About KI Strategic Perspectives Conference

 

 

The Annual Strategic Perspectives Conference in the U.S. provides KI members an opportunity to get informed and get updated on the Issachar discipline of understanding the times we live in.  KI tracks a number of biblical strategic trends relating to the end times and encourages its members to study and monitor these and other emerging trends so they can become better ambassadors to those who seek answers and also be better equipped to edify the church.

 

A trend is something that simply exists and can be identified by an intelligent source.   It is something that can be observed and recorded.  What is Strategic? It is something carefully designed or planned to serve a particular purpose or advantage.

 

What is a Strategic Trend? It is a trend with a purpose, there is some kind of intelligence directing it - either human or supernatural.  Since God knows the end from the beginning and has clued us in on some of these ends in scripture (prophecy), this enables us to see some of the end results first and observe the trends that may lead
