On June 27–28, over 200 Jesus Youth leaders—including members of the National Team and newly elected Regional Teams from across the UAE—gathered at St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church, Ras Al Khaimah, for a grace-filled time of spiritual renewal, fellowship, and formation.
The retreat, themed “United in Spirit, Renewed in Christ,” highlighted the key pillars of leadership within the movement: a personal encounter with Jesus, unity, Jesus Youth spirituality, servant leadership, and a heart of obedience and openness.
Led by Mr. Manoj Sunny, the sessions were both profound and practical, enabling leaders to rediscover the joy of their calling and deepen their readiness to serve with faith and love. Through inspiring talks, heartfelt worship, prayerful silence, group sharing, and vibrant moments of community, participants experienced a space to reflect, reconnect, and be renewed.
The gathering was a timely reminder that authentic leadership in Jesus Youth flows from a life rooted in Christ, nurtured in community, and guided by love.
