Kairos Outside Wide Bay Capricorn
About Us
Kairos Outside for Women has a catchment area that runs from Gympie to Rockhampton in Queensland. We began the initial committee back in 2006 in Bundaberg – Dee and David Holt sold their house and bought a pink bus and travelled all around Qld and NSW spreading news about Kairos Prison Ministry. They settled in Bundaberg to see if there was any interest in supporting the Kairos Outside program – and there was.
Our Regional Committee meets by Zoom each month and is made up of volunteers that live in towns from Bundaberg, Gladstone, Gympie, Hervey Bay, Maryborough, Yeppoon, Rockhampton and Mackay. Due to the distance and spread of the area we cover, there are 7 core areas that run fundraising events, monthly get togethers and give presentations to churches and groups that inform the community of what we do.
Our goal is to provide support for women living in the Wide Bay Capricorn region who have, at any time in their lives, experienced the challenges associated with having a friend or family member in prison. Support for Guests begins with a weekend at a beautiful venue in which they are able to connect with other women who have been through similar experiences. This support continues through regular reunions and opportunities to network in smaller local groups.
To date, a total of around 250 Guests have attended Kairos Outside Wide Bay Capricorn weekends that are held twice each year. The greatest challenge for Kairos Outside Wide Bay Capricorn leaders is how to make this unique ministry of love, hope and support more widely known – and how to attract new team members to commit to this amazing God-given ministry. We have now held 15 guest weekends that have shown women the love and acceptance of Jesus Christ. The weekend programs are a vital part of what Kairos Outside is about, but the continuing support through our monthly get togethers are the real strength of how we support each other in a regular and constant way.
