A POWERFUL INSTRUMENT OF EVANGELISATION | KAIROS GLOBAL | JULY 2026

Author: Dr Midhun Paul

Intro: Dr Midhun Paul, International Coordinator of the Jesus Youth movement, shares why a copy of Kairos Global always accompanies him on his travels. 

Reaching the 100th edition of Kairos Global is a remarkable milestone and a moment of great joy for the entire Jesus Youth family. I extend my heartfelt congratulations and gratitude to the Kairos team, editors, writers, designers, volunteers, and members of the dedicated team whose passion, commitment, and excellence have made this journey possible.

Whenever I hold a copy of Kairos Global, I am deeply inspired by its quality and professionalism. As an international movement, it is a privilege to present a publication that reflects such high standards. It is this commitment to excellence that has earned the magazine recognition and appreciation over the years.

Personally, whenever I travel abroad for meetings with bishops, cardinals, or Church leaders, or attend official gatherings, I make it a point to carry a copy of Kairos Global. It has become one of the finest ways to introduce the Jesus Youth movement. I have had the privilege of presenting it to many bishops and cardinals, and even to Pope Francis. Time and again, they have expressed their appreciation for the magazine's quality and have been encouraged to see such a vibrant and professionally produced Catholic publication.

More than a magazine, Kairos Global is a powerful instrument of evangelisation. It tells stories of faith, mission, and hope, inspiring countless young people and strengthening our identity as an international movement. It reflects the beauty, creativity, and missionary spirit of Jesus Youth to the wider Church and the world.

As we celebrate this milestone, I pray that Kairos Global will continue to touch thousands more lives in the years ahead. May it remain a beacon of faith, an image of the vibrancy of youth in the Church, and an effective tool for proclaiming the Gospel. May God continue to bless everyone who contributes to this beautiful mission.

Congratulations once again on this historic achievement, and best wishes for many more inspiring editions ahead.
