay how do I start where do I start you know that kind of a situation also maybe you can you just you can talk about that any challenges of that nature anything at all there's nothing then I just want to share something just give me a minute okay so what we'll do is we'll just watch this video okay and I want you to make some observations just like you to observe the video and then I will have some questions after the video okay so so so it's again another small exercise for us to you know put it in writing right what we've observed what we're analyzing written writing in simple language right so but I like us to frame like full sentences so that thinking about the you know the presentation in mind right so how best I can present what I'm seeing what I'm observing so let me just share that and yeah let's see if that happens just once but I just like you to tell me if you can hear the audio also okay it is a video that I'm playing I just like you to tell me if I if you can hear the audio also okay let's check this can everybody see that what I'm sharing yeah can you just just tell me quickly tell me if you can see it okay now can you just tell me if you thank you for the opportunity to be able to come to you yeah Thomas you have a problem you can't see all of these are just short and brief you can hear also that these devotionals okay okay okay I'm encouraging you in your walk of faith with the Lord okay now what I'd really like us to do is to to watch this to kind of take down right to to whatever you're observing okay so I just like you to write down maybe points about what what pastors saying but generally to be observant okay about the entire video and and then I will ask I'll post some questions which you can you know which you can type out the answer in your own I mean you can write it down and then we can share it later okay but first of all I just like you to watch this video okay I'm gonna like switch off my screen so that bandwidth is okay greetings and thank you for the opportunity to be able to come to you and spend time with you the Word of God and prayer although these are just short and brief moments we trust that these devotionals are building you up and encouraging you in your walk of faith with the Lord this week I just want to share some stories from our own life especially the early days the very beginning of from the time of coming to know Jesus Christ as my Savior and some things that took place in those early days personally it is always very encouraging to look back and think about the ways in which God has worked and we also know that sometimes stories are something that people enjoy hearing and can be inspiring the very first story that I want to share this week of course is how I came to know Jesus as my Savior and it happened in a very very simple way I had a friend in school this was sometime in October of 1981 just before my 13th birthday I had a close friend he was at that time he was a believer in Jesus but he came from a non-Christian background now I did not know that he had actually come to faith in Christ I just thought he was a friend was from a non-Christian background but we were close friends because we played football together soccer together in the school team and so we were very close and one afternoon he invited me said would you like to come with me to the chapel in the school where we were studying we had a chapel I was quite surprised why my friend was from a non-Christian background is going to the chapel during lunch break when usually we go play football but because he is my good friend I said okay I'll come with you so we went to the school chapel and there I saw boys were praying and these are some of them I knew my friends so I was very surprised because I didn't know this was happening in my school and towards the end of that short time during lunch break boys were praying or one of the teachers was leading that group came he saw me then he said you come back tomorrow I'll talk to you so the next day I made sure I went back had my lunch went to the chapel during lunch break the teacher was there he took me aside he shared a few words with me and then he prayed with me led me in a very simple prayer now at that moment I did not feel anything in fact I didn't even necessarily understand everything he spoke to me I just prayed I didn't feel anything I didn't see any vision nothing but something happened from that moment on in my life nobody forced me nobody compelled me but something in me had changed and I was able to go back I went back to the chapel I started reading my Bible started praying something had changed in a very simple way and I'm reminded of what happened in Elijah in 1st Kings chapter 19 verse 11 through 13 where the Bible says Elijah heard the sound of an earthquake and a fire and then there was a still small voice and it God was in that voice I look back at those that moment thing I could take away is this that sometimes God works in a very quiet way but in a very very powerful way I didn't know it was happening but in those few moments of prayer my life changed forever so even though it was a very quiet moment it was a very powerful moment it was a life-changing moment God works in very quiet ways but yet very powerful ways we open to that still small quiet work of God that he's doing in your life let's pray father we thank you there are many times in very quiet and it powerful ways you work in us to change our lives forever help us to be receptive to those quiet ways in which you work in Jesus name okay I hope you you know I hope it was clear I think some of you dropped off and came back here and said but I think you got most of it okay so let's I'm just going to post a few questions here I'm just going to read it out so that those who are on the e-learning platform can also know okay so here are the questions put it on the chat so in the video what was the color of the pullover or cardigan that Pastor Ashish was wearing okay second question in the video was he wearing a watch okay third question how old was Pastor Ashish when this incident happened okay fourth question what happened at the school chapel okay so four questions and we're gonna take about maybe five minutes to write these answers for the four questions okay so let me read the questions again in the video what was the color of the pullover slash cardigan that Pastor Ashish was wearing in the video was he wearing a watch how old was Pastor Ashish when this incident happened and what happened at the school chapel so in your own words I want you to describe or answer these questions in your own words but make sure that the answers are in full complete sentences right so this is to help help you to write down what you observe what you observe and to you know in response to the questions to what you observe you just want want you to you know start presenting it writing it down right okay so yeah so let's take some time now it's about 9 24 so let's maybe we'll take six minutes