The International Forum of the Ecumenical Youth of the Good Will of God has been held since 1975. It is an open and permanent space for young people of all ages. It promotes studies and debates, artistic and cultural activities, as well as solidary and educational collective actions. It is organized by the Ecumenical Youth of the Good Will of God, a Youth Movement of the Good Will Organizations.

The President-Preacher of the Religion of God, of the Christ, and of the Holy Spirit, José de Paiva Netto. 

In its 42nd edition, the Forum, which is carried out throughout an entire year, addresses the topic chosen by the participants themselves: “We Are All Prophets,” thesis of the President-Preacher of the Religion of the Third Millennium, José de Paiva Netto, and the title of one of his literary works from the collection “O Apocalipse de Jesus para os Simples de Coração” [The Apocalypse of Jesus for the Simple-Hearted], a collection that brings together a series of analyses of the Final Prophecies that have been published in books, newspaper articles, magazines, and websites, as well as on radio and TV. Find out more about the history of the Religion of the Third Millennium and the Apocalypse of the Christ of God.

“We urgently need to show that Prophecy is not necessarily synonymous with punishment, but that it sets out the correlations that exist between cause and effect. It is the sum of what we have done before that is good or bad. We need to learn this in order to make it an element for conscious progress, so that we transform ourselves, in full consciousness, into agents of our own future on Earth and in Heaven,” Paiva Netto in his article “Awakening the Conscientious Citizen.”

Check out some of these analyses of the Apocalypse of Jesus in the following articles:
- A Heavenly Promise as to the End of Pain

On Saturday, July 1, 2017, the concluding event of the 42nd edition of the Forum takes place. This is a special day that will include fraternal actions, cultural presentations, and the closing official session bringing the fraternal and ecumenical word of Brother Paiva Netto, who will enlighten us with regard to the Gospel-Apocalypse of the Divine Master and inspire all to be the protagonists of the good transformations they desire for themselves, for their families, for their communities, and the world. This is a great event for families! Mark it on your calendar and don’t miss this opportunity! =)

WHAT MOTIVATES ALL THIS?

The Supreme Objective of the Religion of God, of the Christ, and of the Holy Spirit is to prepare the way for the Triumphal Return of Jesus to Planet Earth. The Legionnaire Youth acts in this sense: in each activity that it carries out, it takes the sacred teachings of the Divine Master, which fill us with Hope, Renewal, Life, Respect, Love, and Justice. The Ecumenical Christ, the Divine Statesman, speaks to those who practice good values, without distinction in terms of social class, ethnicity, religion or non-religion. So, His lessons are for all, in all possible contexts.

The Youth Movement of the Good Will Organizations also disseminates the message that every good attitude is an anticipation of Christ's Return, which must first occur in the heart of each one of us, as Paiva Netto teaches: “Jesus is born and reborn every day in hearts of Goodwill. He also returns, in advance, in the actions of human beings who cultivate His ideal of Goodness.” So the time to do Good and expand it is all the time!
