Thirty-five inmates were introduced to the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ during a four day retreat in the institution.  Teaching, prayer, song and fellowship was the agenda for each day.  The transformation among the inmates as well as the fifty volunteers is amazing both to experience as well as to watch.  There were many changed hearts that we were privileged to witness as the Holy Spirit worked to claim souls for Christ.

Part of the retreat includes expressions of Agape love in the form of prayer, personal letters, and cookies.  Each night of the retreat, all 1200 inmates received a bag of home-made cookies  each with a scripture verse.  This raises awareness of Kairos beyond those who participate in the retreat.  Thank you to all who prayed for us, donated money, wrote personal letters and place mats and contributed to the Cookie Ministry.

About 100 inmates participate in monthly reunions.  We volunteers continue to be amazed at the hunger these men have for the Word of God.  The inmates openly share their love of God in very hostile surroundings.  It is a powerful witness to their commitment.
