What Kairos
Graduates are Saying... |
|
"I didn't
have a mustard seed before Kairos and now I've
got a tree!" "I've
locked myself up for the four years that I've
been here. I went to church regularly but I
was chasing a distant savior. In Kairos,
I discovered that He is in me." "It's
a shame I had to come to prison to find out
what Christianity is all about." "One
thing I'm taking with me (from Kairos) is
forgiveness...for me and my father." "I
came full of hate and resentment. I'm
going out (of the Kairos weekend) with love, a
new Spirit...Christ within me." |

The
only reason for canceling a reunion is when the yard is
“down”. Otherwise, plan on it happening. To
verify that a particular yard is “up” for the reunion,
call 619-661-6500 ext. 6683. That is the number for the
staff entrance, and someone is always there, and they should
be able to confirm “regular” program or controlled
movement for each yard. It is important that you
identify yourself as a Kairos Volunteer.
