With material from Church tradition, teachings and current Catholic authors we lead the faithful through personal encounters with Jesus Christ to awaken their hearts, open to the Holy Spirit and become missionary disciples.

When most Catholics are asked to share how a personal relationship with Jesus Christ has influenced their life, they struggle to articulate meaningful experiences. They can speak about their ‘Catholic practices’ but not to the very essence of the mission of Jesus Christ. They cannot necessarily articulate what is the proclamation of the ‘Good News’ for their lives and how they experience God’s Truth and Mercy in that proclamation. We invite them into a journey with Jesus Christ to awaken their hearts, discover real relevance of their faith and become missionary in their lives.
