Kairos Prison Ministry, an international nonprofit organization and leading prison ministry with over 30,000 volunteers announces that Kairos Michael and Kairos Beto will be holding their 60th and 65th Weekends in the Michael Unit and the Beto Unit, meaning that we have been serving right here in the community for over 30 years! These Kairos Inside Weekend will begin on May 2 and May 15 respectively and is a 3 ½ day Weekend that is entirely led by volunteers. It is often said that Kairos offers a front row seat to a miracle!
Hundreds of inmates throughout the years have participated in the 3 ½ day Weekend program which includes a series of talks, discussions, and prayer that creates or continues a desire for spiritual growth. This has enabled Kairos to establish a Christian community inside the prison by bringing the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ to those in darkness. This has resulted in an improved prison living environment, reduced recidivism, a safer community, and countless healed families.
Kairos achieves this impact by being the ministry that keeps coming back through Continuing Ministry. We go back into Michael and Beto for Prayer and Share groups as well as monthly Reunions.
“We are excited to be celebrating our 30 years of bringing light to those in darkness within prison walls at the Michael and Beto Units. Our ministry continues to transform the lives of inmates and volunteers alike and will for many years to come.” Evelyn Lemly, CEO
There are many ways the Texas community can get involved in this and future Kairos Weekends, of which there are generally two per year. Ways to get involved include joining the team that goes into Michael and Beto, as part of the support team, baking Kairos Cookies that are given to participants, creating agape (letters, posters, placemats, banners, prayer chains) which are physical representations of love, prayer vigil participation, and through financial support as each Kairos Weekend is funded by donations and grants.
We would love the opportunity to speak with you about the positive impact that Kairos has made in the community. Please reach out to Scott Baker at scott@stbaker.com or 281-813-0653 and visit www.kairostexas.org to learn more about the important work Kairos does in Texas.
