Kairos Prison Ministry International is a worldwide prison ministry serving in more than 16 countries.

Glenn Rannick, member of GFC and part of the Kairos ministry since 2007, shares his insight on how God worked during the 44th Kairos Weekend.

42 Residents, 31 Outside Team members, 15 Inside Team members, and 1 God!

The weekends are all incredible. Talk about changing lives, the difference between Thursday evening and Sunday afternoon is astounding! 

A special thanks to: 

  • Grace Fellowship Church for its ongoing support, and in furnishing 211 dozen cookies.
  • Those volunteering to pray, and those being a part of the round the clock prayer vigil.
  • Those who supported Kairos financially.

As I mentioned above, the weekend was astounding ….. below are a comments from the Residents at closing on God’s impact on them during the weekend.

  • Even though I have a life sentence, this weekend doesn’t feel like I’m in prison
  • I got a life sentence at 18 years old, and now I’m 36 and for the first time since being incarcerated, I feel like a whole person (BTW, Jeff is a gang leader and we also arranged for his brother to join him on the weekend.   His brother had a felony arrest just so the brothers could spend time together)
  • I’m now much better equipped to minister to my father who is 4 cells away
  • The cookies were outstanding and once I ate one, I had to eat the whole dozen in one seating
  • The Prayer Vigil was so powerful when I explained it to my 12 year old daughter, she got her whole church praying for the Kairos weekend
  • Everyone was connected in Kindness and having gratitude.   You just don’t see that in prison. 
  • The food was incredible, just like my grandmother made for us
  • I wish y’all could come back tomorrow and start another Kairos weekend
  • The Holy Spirit touched me in the Prayer Room and I started balling like a baby
  • K44 has given me more hope than I’ve ever had to become the man God wants me to be
  • I’ve never had so many AWESOME cookies, thanks to everyone who made them
  • I never imagined that the Holy Spirit could be so powerful and evident in almost everyone in the room
  • The Prayer Vigil, Prayer Chains, Place Mats, Cookies, Posters and that everyone was praying for us was overwhelming!
  • The Cookies and Food were Spectacular!
  • Thank God for brothers that can talk about their fears.   We are made strong in our weaknessI
  • I wish this place could stay like this forever!
  • I’m not wound up on coffee, this is all about the Holy Spirit descending on us this weekend
  • The cookies remind me to stay connected to God!
  • It feels like we’re free
