Jesus Youth US Campus Ministry launched Jesus Youth MaDsters Program - a one-year journey of adventurous missionary discipleship designed especially for college students.This transformative experience will run from January 2026 through February 2027 and is open to young adults
ages 18–24. Rooted in a desire to form vibrant Missionaries And Disciples (MAD), the MaDsters Program invites participants to grow in faith, community, and mission while in college.
Throughout the year, participants will gather monthly at the national, regional, or local levels for dynamic, formative experiences. These include mission opportunities to Ecuador and within the US, MaD weekends, men’s and women’s gatherings, outreach initiatives, a mandatory road trip, and the Zion - Jesus Youth US National Campus Conference Gathering in 2027. Each encounter is designed to deepen their relationship with Christ and strengthen their identity as MAD missionary disciples and become agents of evangelization.
“All the baptized, whatever their position in the Church or their level of instruction in the faith, are agents of evangelization...” Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium, 120.
