THE PURPOSE OF KAIROS |
 |
Kairos helps establish strong Christian communities among the populations of correctional institutions. This is done through the impact of small, 3-to-5 person share and prayer groups of leaders resident in the institutions. These groups meet weekly to share their lives on a deep spiritual level and to pray for one another, for other residents and staff in the institutions.
Kairos is a ministry of the church
.
.
.
a ministry of the apostles whom Jesus, the Christ, has called into community and sent forth into the environment of the correctional institution. Kairos has been called the best example of the early church in existence today.
The objective of Kairos is to impact the correctional environment through the action of the leaders, as apostles of Jesus Christ, in all areas of human activity in the prison. You can be a part of this movement; it's easier than you think.
Wanted: Kairos Kookies. Cookies are distributed to every resident and staff member during the three-day weekend. These homemade cookies are a tangible and vital expression of Christ's love and witness from the outside Christian community. PCI #14 will need up to 2,000 dozen cookies for the weekend. If you do the math you'll find that we will need 24,000 cookies!
