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.
If you feel God leading you in this area of Volunteering please reach out.
Men’s Kairos Leader,
