  • Friendship with God is a free gift, for God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
  • The love of Jesus Christ motivates His followers to provide food for the hungry, drink to the thirsty, welcome to the stranger, clothes for the naked and visits to the sick and those in prison.
  • In sharing the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ with all incarcerated individuals, their families and to those who work with them inside and outside the correctional institution.

“I was prayed for by people who didn’t know me and that made me feel so special!”

Participant

God has led me on a path of service and ministry I could not have imagined, nor could I have met the most beautiful souls in my Christian journey, such is the impact of being used by a God who goes before us and plans our future, and all we have to do is ...say “yes”!
I joined Kairos in 1997 and the experience has encouraged me to be on 14 more teams, and still “going strong” as we minister to “the boys in green”. Bringing Christ’s love, through song, food and our loving community of faith. That truly changes people’s lives on both sides of the fence!
I originally joined Kairos because I was asked by a Christian friend to help in a course being run at the prison nearby. I thought this would be a great challenge for me and my belief in God’s grace if people turn to Jesus.
A clergy friend invited me to join Kairos when I retired from full-time ministry. The ministry encounter for me lives out the “bare bones” of the Gospel highlighted through the blessings shared as we listen to the genuine openness of men searching for a hopeful purpose in their lives.
