Welcome to the Central Valley Prison Ministry-Kairos Link
Kairos Links
Thank you for taking a few moments to learn about this amazing and wonderful ministry!
Kairos is an ecumenical ministry that brings God’s Love to the residents in correctional institutions. Through a systematic, structured program, (similar to Emmaus) the residents of Valley State Prison for Women (VSPW) in Chowchilla are given the opportunity to experience a religious renewal and to accept God’s call to a life of Christian witness and service to one another during their stay in the institution and beyond. This is done by volunteers, who have previously been on a Cursillo, Tres Dias, or Walk to Emmaus weekend, sharing the message of Christ’s love.
The most amazing part of Kairos is when we meet women at VSPW on a Friday
night and by Monday night we see such dramatic changes. Women who often
come the first night withdrawn, distrustful, and scared are, by the last
day, praising the Lord and hugging everyone around them. These changes
are what I imagine it was like during the time when Jesus was preaching
and healing people. It’s seeing God move right before your very eyes!
