Jesus Celebration 2033 (JC2033) is a global movement dedicated to commemorating the 2000th anniversary of the resurrection of Jesus Christ in the year 2033. Founded by Olivier Fleury, the initiative seeks to unite Christians worldwide in a decade-long journey of preparation, culminating in a grand celebration at Easter 2033.
Founder: Olivier Fleury
Olivier Fleury’s journey began in the graphic arts industry, where he worked for a decade until 1995. He then trained with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) and attended Bible institutes in Dallas, USA, and Sydney, Australia. In 1997, Olivier joined YWAM Switzerland, dedicating over 13 years to developing Alpha courses for the French-speaking world. He later served as YWAM’s Executive Director for French-speaking Switzerland and, in 2012, became the director for YWAM Switzerland, overseeing 250 full-time staff members. The vision for JC2033 was ignited in Olivier’s heart in 1999, and a profound experience in 2007 further solidified his commitment to this mission. Since 2017, he has devoted himself entirely to developing JC2033, traveling to over 55 countries to share this vision.
