The Jesus Youth Middle East Team hosted a Leaders' Training Program in Tbilisi, Georgia, from March 16th to 20th, at the Bishop’s House near the Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary. The program, aimed at equipping youth leaders from across the Middle East, included a retreat, sessions on personal spirituality, leadership, mission, and outreach activities in nearby villages and churches.

Seventeen young participants gained a deeper understanding of youth ministry and had a personal encounter with Christ. The programme featured resource persons Fr. Shyjan Chemmarappallil, Jomy Abraham, Santosh Mathew, Biji Santosh, and Vivek George, focusing on forming youth leaders with an evangelistic heart. The commissioning Mass was celebrated by His Excellency Bishop Giuseppe Pasotto, Bishop of the Apostolic Administration of the Caucasus (Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan).
