WHAT IS KAIROS?
Kairos is a Greek word meaning “an opportune
moment in time.” Now is that time to respond to
Godʼs call and act in faithfulness.
WHAT IS THE KAIROS COURSE?
The Kairos course was developed in the
Philippines in 1994 as a strategy to mobilize and
train an indigenous mission force. The
missionaries saw that the churches were NOT
mobilizing for missions.
Jonathan Lewisʼ 15 lesson World Mission Course
(WMC) was introduced for Filipino church leaders
but they needed a course that was more
accessible to the whole church and easily
reproducible. In 1994 they condensed the WMC,
adapted it to suit different learning styles and in
2004 the CWMC became Kairos.

The Kairos Course is a ministry of
Living Springs International in association
with World Outreach and a member of the
Perspectives Family.
This resource is recognized as being part of the Perspectives Family of
resources. It is not the Perspectives course, but includes much of the
vision and values of the Perspectives course, sponsored by the Institute
of International Studies.
God, the Church, and the World
TESTIMONIES
“Kairos should be a basic course offered in
every church.”
“This was the most profound mission program that
WHERE IN THE WORLD IS KAIROS?
Kairos is in nearly 45 countries around the world and
has been translated into multiple languages! It is
empowering the global church to move out beyond
her walls of local community. Barriers are being
broken and the unreached are being reached as a
result of Kairos in local churches.
I have ever been involved in.”
“Kairos is a needed unveiling of what missions
are doing today.”
“Powerful, life changing.”
“Kairos has helped open my eyes, my heart and
my soul to help further Godʼs plan to reach all
nations.”
“This course is a wake-up call to the ʻtypical
Christianʼ on how to become a
ʻBiblical Christianʼ through missions.”
“I have to redo how I teach the Bible, Iʼve been
teaching it wrong all these years.”
“Itʼs like being on the mount of transfiguration.”
WHY KAIROS IN THE LOCAL CHURCH?
Kairos is designed to produce a worldview change.
It very clearly articulates a strategy, philosophy, and
purpose that reflects the heart of God. God is using
Kairos to speak powerfully about His passion for
reaching the unreached.
KAIROS IS MEANT TO MULTIPLY.
Designed to multiply, Kairos was put together in
such a way that any committed Christian can learn
to facilitate and eventually conduct the course
themself. Itʼs now being taken into Bible Colleges,
missions organizations, churches and small groups
across the country and around the world.
WHY MULTIPLY KAIROS IN THE
UNITED STATES?
There are unreached people groups among us. God
is bringing them to us! Immigration increases our
population drastically every year. We canʼt possibly
reach all of the unreached, so God is bringing them
to our doorstep right here in the United States. We
must prepare to reach them right here and abroad.
WHO IS KAIROS DESIGNED FOR?
Kairos is designed for any Christian looking to
deepen his/her relationship with God. Kairos is
designed to make parallel the desires of Godʼs heart
with every believerʼs heart. Ultimately, Kairos is
designed to transform every believerʼs worldview. Itʼs
not a missions course solely for missions-minded
people. It is for everyone!
HOW IS KAIROS TAUGHT?
The course is facilitated, not
taught. Teaching is done through
the videos, readings, and small
group times. Itʼs a full 40-hour
course that has proven to have
exponential outcomes, as seen
with the example of the Filipino
church. (Kairos can be taught in
one week, four weekends, or
ten weeks.)
Kairos is an overview of the world
Christian movement.
At the heart of the world Christian
movement is Godʼs redemptive
purpose of reaching the whole
world with the gospel of Christ.
