From National Campus Meet '99

"The National Campus Meet ‘99 was truly a remarkable experience in my life. Over a thousand young people from around the country, dynamic sessions, visuals, the Rex Band....3 days that truly introduced to me the love of Jesus in way like I had never known before. It was this Campus Meet, 10 years ago, that changed my life into an entirely new direction. It was this event that led me to commit my life in a dynamic way to the Lord that has continued through these years. I thank the Lord for all the people behind it, and also for giving me the grace to be a part of it....the fruits of which I am enjoying both in my spiritual walk and my personal growth even today. I hope youngsters today take up challenges like these to help them to witness to their peers in a powerful and relevant expressions so more youngsters come to know of the love of Jesus".

Campus Meet is a Jesus Youth initiative to reach out among the campus students and an opportunity for students to encounter the Lord. Each Campus Meet is a venue of celebration where the youth from various campuses come together to experience and celebrate the true meaning of life. The program is designed to speak the message of love and life in the language of the today’s youth. Campus meets are organized in zonal/regional and national level. In Jesus Youth, Campus Meets were started in 1988 with 1500 participants. After that, more than 100 campus meets have happened in various parts of the country. In 1999, the first National campus meet was organized at Bangalore with over 1000 students from all over India.

The Campus Meets adopt a unique style of reaching out to Campus Youth in a way pleasing to them. Each campus meet has its own core theme, and rest of the content is developed based on the core theme. We always make sure that the theme, presentation style and speakers are relevant and attractive to the present youth.
