Hilton Head Hydroponics

H3 was created as an offshoot of the successfull effort to harness the power of volunteers to grow healthy produce for those struggling with food insecurity.  Sometimes it is thought that any food is preferable to none but often we see that ultraprocessed foods and sugary foods and drinks actually make our patients overweight Hypertensive and struggle with diabetes.  This is when helping can actually hurt.  Changing the food supply to offer fresh produce is making a difference and H3 can hopefully continue to harness the power of volunteers to help provide healthy options for our neighbors.

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.