okay 9 30 is when we will come back and I'd like you to take some time to do this okay go ahead I hope everybody understood it if not you can just ask okay so kind of I'd like you to work on this again okay so what what I said was it was a full I wanted full sentences right so which means that you can't give one word answers right so the question is a full sentence so I'd like you to start answering in full sentences so you would have to say okay in the video Pastor Ashish was wearing a blower that was I want you to get right why that is what I'd like us to you know get into the flow of writing it in full sentences presenting it in full sentences so even the second question you know was he wearing a watch it is in full sentence yes in the video he was you know like that and and so on right so please work on this and especially the fourth one fourth one should have a lot of lot more details what happened he explained a lot right how he felt what happened who said to him what and so all that like what happened so what you've given is a very you know it's a gist it's a summary but that's not what I'm expecting right I want the details so what you what you actually heard what happened at the chat okay so just hold on to the answer like you you write it form it you hold on to it and then after everybody's done we have still two more minutes then when I ask you can post it right okay thank you okay right I think so can anyone just post the answers if you can't post it like if you can't cut and paste or anything but yeah you can also read it out like what read exactly what you've written just read it out okay don't have to it don't take away from it whatever you've written down you can read it or you can post it here okay so yeah so kind of if you're ready you can start otherwise others Thomas Dave said here and Kiran Prince you can just go ahead and okay the post it or you can unmute and read it out also okay please go ahead okay Dave the color of the pullover that passed us wearing in the video was blue yes he was wearing a metal chain watch on his left hand okay it was just before his it was actually his 13th birthday right so that other thing yeah so so you can give more details Dave like the fourth fourth response no yes the which is true this is what happened but you can you know you can give more details that you know there was a conversation with it with the teacher and the teacher you know asked him to pray and or prayed with him and he prayed and you know and what happened in the sense he didn't he talks about how he didn't feel anything and then he goes on to talk about you know what happened from that day on right so you could share that as well okay anyone else Dave one more person Kiran would like to try how you heard 15th okay yeah I said 13th okay Kiran you want to try or Aaron you want to try don't make any changes now okay so whatever you've written down you just go ahead and share it okay who else would like to try yeah Kiran go ahead I just I once in the video the color is blue the cardigan was reading it was like in the video he was reading the what yes silver chain and how was the incident happened the 15 years old and what happened at this school chapter the early days but I just had one friend and he invited to the chapter and after after school and make and for their one minute we prayed and the very few very quiet moment on that day nothing happened but later on understood that something it happened a very powerful moment and quite moment encounter called and received received received he just grabbed at the same year thank you thanks good so Kiran is this what you wrote down or you're just saying it out but I'd like you to write exactly right and because the point of the exercise is to write down okay of course see all of us can speak say it out but I'd like us to write it down so that our written communication groups right okay so Thomas Passage was wearing okay so was wearing a blue color over in the video yes he was wearing a watch he was 13 years old when this incident happened so so at or in the school a small prayer transferred that time we could not feel anything but the prayer made an impact on his life so that that sentence you know Thomas like you can you can see how you can word it right it's it has to be in like it has to make a proper sense right so you can reword it so that it sounds good and also it is you know logical so here it's like you started with that school just small prayer so so you just need to make that change you know in the school you had a small prayer and this transferred or trans sorry transformed right you've written transferred but it needs to be transformed so yeah yeah you've got the facts right but you know you just need to form the sentence a little better right okay okay so these are some things so this this would improve you know like I said if you write every day you know if you if you like you can even watch a good exercise would be to watch these videos let's say you know you have these let me just put the link here it's on apc website yeah so that's the link it's apc wo rg slash resources slash daily hyphen devotions right let me just repeat that for the e-learning the students apc wo dot org slash resources slash daily hyphen devotion so you could use that in order to if you want to if you want to to improve this you know you could watch the video every day and then write a small summary of it of what you observe what were the key points and and see you know how it's like writing a blog or writing an article so make sure that okay it is the people person who reads it will will read it till the end right and you can do that so for all of us here you can use this as a as an as an exercise right but it's effective only if you like do it every day and maybe you can even choose two devotions a day right so you're getting you need to get better at it and you need to you need to be able to present it well right and writing so please do that you can you can check you can watch and you can you know you can write it down and yeah so so then you'll build your vocabulary you'll also build your presentation written presentation skills and which is very important okay so we'll stop here and and then you know that's all I wanted to share so we'll stop here we'll probably not meet next Wednesday I'll keep you posted I'll keep you positive but so because like you to you know finish the work or get the search started and make some progress in it so we may not necessarily meet next Wednesday but I'll keep you posted I'll on the stream and also e-learning students I'll also e-learning platform students I'll also post you know on the discussion page whether we are meeting or not so you know if the video is not up by Wednesday Wednesday evening then you know that we haven't met but anyway there will be an information on the on the discussion as a message right okay right thank you have a great day guys okay god bless thank you right see you guys bye-bye
