Kairos Global is a Catholic magazine for youth and young families, published by Jesus Youth – an International Catholic Movement approved by the Holy See.
The name, Kairos is an ancient Greek word that means, ‘opportune moment’. To a Christian, it is God’s anointed time – a special time of grace. As St. Paul says in 2 Corinthians 6:2, ‘See, now is the acceptable time (kairos); see, now is the day of salvation.’
After two decades’ publication of the Malayalam Kairos, there was felt a need for an English magazine that would not only unite Jesus Youth from across cultures and regions but which could be used as a tool to spread the Good News, the world over. It is from here Kairos Global took form.
Kairos Global is unique in various ways. This is the only Catholic magazine that focuses on youth and young families. It is put together in a simple format, with testimonies of teens, youth, and young families. Kairos tries to avoid preaching and attempts to present things in a contemporary tone, thus sharing the love of God.
