Kairos Weekend

The Kairos 3 1/2 Day Weekend is the doorway or on-ramp to the in-prison community of believers, called the Kairos Community. During each of two Kairos weekends per year, 42 inmates, which we call "Brothers-in-White", come together with about 30 Kairos Inside and 20 Kairos Supporting Volunteers, and the existing Kairos in-prison ministry leaders; to grow the Kairos Community through teaching, worship, prayer, and an abundance of love. The Weekend discussions include:

• Encountering Kairos -- To reduce anxiety and begin building comfort levels

• Encountering Self -- To understand yourself and your standing with God

• Encountering Christ -- To meet Jesus and the Body of Christ and find forgiveness in Jesus Christ

• Encountering Others -- To begin the process of growing in faith and community with others

For many Brothers-in-White, the Kairos Weekend creates the desire to become Christians or fuels the fire to continue their spiritual growth.

Kairos Instructional Reunion
The weekend is followed by an Instructional Reunion led by the Kairos Inside Volunteers. At the Instructional Reunion the newer members of the Kairos Community coming out of the 3 1/2 day weekend are given guidance, by example, in how to pray and share with fellow believers.

Kairos Prayer & Share
Called the heart of Kairos, this is a weekly gathering of Kairos graduates where they share their personal concerns and have a chance to support each other.

Monthly Reunions
This is a time of worship and teaching whose purpose is to encourage the Kairos community.
