What is Kairos?

At its foundation, Kairos is a discipleship course that invites participants to consider who they are, where they are, and how God has uniquely qualified them to join Him in His redemptive work--starting right where they are. 

Kairos covers four areas of God’s mission. The material reviews the overarching theme of scripture, tracing God’s redemptive mission from Genesis to the end of the age; looks briefly at the history of the mission of God from the end of the book of Acts until now; and then covers the cultural and strategic aspects of God’s mission in today’s world.  All the material is integrated together, so participants leave with more clarity on next steps and a good start on a plan of action. 

Kairos impacts at a heart level by combining video teaching with hands-on activities, devotions and prayer. Between sessions, participants invest in reading short selections from a wide variety of authors, reflecting on the material, and then processing what it means for their life in facilitated small group discussions. Kairos provides an environment for interaction and reflection, challenging participants toward tangible, ongoing action steps.

The Bible is a book about God on mission, and God has invited us, his people to join him.  We believe God’s amazing mission will impact our changing neighbourhoods through ordinary people faithfully finding ways to share the love of Jesus right where they are. 

Offered in over 60 countries, and 30 languages, stretching around the globe, Kairos is much more than a course – it’s a movement!

Navigate the intersections; find your place; realign with God. Take Kairos!

A Vanilla Life: 5 Questions to Consider as you Build Cross-Cultural Friendships

 

5 Questions to Consider as you Build Cross-Cultural Friendships.

Vanilla describes most of my childhood: Food was predictable, community was homogenous, and the exotic or unusual was reserved for travelogue shows on TV.

Vanilla was my ice cream flavor of choice. It was safe, predictable, and delicious. All those other flavors might not be as good…and risking ice cream disappointment seemed unimaginable to me. It wasn’t until my teens that I discovered the delights of Mint Chocolate Chip, Maple Walnut, and other wonderful flavours.

Wasting Seed

Anybody who has visited my house knows I like to garden. A few years ago, my husband and daughter built me a greenhouse so I can start my plants from seed. Each precious seed is carefully placed in prepared soil and carefully nurtured to grow strong before being transplanted into the garden to grow up and produce a harvest. 

Recently I’ve been rereading the Parable of the Sower (or maybe better called the Parable of the Soils) from Matthew 13. 

What is startling to me in this parable is the complete disregard of the sower for all the seed that is wasted. No gardener deliberately throws seed on the path, or amongst weeds, or on rocky ground. Seed is reserved for fertile soil.  

So why is this sower apparently happy to waste so much seed?

Understanding God's Heart for Myanmar

A testimony from a Kairos Alumna.

"I have realized that God is the one who controls and prepares everything. He has already arranged everything, and He is willing to patiently change and move me, such a trivial person, to prepare my heart and to take me step by step along the way to unlock the fullness of everything He has prepared."
