My Family in Christ,

Because of you concern and love for me and my incarcerated Brothers, we really got a chance to experience God's love first hand.  I must say that I was truly blown away by everything said and done on our behalf.

There is really not any way to express my love and gratitude to you.  All I can say, is that you have found yourself a brother in Christ FOREVER!

I'm truly believing that the Lord will overwelmingly bless you until you can't be blessed anymore.  You are constantly in my heart and prayers

This weekend has been a tremendous weekend for me.

My Sponsor _________ has been a real pleasuer to get to know and I appreciate him dearly.  My outside sponsor ________ has also been a real uplift fo rme.  She MUST know how much I love the food because she and all the other women have TRULY BLESSED  me.

For the first time in a long time I know that people on the outside love us and treat us like human beings not like animals.  GOD HAS BEEN HERE! He ahs opened my eyes and pushed the scales away.  This weekend has put me on my knees for the first time in I don't know how many years  It has been a priveledge for me to be here and I can't wait to be will you again next Saturday.  All the team member, I LOVE YOU ALL  and I know I will see you all in heaven.  God loves you all, and I love you all, not as a Black man or an African American brother, but as a Brother in Christ I didn't know that was possible!

You have made this Kairos weekend the most important time in my life.   Because of you love and support I've made up my mind to follow Christ.  I know that this decision to walk the right and narrow road want be easy, but I now have a loving Kairos family to love and encourage me if I fall along the way, they will pick me up.

This weekend has been a blessing God has shown me His love through my Kairos family. I am a new creator in Christ and my life will never be the same

I want to thank you for caring and loving me  May God bless you.

How can I not but say Thank God that used you all to bring this wonderful experience into my life.  I have never and I mean never exprience nothing like this. I excepted my Lord's challange to follow in his path.  I've worked the Devils works with zest but I will gladly and lovingly follow my Lord and Savior now and ever.

I want to thank you with all my heart for loving a wrench like me and praying for me.  I've know a mother's love cause it's a requirement and I've known a kid's love cause they know no better.  But I've never known love just cause ....  I will never forget this weekend and for all wonderful people - Thank you I love you.  I have a special thanks to a boy named well he knows cause God is already rewarded him.  I have shed  a lot tears because of him.  May our Lord watch over all and keep you safe.

I can not begin to express my feelings for these last four days...  There is so much agape love that it has melted my heart forever more...  

This is a letter to say that where ever you are now, it is the right "Choice for Yourself & God"  The "Friendship with God" is awesome to say the least...

In closing this short letter, this life from now on will be absolutely wonderful... I have come "HOME" to stay

To the Sponsors, God bless you .  When I first came to Kairos, I was totally blind to what Kairos was all about.  As I went on, I became to witness miriacles happening in my life as well as others.

I received a special gift through out this program.  I wish to continue with an open heart and an open mind.  I know y'all are not wanting thank you's, but I must say myself, I highly appreciate everything that I have received in my walk with the Lord

First I really enjoyed God's love this weekend  It has been a moving exprience by all measures.

I am 34 years and have been in a world full of many things of which hate was a major part, for 12 years.  I now have 50 days left till released.  If you could I could use your prayer adn guidance from God.

I'm not all sure what is to be expected from me, I can catch just a glimpse of what agape is, unbelievable to impossible from my life experiences!

At any rate I will always love those who allowed God to move them to make this experience a possibiltiy.  My thanks to God!  Have a great life, and if I don't meet you on here on earth, perhaps thanks to Kairos you will bump into me in heaven

Words will not be enough to express what I want to say.  I thank God for sending YOU to be with me.  I came to the walk expectiong great blessings and miracles.  I am receiving much more than I planned, my cup runneth over.

A miracle, though a strange one, that my fear of speaking in public, has disappeared.  I pray that I use the new found miracle and the love I have received to serve God, and to be a good servant also.

Please let all the little people, those young ones, that Jesus' love has been received from you.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart and may God Bless you all.

I ___________ come to inform each and everyone of you what I have gotten out of Kairos this weekend.

First of all I was already a child of God before this.  But I have been seeking to find the Holy Spirit in my walk and I have found it, and he has shown me a better light than I have imagine.  On Thursday before I started Kairos I had gotten a letter form my grandmother.  Stating they are praying for me,  And then Kairos starts and I find myself praying for others, just as I find out others are praying for me.  But threw out this whole weekend the guy that I prayed for gave his life to Christ  Now that showed me of the Spirit that I have been seeking.  I am gonna continue my walk for Christ in a better and stronger fashion.

