Kairos in Japan

Following the first Kairos Course held in Japan last September, plans are now in place for a second intensive course this time to be held in Osaka and hosted by Jesus Family. Once again the objective is to primarily draw pastors and potential facilitators together, so that Kairos can successfully contribute to seeing a missions movement in Japan and from Japan to other least reached nations.

In preparation a full day training seminar was run in April by Linda from Kairos UK.

The Facilitators Training Course manual and accompanying PowerPoint slides were translated into Japanese. The training was run in both Japanese and English and 6 people (3 Japanese; 3 missionaries) participated in the training. This is the team who will run the course scheduled for Osaka July 2nd – 6th. Two of the facilitators (Graeme and Yoshie) helped run the 1st Kairos course. Further work is needed on the DVDs, and minor amendments to the written materials, before the next course.
