The KAIROS Course can be done in several ways. First, there is the 5 day Intensive where you do 1-3 sessions a day combining weekends, nights and days, or 5 regular work weekdays, etc. Another way is to do KAIROS by having a class on Friday night, 2 on Saturday, 1 one Sunday afternoon for 2 weekends - plus working in the 9th session near the end. There is also the standard way of doing KAIROS over a period of 9 weeks. A fourth avenue you can use is doing 4 Saturdays of 2 sessions each and then schedule in the 9th session wherever it fits best. You get the picture...be as creative as you need to be, check out alternatives, discuss it with us if you want, and then just do KAIROS! We want to get KAIROS into your hands as quickly as we can!

Each KAIROS session is about 21/4 to 21/2 hours in length. Every participant receives a Reader, Group Prayer Guide featuring major religions and bloc of the world population. One page Worksheets are used to reinforce main points of each lesson, and handouts tailored to your particular group. In all, there are 7 main components to a KAIROS Experience. Each session is composed of a short time of worship along with devotions and prayer centering on God, you, people groups and missions. There are informative introductions to each lesson given by the KAIROS facilitators. Participants come together in Growth Point Groups of 5-6 individuals who gather to discuss and share insights and questions from each lesson. The CWMC uses Video/DVD lectures by leading missiologists and relevant DVD case studies. There are optional activities such as cross cultural games that can be run as a generic exercise or structured and tailored to your particular group of participants. In addition to this, KAIROS offers you a contextualized worship service modeled after a Muslim background believer's house church gathering. Additional DVDs covering a wide range of mission activity, special speakers you might want or short local field trips are optional and may add to the overall cost of the course.

Another attractive feature of KAIROS is that it is very affordable (currently $55 USD per student in America for standard Kairos) KAIROS can be used as a "stepping stone" to the larger more academic "Perspectives Course", or as a follow up course to share some of what you have learned with people who are not yet ready to commit to a longer course. KAIROS is great as a mobilization tool and entrance level course into missions or as part of the basic training for short term mission teams going to other nations and cultures. Portions of the KAIROS experience can be adapted to fit into Bible studies, Sunday school classes, home fellowships and more.

When you take KAIROS we also offer "Certification" where you may become a KAIROS facilitator and run your own KAIROS training, multiply facilitators, etc. This is offered at no additional cost for those who successfully complete the KAIROS Course. KAIROS is offered internationally in several languages and other new translations are nearly completed. The cost for doing a CWMC in developing nations is less than in developed countries (inquiries are welcomed).

KAIROS is part of the "Perspectives Family" of mission courses that contain some of the "core values" held by a large consortium of leading missiologists.
