Roots and Wings: Kairos Global Celebrates Jesus Youth Ahead of Rome Conference

To commemorate the October ’26 Jesus Youth International Conference in Rome, Kairos Global takes the movement as its theme for the month. An issue that delves into the heart of Jesus Youth, its mission, ministries, milestones and global presence.

Trace a Movement by its Milestones
In JESUS YOUTH: A TIMELINE, Dr Edward Edezhath takes us on a journey that began in the 1970s, recalling the major events that took place each year since. Prof CC Alicekutty reflects on the initial years that formed a global movement in WHEN A MOVEMENT BROKE GROUND.
Obtaining the Holy See’s canonical approval was an important milestone for Jesus Youth. Raiju Varghese records this in THE CANONICAL RECOGNITION OF JESUS YOUTH.

Moving Globally
Manoj Sunny looks at the various Jesus Youth moments that spurred its country-spanning growth in LED STEP BY STEP.
In A BRIDGE OF PAGES, Nobin Jose writes how the Kairos magazines have immensely helped the movement as a tool of evangelisation.His Grace Archbishop Christopher Prowse, in FORGING NEW ROADS FOR THE GREAT COMMISSION, throws light on new areas of focus for the movement.

Invaluable to the Movement
Santosh Mathew shares how the African mission came into existence in CALLED TO THE HEART OF AFRICA. Dr Santhosh Joseph, who proposed the Jesus Youth full-time programme, writes about its beginnings in A LIFE GIVEN TO THE LORD.

This October, whether in Rome or anywhere else, Kairos Global takes you on a time-travelling journey to the roots and wings of the Jesus Youth movement.
