Dear friends,
As we step into this new year, I carry a deep sense of gratitude in my heart. During the International Assembly in November, you entrusted me once again with the responsibility of serving as International Coordinator. I sincerely thank each one of you for the love, trust, and prayerful support you have shown to the movement — and to me personally — over the past three years. I have experienced your accompaniment not as an administration standing behind a coordinator, but as a family walking together in faith.

As we begin this new term, I humbly ask you to continue the same support for the new council. More than strategies or plans, what sustains a movement is prayer, unity, and shared responsibility. Please keep us in your prayers so that we may discern rightly, serve faithfully, and remain rooted in the Lord’s will.

Over the past period, we journeyed together in Listening to the Movement. It was not merely a consultation process; it became a spiritual experience. We heard joys, struggles, hopes, and wounds. Through all these voices, one call became clear — the Lord is inviting us to conversion.
Not a superficial improvement, not small adjustments to make things easier — but a deeper transformation.
We recognized four dimensions of this call:

- Conversion of life and communion
- Conversion of systems
- Conversion of mission

This echoes the Church’s call today: identity is renewed not by activity alone, but by conversion. A movement grows not because we do more, but because we become more — more rooted in Christ, more united as a community, and more available for His mission.

Now we enter the implementation phase. This is the most important part. Documents do not transform movements; converted hearts do. Our communities must become spaces where lives are truly changed — where prayer is real, relationships are authentic, structures serve people, and mission flows naturally from love for Jesus.
Let us therefore ask:
How can our families, prayer groups, ministries, and leadership reflect a transformed life?
How can we channel our charisms in a way that serves better, loves deeper, and witnesses more clearly?

The Lord is not asking us to simply improve the movement.
He is inviting us to become the movement He dreams of.
Let us walk together into this new season — with gratitude for the past, responsibility for the present, and hope for what God will do among us.

Please continue to journey with us in prayer and unity.
With love and hope in Christ,

Dr.Midhun Paul 
Jesus Youth international Coordinator
