“In Jesus all the nations will put their hope.”
cf. Mt 12:21
Catholic Charismatic Youth from all over the world have a common aim in 2012. In their mission of spreading the culture of Pentecost, they will gather in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil from July 10th to 15th. They will show to the rest of the world that their hope lies in just one name: Jesus. This will be the World Youth Meeting of Catholic Charismatic Renewal, the first event with the goal of gathering our youth from different parts of the globe.

The event is one of the activities promoted by ICCRS in preparation for the Golden Jubilee to be celebrated in the year 2017, but it also serves to introduce the Catholic Charismatic Renewal youth to the entire world. 5,000 young people are expected for the event, representing more than 100 countries.
The programme is varied, including several meaningful activities for youth. The first activity programmed is a pilgrimage with a cross as a great public manifestation of faith. The programme also offers pre-conference activities for the participants from abroad, who will be able to choose from four missionary activities.
On the following days, the programme will include prayer and worship sessions, talks, formation activities and masses during the day, whereas in the evenings there will be cultural and artistic presentations by the different countries participating in the Conference.
Providing an opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of Foz do Iguaçu, there will be a different activity on Saturday: the participants will go on a walk to the National Park of Iguaçu. It will be a pilgrimage that includes spirituality, sharing of experiences and contact with nature!
An important highlight is that CCR in Brazil will hold simultaneously its XXX National Congress, an outstanding occasion for sharing as CCR family.

May the Lord Jesus Christ reign supreme at this event and may all who attend and all associated with it be blessed mightily by the Holy Spirit. I pledge to pray everyday for this event to be a light to the world and a testimony of how God can bless all His children.
God is Good,
He loves His children, He loves us and He wants that we be one.
In particular, He asks to let come to Him little children, the young people…
May He bless ICCRS!!!
It is good idea to the youth all the world. This is a way of bringing the youth together to share experiences, scriptural, prayers etc. What are challenges facing the youth in Catholic Charismatic Renewal today in the Church? And what are the challenges facing the leaders of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal today in the church today?
Creo firmemente que este encuentro es la base para asegurar el futuro de nuestros lideres mundiales de la RCC y esperanza para todo el mundo. Que Dios bendiga a los organizadores y que la divina providencia permita la llegada de muchos jóvenes.
Dear Brothers in the world! I am Brazilian, and charismatic, and can be assured that the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Brazil is waiting for you! Peace and Fire!
Todos los dias cuando rezo el Rosario de la Misericordia el Pido a dios poder ir al Encuentro. Les pido que me ayuden en oracion.
I am really impressed by the way our international office, ICCRS is carrying us along with the programmes connecting us as one family in the Holy Spirit.
May the good Lord bless the formators and organizers.
Please I have a burden of voluntary mission evangelism to convert souls for Christ on a short term pattern, so I can still come back to my commitment here.
I have been involved in such mission in Botswana, Africa.
