Kairos Prison Ministry Weekend Update
Dear Church Family,
Thank you for your prayers during for Kairos Prison Ministry Retreat that we participated in. Your prayers supported our team as we provided a 4-day spiritual retreat for 36 men who are incarcerated at the Century Correctional Institution in Century, FL.
During this 4-day retreat, we shared 10 talks on what God has done for us in Jesus Christ and how we are to live as followers of Jesus. We provided worship opportunities that pointed to God’s love. Men experienced Christ’s healing grace. The goal of this retreat was to lead people to faith in Christ and to give the inmates the tools they need to grow as Christians, even in prison. Your prayers made a difference, and people committed their lives to Christ.
We are also grateful for the posters and for the prayer chain that you made. We saw men go up and read the posters, and they were touched by the prayer chain, knowing that people were praying for them.
We understand that some of these men have committed awful crimes, and they are all in prison because they are experiencing the consequences of the choices they have made. However, God wants every person to hear the good news of Jesus Christ no matter who they are or where they are. Your prayers helped us communicate this good news.
In Christ,
Pastor Scott and Curtis Mitchell
