Lunch Fellowship at Sin Manli Restaurant
Sin Manli Restaurant at Aman Puri
This is one of our favourite restaurants for our lunch fellowship.
Had a lunch fellowship with Pastor Lim Wai Ming from Kaki Bukit Perlison 11 July 2010 after church service.
Pastor Lim Wai Ming in his pastoral suit sat between Elder Philip Chieng and brother Francis Kerk
Besides steamed fish head our usual dishes would include fried eggs, pig stomach soup, tofu, bak kut teh and vegetable.
Sin Manli is "famous" for steamed fish head which is highly recommended by our Stanley Tan.Its core business is supposedly bak kut teh.

KAIROS is an exciting 9 lesson, interactive course that looks at our world from "God's perspective". The KAIROS 'journey' explores the Purpose and Plan of God from Genesis to the End of the Age! KAIROS will inspire, motivate and mobilize you and your local church to explore the challenging, yet achievable, final frontiers of Christian world mission and to identify your part and place in the growth and expansion of God's kingdom worldwide.
KAIROS can assist you in understanding some of the questions facing God's people today. Such as: "How can we respond to living in the expanding multi-ethnic, multi-cultural towns and cities of today?" "The unreached and least reached have come to our 'doorstep' in increasing numbers. Could this be a part of God's strategy?" "How can we partner and work with the increasing numbers of missionaries coming to our country from other nations of the world?" "How can churches, mission agencies and other organizations work together effectively?" "What are 'senders', 'mobilizers', 'welcomers', 'intercessors', or 'goers'? KAIROS will help equip you with tools to take back to your church and impact you with God's heartbeat for the lost.
KAIROS can be done in a number of ways. You can run KAIROS as a 5 day course, over 4 Saturdays, over 3 weekends, for 9 weeks, or over a combination of evenings and full days. The KAIROS material can be used for basic fieldwork, mentoring and adapted as part of the immediate preparation for short-term mission teams. The KAIROS course concludes with a focus on teamwork and integration of what a person has learned during the course. Once you have completed KAIROS you may want to become a course facilitator yourself! KAIROS facilitators come from many different backgrounds and professions.

SUMMARY:
The KAIROS Course can be done in several ways. First, there is the 5 day Intensive where you do 1-3 sessions a day combining weekends, nights and days, or 5 regular work weekdays, etc. Another way is to do KAIROS by having a class on Friday night, 2 on Saturday, 1 one Sunday afternoon for 2 weekends - plus working in the 9th session near the end. There is also the standard way of doing KAIROS over a period of 9 weeks. A fourth avenue you can use is doing 4 Saturdays of 2 sessions each and then schedule in the 9th session wherever it fits best. You get the picture...be as creative as you need to be, check out alternatives, discuss it with us if you want, and then just do KAIROS! We want to get KAIROS into your hands as quickly as we can!
Each KAIROS session is about 21/4 to 21/2 hours in length. Every participant receives a Reader, Group Prayer Guide featuring major religions and bloc of the world population. One page Worksheets are used to reinforce main points of each lesson, and handouts tailored to your particular group. In all, there are 7 main components to a KAIROS Experience. Each session is composed of a short time of worship along with devotions and prayer centering on God, you, people groups and missions. There are informative introductions to each lesson given by the KAIROS facilitators. Participants come together in Growth Point Groups of 5-6 individuals who gather to discuss and share insights and questions from each lesson. The CWMC uses Video/DVD lectures by leading missiologists and relevant DVD case studies. There are optional activities such as cross cultural games that can be run as a generic exercise or structured and tailored to your particular group of participants. In addition to this, KAIROS offers you a contextualized worship service modeled after a Muslim background believer's house church gathering. Additional DVDs covering a wide range of mission activity, special speakers you might want or short local field trips are optional and may add to the overall cost of the course.
Another attractive feature of KAIROS is that it is very affordable (currently $55 USD per student in America for standard Kairos) KAIROS can be used as a "stepping stone" to the larger more academic "Perspectives Course", or as a follow up course to share some of what you have learned with people who are not yet ready to commit to a longer course. KAIROS is great as a mobilization tool and entrance level course into missions or as part of the basic training for short term mission teams going to other nations and cultures. Portions of the KAIROS experience can be adapted to fit into Bible studies, Sunday school classes, home fellowships and more.
When you take KAIROS we also offer "Certification" where you may become a KAIROS facilitator and run your own KAIROS training, multiply facilitators, etc. This is offered at no additional cost for those who successfully complete the KAIROS Course. KAIROS is offered internationally in several languages and other new translations are nearly completed. The cost for doing a CWMC in developing nations is less than in developed countries (inquiries are welcomed).
KAIROS is part of the "Perspectives Family" of mission courses that contain some of the "core values" held by a large consortium of leading missiologists. If we can assist you with information, or you would like us to arrange KAIROS for your group contact us at Unreached Nations, Inc. (626) 296-7699 or email us at: craig.prest@uscwm.org
