EMM is offering this course which is for Christians at any point in their journey with God, guiding each participant into a biblical worldview. It is not strictly a course about the "harvest" but a course which focuses on the "harvesters." It is an opportunity for all God's people to be transformed and aligned with God's heart for the nations. It uses a unique combination of facilitated introductions, reading, videos, group discussions, special activities, and prayer for unreached people. Kairos is one of several mobilization tools produced by Simply Mobilizing International, based in the Philippines but active in over 100 countries around the world. Register by March 21, 2025 The registration fee covers materials, refreshments, and lunches. For questions, please contact Krista Martin.
