Why does the ministry exist?

We believe spouses, parents, siblings, relatives, and friends of the incarcerated often "do time" right along with those incarcerated. We want to let them know they are not alone and there is a Christian community who cares about them and their needs - particularly unconditional love and support.
This support is demonstrated in a safe environment with Christian people over a 2-½ day weekend retreat. During this weekend, our Guests have a chance to interact with other women who are in similar situations, and learn how to form small support groups, thereby giving them strength to press forward in their life journey. Purpose Statement
The purpose of Kairos Outside is to demonstrate God’s grace and love through Christian support for women who have relatives/friends who are or who have been incarcerated.
