Kairos Weekend 2011
Kairos Weekend is always a very special and important time of year for us in Europe. It is the time when students from all across the continent (and some from even further) gather for three days.
The theme of the weekend this year was vocation. Guest speaker Martin Steinbereithner (a full time missionary with the Sword of the Spirit) spoke to us of the need today to both seek a call and to respond to it.
Exhorting us that ”there is no shortage of vocations in the world today – merely a lack of response” the message was challenging and inspiring.
A blur of workshops, sports, meals, and the in-famous soul food café - where (among other things) Polish polkas, Belfast dramas and Scottish team games of dubious origin were on offer for a cut price deal – rounded out the weekend.
Hearing a call is one thing, finding a way to answer is another. We have found in Kairos that our times of worship together are often the place where we are most united, most challenged and ultimately transformed gaining the courage to make decisions for on-going discipleship as we return home.
Through bringing this group of people together, the work of many individual Kairos outreaches throughout our region is built, while the vision of international student community is made a reality for a few short days.
