Growing In Love From The Heart

Who Are We?

As Kerygma Australia, we believe that loving from the heart matters, whether it has to do with:

Relationship with God
Relationships as couples & families
Relationships within the church family
Relationships for a better world

So, we seek to grow and empower others to grow in these spheres of relationships.

We invite you to join us on this journey of growing in love from the heart.

Kerygma Australia is a branch of ‘Kerygma’ and a part of the ‘YWAM’ global family of ministries. In Australia, ‘YWAM Canberra’ is our home community.

What People Are Saying About Us

Cassius Soares has been an active member of our parish community over the past three years and an important contributor to our mission here. His extensive training and experience through YWAM and Kerygma has been such a gift to us. Cassius launched and coordinated our Alpha Course which has brought much life to our community and introduced a new evangelising thrust to our mission. He has been an important voice on our Senior Leadership Team, helping us to develop our vision and strategy over the years. Cassius has also offered courses and mentoring for married couples, developed a men's sharing group, and is now leading the Following Jesus program aimed at young adults. Most importantly though, Cassius has a deep faith and is a wonderful witness of Gospel values to those around him. I am grateful for his friendship, and his strong leadership in our community.

As I have engaged with Kerygma ministries in various parts of the world, I have been consistently impressed with both the concept and the outworking of Kerygma. As well as their ministry within the Catholic church, it has helped myself and others gain understanding and engage more meaningfully with the Catholic world. I hope to see their ministry expand and grow across Australia and the world.

The Danger of A Single Story

In this TedTalk, novelist Chimamanda Adichie tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice – and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding. I find there are some key truths /principles in this talk, which also apply to other discussions which are currently happening in our world.

Unity in Diversity

We’ve just celebrated Pentecost Sunday and I am reminded of the kind of unity that the Holy Spirit brings in our relationships, as we open ourselves to His work in our hearts. The distinctive mark of the Holy Spirit is NOT oppressive unity, NOR conflictual diversity, but Unity in Diversity.

An Anointed Leader to Bring Us All Together

Today begins the annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. It’s a whole week dedicated to praying Jesus’ prayer at the Last Supper: “That they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you” (John 17:21). What better way to begin this week than with a reading about a king anointed to unify God’s people?
