There are different kinds of gifts,
but the same Spirit distributes them.
-1 Corinthians 12:4
There is a practical way for everyone to help bring the light of Christ into Allred prison. Including you. Or perhaps especially YOU!
Below is a list of the things that need to be done virtually on a year round basis to prepare for the two Kairos-Allred Weekends for which our support team of volunteers trains and prepares diligently.
For specific details and guidelines regarding each of these important contribution categories, please find the information you need in the Volunteer's Guide. (See Forms&Links page for available forms and downloads - or simply contact us by email.
PRAYER: Your prayers are essential to the success of Kairos-Allred Weekends. Prayer is the one ingredient that ensures hearts will be open to His Word and for His will to be accomplished. Please print these on color paper! (Form available.)
COOKIES: Homemade cookies by the hundreds! It's a Kairos brand that expresses God's grace to Kairos-Allred Weekend participants, guards, and administrative staff. (See Cookie Guide.)
LETTERS: Write a short letter to each of the 42 weekend participants to demonstrate the loving presence of the larger Christian community. The impact is truly transforming!
PLACEMATS: At each meal individually created place mats are provided as yet another outreach message of God's love. A great activity for Sunday schools, preschools, children and grandchildren!
POSTERS: These messages of love from the Body of Christ are designed to express the very tangible hope found in Jesus. A scripture, a greeting, or simply a hand print - all are most welcome!
SPONSOR AN INMATE: You can help an inmate come face-to-face with the love of God by financially sponsoring an individual for the weekend. Individuals and groups can help sponsor a new life in Christ.
PURCHASE A MEAL: By purchasing a meal ticket you provide a meaningful reminder that each meal has been purchased by a Christian on the outside as a direct expression of God's love. (Printable form available.)
ATTEND A CLOSING: Come to a Kairos Weekend Closing as a guest and see for yourself how the testimonies of hearts changed by the dynamic power of the Holy Spirit can touch your heart!

INVITE US TO VISIT YOUR CHURCH: We would love to tell the Kairos-Allred story directly to your church. Our select group of public speakers provides a brief and informative addition to any church service!
DONATIONS: Certainly no one will be surprised to discover that a Kairos-Allred Weekend requires donations. We make every penny count - and accountable! - but your individual and corporate financial help is crucial.
