Reaching Out to the Youth | Italy

October 2025

The Jesus Youth mission in Italy is making significant strides in engaging local youth and fostering a vibrant prayer culture. Special focus has been given to reaching out to Italian youth through prayer groups and youth forums.

Key developments include:

  • Ravenna: An Italian prayer group was started seven months ago and continues to grow steadily. Five of its members have also participated in the Assisi Youth Forum, gaining exposure to the broader European mission.
  • Bologna: A new English prayer group has been established to cater to the diverse youth community.
  • Turin: Plans are underway to start a new Italian prayer group, expanding the movement’s reach further.
  • Upcoming Initiatives: The team is preparing to organize an Italian youth camp/retreat in the spring of next year, aiming to strengthen fellowship and spiritual growth among young participants.

These initiatives reflect the ongoing commitment of Jesus Youth leaders in Italy to nurture faith, build community, and inspire young people to take an active role in the mission.
