Brief History: The 1st Kairos Course was run in Myanmar in November 2005 with 23 participants. Pastors, bible-school lectures, and denominational representatives who attended the course, were excited by this life-changing encounter and requested translation of the course and assistance with running initial courses and training national, Burmese-speaking facilitators. There is also a need to present Kairos at a very non-technical level and an ‘illustrated version’ is therefore on the drawing board. A well-known Bible College has embraced the Kairos Course and various denominations have welcomed this experience for their people.
Needs: Facilitators! Administrator/Burmese national to take over as National Coordinator.
Involvement Opportunities: Prayer partners! Facilitators – both English and Burmese speakers. Financial partners to assist the development and growth in this needy country.
