Sorry I have not been at church to promote this myself, but I was in NY for Jesus Culture one week, sick the next week and am helping a new church lead worship today.
I have a need that you can help me with. Aug. 2nd-5th I will be serving inmates at the Pickaway Correctional Institution during their first ever Kairos Prison Ministry Weekend.
" Kairos" is Greek for "God's Special Time." This weekend retreat is a special time for 36 inmates at PCI. Those of you familiar with the Emmaus Walk. Kairos ministry came out of the same group that does the Emmaus Walk. This is an extended Emmaus Walk for those in prison. Our main goal is to show these 36 men, what God's unconditional love looks like.
How you can help:
1. Prayer. Pray for the inmates, the institution, the ministers and the chaplain.
2. Bake cookies. I need as many cookies as you can possibly bake! 150 dozen cookies per minister! Through-out the weekend we give out cookies to the inmates. I need these the week of July 22nd-27th! NEXT Sunday and all week, next week!!!!!
3. Sponsor an inmate. It costs Kairos about $250 per inmate to do this non-profit ministry. If you cannot go, you can still do God's work by donating "Green Agape," which is cash.
4. Sunday School teachers/Preschool teachers (and moms) have the children create place mats and posters, that really help set the stage and environment inside of a usually unappealing prison facility.
I need all the help I can get! Sorry for my busy schedule and last minuet essence of this. I will be there next week.
Thanks so much for your time, considerations, prayers, cookies, placemats/posters and donations,
In Christ,
Alex Dolin
