Open Session: Youth Ministry

January 18– 29, 2010

“Go and make disciples of all the nations.” (Mt 28:19)

We have the conviction that Jesus Christ is good news for young people. It means to
be available to listen to youth and meet them where they are, in their different
stages of life, across the world. Within the Church, we train them to be disciples of
Jesus Christ, committed to issues which are currently at stake, as well as to partici-
pate in constructing a world of more justice and solidarity.

The Institute of Formation, Fondacio Asia (IFFAsia) established in May 2006, seeks to support the mission of
local Churches and communities to respond to local needs. IFFAsia forms young leaders with a community
and missionary spirituality for the renewal of the Asian Church and society.
IFFAsia welcomes young adults and potential leaders in their early 20’s to mid 30’s for the 10 month live-in
formation. IFFAsia proposes an integral and holistic approach to formation which includes various currents of
formation, built upon the four pillars of Human, Spiritual, Social and Pastoral formation.
