Kairos Update

Hi my favorite church!


Recently got home from being a part of Kairos #25 at Ross Correctional. It was an amazing experience. God showed up and started changing people's lives! 
Thanks SO MUCH FOR ALL THE PRAYERS AND COOKIES!!! You guys are the best! Word got around that I needed some cookies and I am at prison now with 60 dozen cookies that you ALL helped with. Thanks so much! God is good! You are good.  I am pretty hooked into doing more of this Kairos ministry.You know that the fields are white and ready for harvest right? (Jn 4:35). Well in Kairos ministry, these men are hurting. These men are ready for some life change. The fields are white and the harvest is literally falling off the plants. All we do is bring the Gospel and bring our servant attitudes. 
The Kairos weekend is set-up for success. It has been field tested and edited to a science. We know this because it works! We do not try to fix something that is working. God is using Kairos. People are coming to Christ through Kairos. We are just God's instruments. God really worked even just within those 4 days that this Kairos team was at RCI. We now desire to pray for these men, that they will be able to continue their walk with Christ in this institution. They are the church of Christ. They are the community of change at RCI. They are the church! Together and with Christ all things are possible. Even within the walls of the dark prison blocks they can live for Christ! So please pray for them. 

This was truly an amazing experience for me for a number of reasons. First I saw gang members find Jesus. Instead of living for themselves, they now want to live for Christ!!!!! It was so powerful. Second, I got to meet and work in the back room with some of the leaders of this lay ministry. There are some amazing men living for Christ. That alone was so encouraging. I just wanted to eat up every word of wisdom I was hearing from these godly men. 
Third, God was there. That was where I wanted to be, in a place I could feel the presence of the Lord! 
Thanks. Lots of love,

Alex
