How can you and those within your sphere of influence "visit the prisoner" Jesus spoke of in Matt 25:36? Support Kairos weekend #5 at the Wabash Valley Correctional Facility, which starts October 21st, with these gifts of agape:
-
PRAY – sign up online to pray during a specific time during the weekend. Also pray over any other gifts of agape you may provide!
-
Bake cookies – 48,000 home-baked cookies will be used during the weekend. You MUST follow the given recipe and packing instructions.
-
Create Posters or Placemats – these are especially powerful from children. Include first name and age but NO other info that may be identifiable. ONLY crayons and markers may be used – no glue, glitter, stickers, etc.
-
Write notes – notes for the 42 participants should be handwritten (unless a disability prevents you from writing), short (1-2 paragraphs expressing God's love and your prayers for the offenders), easily legible, signed with first name only with either no envelope or a peel-n-stick envelope if you wish but NOT sealed. These are incredibly powerful as many offenders haven't received mail since being incarcerated.
-
Attend the Closing – there are strict clothing and other regulations that must be followed. If you plan to attend the closing ceremony at 2:30 pm on October 24, you MUST let a team member know before October 14. If your name is not on the gate release you will not be allowed to enter the facility!This is also incredibly powerful for the offenders as it shows God's love "in the flesh" from people that don't even know them.
-
Donate money – it cost $250 per participant to put on the weekend, and the ministry is solely funded by donations. Checks can be made out to "Kairos of Indiana". Cash is also accepted. Donations are tax deductible.
Any physical or monetary gifts of agape may be given to any team member before the weekend starts.
