Kairos
The Kairos Course is a nine-session, interactive course on world Christian mission, designed to educate, inspire and challenge Christians to active and meaningful participation. It is ideally suited to be conducted in local churches, organizations or with special interest groups such as Christian businesspeople.
The Kairos Course utilizes a variety of adult learning styles including group discussions, short lecture introduction, devotions, video teaching and student participation in specially designed activities.
Kairos looks at the four main areas of mission concern which are the Biblical, Historical, Strategic and Cultural dimensions of mission.

We are pleased to announce that a PERSPECTIVES COURSE will be conducted at Living Springs International (LSI) Butuan City, Philippines beginning at 3pm Saturday July 26 and ending at 9pm Friday August 7, 2009 . You may have received an earlier announcement regarding this. For those who have, this serves as the final follow up.
Perspectives is the longer study course from which Kairos Course (CWMC) was derived from. Steve Hawthorne, who along with Dr. Ralph Winter edited the Perspectives Reader, will himself come to conduct the course at LSI together with Bruce Koch, a Perspectives leader based at the US Center for World Mission. This course can be looked upon as a form of upskilling for Kairos graduates, especially for Kairos Course Coordinators, Head Facilitators and Facilitators. We are however encouraging non-Kairos people to also enroll, especially those who may want to use Perspectives in Bible schools. seminaries or training programs.
Perspectives is a study course with assignments that are graded. After the two weeks of class and assignments at LSI, there will also be about two weeks worth of take-home reading and assignments that will need to be submitted at a later date. A ‘Completion of Perspectives Course’ Certificate will be given to those who have fully completed all course requirements.
