Brian Kim, founder and president of Kairos University in Tustin, was the speaker at the LW America First Republican Club meeting. Kairos is a faith-based university that offers everything from basic theology and general education courses to a PhD in global leadership. Kairos is accredited by the top two agencies that accredit theological schools in the U.S. All classes are offered both live and online. It is officially a campus of American Evangelical University located in the Los Angeles area.
Kairos University has a 90% graduation. Each class meeting begins with a word of prayer. The cost for auditing is $250 for each course. Many of the students are pastors who want to improve their theological knowledge.
“Kairos was built on finding the mind of God,” Kim said. “The average age of Kairos students is about 40.”
Kim discussed how 24 years ago he started a software company. When it failed, at age 31, he was broken in spirit and broke financially. In 2004, he invested in mines in Mongolia, a poor country that is rich in mineral wealth that places it at number five in the world in tin production. He moved to Mongolia in 2009 for 10 years to oversee his investments. During this time, he was betrayed by his attorney who tried to take over the company.
The America First Republican Club meets on the third Wednesday of each month in Clubhouse 3, Room 2, at 5 p.m. for snacks and socializing, and the presentation begins at 5:30.
The club booth near Clubhouse 6 is open the first Monday of the month from 11 a.m.-2 p.m.. Residents can sign the Protect Kids of California, register to vote, change their party affiliation, or enjoy pleasant conversation.
