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.

Turn The Other Cheek: The Radical Case for Non-Violent Resistance

In my first post in this series, we ended with the question: What’s a third way forward which avoids the risks of both flight and fight? Today I want to consider the radical case for non-violent resistance.

The Ecumenical Journey of St. John XXIII

The new pope is…like the son of Jacob who, meeting with his brothers, showed them the tenderness of his heart and, bursting into tears, said, “I am Joseph, your brother.” Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, seventy-seven years old and newly installed as Pope John XXIII, surprised the crowds gathered for his coronation Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica when he spoke these words directly to them. Rarely had a pope used such personal language before.

Where am I enslaved to anger and violence in my heart?

In this post, I want to consider how we experience anger as a result of wounding from injustice or another cause. And how that often moves us toward vengeance and violence in our hearts.
