John Tamborski does some amazing work with Kairos and he has a special invitation for you
An Invitation to The Closing
Inmates are introduced to KAIROS through a four day weekend experience. Over the four days they listen to a series of talks and engage in discussion with five other participants in ‘family’ groups of six. At the end of the four days, early Sunday afternoon, we gather the families for a final time to end the weekend. The participants meet in the chapel and wait while we tell them we are waiting for the warden or somebody important. But when the doors to the chapel open, an anonymous group of Christians they have never met before arrive to welcome them into the church. With 36 participants, it is awesome if the Christians they have never met outnumber them! We introduce these guests as a group and let the participants know this is a sample of the church which prays for them, is a link on the prayer chain, and welcomes them in the Love of Christ. The participants then get up by family and individually to talk about their weekend experience
If you are able to join this anonymous group, you can register to attend by filling out a couple of forms required by the Department of Corrections. The closing will be held on Sunday October 27th, likely around 1:30 or 2:00. On my trips to Buena Vista I generally plan on a two and a half hour drive. The drive itself is very beautiful, but it is long. I would suggest that four people travelling in the same vehicle would allow for some great conversation.
