Kairos Torch
For Youth in Prison
Kairos Torch program goals are accomplished through the vehicle of a Christian 2 ½ day program, which is followed by a continuing ministry that includes weekly one-on-one mentoring of the youth by Kairos volunteers and monthly group Reunions with the Kairos community.
Participants need a place where they can be themselves and are accepted. Kairos Torch shows Participants it is safe to make friends and the importance of positive support groups, as well as how to form support groups themselves.
Groups (as opposed to gangs) give the Participants new options by opening their lives up to a variety of meaningful opportunities.

Who is Kairos?
Kairos Prison Ministry Australia is an interdenominational Christian ministry reaching out to incarcerated individuals, their families and those who work with them; to bring sustainable meaning and hope in the place of loneliness, isolation and despair.
Kairos is building Christian Community in response to the challenge issued by our Lord Jesus “I was in prison and you visited me” (Matt 25:36) to share with inmates and their families the unconditional love of God. To enable a vision of the abundant life that a relationship with Jesus gives.
Kairos is a ministry where volunteers work together as the body of Christ and set aside denominational differences to serve together and to embody the true meaning of church.
