Kairos Prison Ministry Weekend #33

Kairos Prison ministry weekend #32 is behind us now, and 23 men have heard and seen the Love that our God has for them. Some of their lives were changed, and all of them have a lot more thinking to do about the role God plays in their lives. One resident from the weekend said that he read the Bible every day and went to church, but it wasn’t until Kairos that he had the Love of God shown to him! We planted the seed, and God will take it from here!

We are now looking forward to weekend #33 that will take place at the end of September. We are actively seeking volunteers that want to play a part in this life changing ministry as well as churches and congregations that we can share the ministry with in hopes of getting them to pray for and support the Kairos team and community. Please take a look: www.kairostoledo.com  and email sponsorship@kairostoledo.com to get in touch with us! We’re looking forward to hearing from you!!

The Kairos program is a 3 ½ day course in Christianity conducted by a team made up of laymen and clergy in cooperation with the staff at the facility. Twenty-four men will participate in this program that has changed the lives of many who have gone through it. From one of the participants: “I came into the weekend upset, no hope and in pain. I’m taking away peace of mind, joy, and Jesus.” And from Matthew 25:36- “I was in prison, and you visited me.” Continue reading »

The pastor of Grace United Methodist Church, Perrysburg, recently spoke about how Christians are called to serve others. She said that every Christian is considered a “call”-unteer and elaborated as follows:

1) We were Created to serve. “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10

2) We are Called to serve. “And you are also among those Gentiles who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.” Romans 1:6
“There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called.” Ephesians 4:4

3) We are Commanded to serve. “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.” Galatians 5:13 Continue reading »
