Kairos Prison Ministry, an international nonprofit organization and leading prison ministry with over 30,000 volunteers announces that Kairos Dick Conner CC will be holding it’s 30th Weekend in Dick Conner Correctional Center, meaning that we have been serving right here in the community for over 15 years!

Our 30th Kairos Inside Weekend will begin on April 20 and is a 3 ½ day Weekend that is entirely led by volunteers. It is often said that Kairos offers a front row seat to a miracle!

Hundreds of inmates throughout the years have participated in the 3 ½ day Weekend program which includes a series of talks, discussions, and prayer that creates or continues a desire for spiritual growth. This has enabled Kairos to establish a Christian community inside the prison by bringing the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ to those in darkness. This has resulted in an improved prison living environment, reduced recidivism, a safer community, and countless healed families.

Kairos achieves this impact by being the ministry that keeps coming back through Continuing Ministry. We go back into Dick Conner CC for Prayer and Share groups as well as monthly Reunions.

“We are excited to be celebrating our 30th Weekend of bringing light to those in darkness within prison walls.

Our ministry continues to transform the lives of inmates and volunteers alike and will for many years to come.” Evelyn Lemly, CEO

There are many ways the Hominy community can get involved in this and future Kairos Weekends, of which there are generally two per year. Ways to get involved include joining the team that goes into Dick Conner CC, as part of the support team, baking Kairos Cookies that are given to participants, creating agape (letters, posters, placemats, banners, prayer chains) which are physical representations of love, prayer vigil participation, and through financial support as each Kairos Weekend is funded by donations and grants.

We would love the opportunity to speak with you about the positive impact that Kairos has made in the community.
