Kairos Outside
Vision
A Community Spiritually Freed from the Effects of Imprisonment
Reaching all Impacted by Incarceration, Through the Love, Hope,
and Faith Found in Jesus Christ.
Mission
The mission of the Kairos Prison Ministry is to share the transforming
love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ to impact the hearts and
lives of incarcerated men, women and youth, as well as
their families, to become loving and productive citizens of their communities.
Kairos Outside is one of three focused ministry outreaches provided by Kairos Prison Ministry International designed to support the wives, mothers, sisters, daughters and female relatives of men and women who are or have been incarcerated. Kairos Outside creates community and provides a safe environment for women who have been affected by incarceration to interact and draw support from women in similar situations. We believe that the women related to the incarcerated are “doing time” right along with their loved ones. We want to let them know that there is a Christian community who cares about them and their needs. The Kairos Outside weekend retreat will provide an opportunity to not only explore one’s relationship with God, but to also experience a time of fun, music, great food and community.
