Mobilizing the Bulgarian Church for God’s Global Mission
The Kairos Course opens believers’ eyes to God’s heart for the nations – and to their own part in reaching the least-reached peoples of the world. Since 2013, Hope for the Balkans has carried Kairos to churches across Bulgaria, uniting Christians from many denominations around a single calling: that every people group would have the chance to hear the Gospel.

What Is the Kairos Course?
Kairos is far more than a class. It is a nine-lesson journey that helps ordinary believers – and whole churches – see the world the way God sees it. Through the Bible, history, culture and strategy, Kairos reveals God’s unchanging purpose to bless every nation, and it calls each of us to play our part so that the remaining least-reached peoples can hear the Good News.
The course was born in the Philippines in 1994, when missionaries saw that local churches were not yet mobilized for mission. Jonathan Lewis’s fifteen-lesson World Mission Course was adapted into something reproducible for the whole church, and in 2004 it became Kairos. Today Kairos is a ministry of Living Springs International and part of the Simply Mobilizing family – present in nearly 100 countries and translated into more than 60 languages. Its aim is not merely to add knowledge, but to change hearts.
Kairos Comes to Bulgaria
We launched Kairos in Bulgaria in 2013, introducing it first through the Mission Department of the Bulgarian Assemblies of God. That very first course was held in Sofia – and every delegate went on to Facilitator Training, equipped to carry Kairos back to their own churches. From that single spark the course has multiplied, year after year, into cities and congregations across the nation.
One of the most beautiful marks of Kairos is the unity it creates. It belongs to no single denomination but to the whole body of Christ, drawing believers together around one common goal: finishing the Great Commission.
Why Mission Matters – Our Path to Maturity
Have you ever wondered why God chose to spread the Gospel through us and not through angels? The answer lies in God’s twofold agenda: He is not only saving people, He is maturing the people He has saved. In His wisdom, God designed our participation in His mission to be the very means by which we grow. Living life on mission with God – laying down our lives for Him and the Gospel (Mark 8:35) – is our pathway to discipleship.
So mission carries a threefold blessing: the lost are saved, the saved are discipled, and God is glorified. Living on mission with God is a win-win-win.
The Lasting Fruit of Kairos
Again and again, Kairos bears fruit that outlasts the course itself:
- Transformed worldview. Participants have their eyes opened to the unreached peoples of the world and discover their own responsibility to reach them.
- Mobilized churches. Congregations move beyond a narrow, local focus to pray, give, send and go for God’s global mission.
- Multiplied mobilizers. Many graduates become facilitators themselves, carrying the vision on to new churches and cities.
- Unity across the Church. Believers from different denominations labour together, forging lasting partnerships for the Great Commission.
- A heart for the unreached. Above all, Kairos keeps the Church’s eyes on those who have never yet heard the name of Jesus.
To God be the glory for every life transformed, every church awakened, and every mission launched through the Kairos Course.
