Kairos Prison Ministry

Kairos Brings God’s Light into the Darkness of Prison

The prison environment is a dark place, where prisoners face violence, anger, gangs and loneliness daily.

Kairos Prison Ministry volunteers step into this darkness to hold a 3 ½ day weekend, with the majority of participants made up primarily of negative leaders within the prison. Through talks, discussions and Chapel meditations prisoners learn that they are worthy of God’s love, light and grace. That no matter who they are or what they have done, God forgives them.

When a former negative or gang leader accepts Christ, it can influence the very atmosphere of a prison for the better. As the Kairos Christian community inside a prison grows and begins to gain influence, the incidence of violence often decreases.

Nominated by David Burke. EIN#59-1970458

The Children’s Center check presentation

Once the Men and Women Who Care select a local charity to award our quarterly distribution, we always have the organization return to share how our donation helped the group achieve their vision.

In the process, we try to gather people from our group as well as the charity for the presentation of the big check. When timing combined with the organizations facility, we have the opportunity to present the check at the site of the organization.

The Children’s Center provided a great opportunity for the Men and Women to support and a wonderful place to visit and appreciate what the Children’s Center is doing for our community.

A few of the Men and Women attended participating in the tour. We were walked through classrooms, playrooms, the kitchen and the playgrounds.

What we saw was a love for children and their development. In addition to giving to those helping others, if you are one that yearns to hold toddlers, the Children’s Center would welcome you to visit and operate a rocking chair. If interested, give them a call.
