Kairos Torch
Kairos Torch is a mentoring program for incarcerated offenders, ages 25 and under. The Weekend introduces incarcerated youth to Christian concepts as a means of making better choices for their lives. The Weekend is then followed with an established six month one-to-one weekly mentoring program that encourages the youth to remove their masks and see themselves as God sees them.
Better Together
Better Together™
Better Together is Kairos three programs, Kairos Inside, Kairos Outside, and Kairos Torch working together to impact individuals,
families, and society. Men, women, youth and their families are directly impacted when a person is incarcerated. Relationships are broken and distant,
financial hardships occur, and family dynamics can become non-existent. When an individual participates in one of the Kairos programs, there is a life, behavior, and attitude change that occurs as they experience the transforming love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ. An opportunity for greater renewal can take place when two or more individuals in the family unit attend a Kairos program. As each individual is positively affected by participating in Kairos it impacts the family directly as they see their loved one change and hear of their life changing experience. When the incarcerated adult or youth goes through Kairos Inside or Kairos Torch and the women in their life go through Kairos Outside, they have a positive parallel experience. This builds family relationship and enhances reentry into society. Kairos Outside started because Chaplains saw the incarcerated person change and be ready to reconcile with family members. Kairos Torch began to break the cycle of youth following their parents into prison. Kairos Inside, Kairos Outside, and Kairos Torch are Better Together.