I had a good time in the Lord.  I had a lady pray for me for reading skills to improe and God has answered her prayer my reading skills have improve.  I read five letters yesterday.  

Yesterday I exprienced God's love all over the place. I didn't know what love was all about.  I didn't know so many people loved me or how to love them.  Now I do and I thank God.

I want to share with you what Kairos # 5 has meant to me.  First of all, let me say that I thought that I knew all I had to know about the Lord's agape love.  I found out that I had not even begun got scratch the icing from the cake.  Beginning  with the first day of Kairos and increasing each day I saw Christ's agape love manifested in the Brothers of Color and also the Brothers in White.  I say the love of Christ soften and expose the heart of a man who openly admitted that "the only reason I'm at Kairos it to indulge in the food and for no other reason"  I was a hard and selfish man.  By Sunday morning I was the first to come forward and denounce Satan and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.  This was fantastic.

The experience in Kairos I've shared with my brother in white as well as my free world brothers will be an experience I will cherish for many years to come.

I never expected so much love from people form the outside; and the love of my Lord Jesus Christ: is way beyond my understanding:  I would have never realized this fact if it had not been for Kairos fellowship

It has been an awesome joy to receive all this love this weekend.  My heart has been blessed to see fellow inmates crumbel down to crying babies from pure unconditional love that you have shared with us this weekend.  This is a experience that I will never forget.  If we all died together this day I would have not regreats.  All of us are family & it would be a blessing to see Jesus face to face this day with my brothers & sisters in Jesus.

I could gon on & on sharing my joy with you in this letter.  I hope that the whole world can see the love of Jesus shining in me ever more.  We will live together for all times at the end.  I'm thankful for have such a big family

Love Ya

Why I cam to Kairos, so I could have a spiritual awaking with God.  And I received that this weekend and much more.  I thought I understood real love but this weekend was truely the best love I ever had.  I know you said that you don't want thanks but I thank God for putting the Spirit in you to love me.

This weekend has brought me closer to God and I will remember this for the rest of my life, the mail was great from people all over the world from kids who don't even know me that's truely the love of God.  The food was great but all the love I shared was better.  God bless my brothers and sisters in Christ and I'll pray for you every night for ever.

Thanks for sharing God's love with me!!!! I have been truely blessed this weekend, I came to the walk saved, but with walls in my life that kept me from growning closer to the Lord.  Praise God the walls came down, my eyes have been opend, and my Spirit and commitment to follow Jesus has been renewed.  This has been a life changing time in my life, and I beleive it was God's timming.  I knew God had something for me, I had no idea it would be this great.  I've been show who I am in Christ and been given direction in what God is calling me to do, It's to witness of his mighty love and forgivness to others, some might say just a plain humble servent, I say a might soldier and a man of God!  I see my self worth and I see in others what God  seen in me, a sinner looking fro a better way, God's way.  This weekend has shown me all of this and much more.  I  praise God and give him all Glory.  Thank all of you for being obedient to God's calling in your life.  I love you all in Jesus.

I don't want to start of by saying THANK YOU for the past weekend instead I will tell you of all the beautiful blessings I have received and witnessed here.  Yes I said, here in prison, there have been many a wonderful thing occur over this special Kairos walk.  It has honestly made me enjoy being in prison for the first time in almost 9 years.  I've been blessed with more love true agape love than ever before  by the Kairos people whom I do know embrace as FAMILY we are all one under God's love!  You made this possible - noone a words could ever repay the const of sacrifice on your end or these wonderful people here - Oh yea there is a repayment:  God's love and wonderful blessing that abound freely from the experience!!  I am a sinner - the worst of the worst - but I've been made a believer and this weekend's experience has made me re-committ my life and love for my savior Jesus Christ Amen!  In closing I will faithfully continue my walk with this ministry and I give you my word now to climb this mountain even when I'm a free person again oneday. You have helped me see true love - I want to share it with other brothers and sisters.  May God bless you my friend.

I am not very good with words!  It's hard for me to explain what this weekend has meant to me.  You know some walk slower than others so it might take a while to reach some goals.  Regardless the slow walker still get there.

I seem to have a lot more than one wall but I have seen a hand thru the wall to help me make that start and that hand was from a letter of a 8 year old little girl.

The walls will Fall, it just going to take a little time!!!

They said not to thank you but I do really appreciate this opportunity.  Thank You!!

I Love you

I have truly been blessed this weekend.  I walked in a little tight with fear and still not knowing what to expect.

As the minutes turned to hours and the hours into the completion of a day I had opened my heart and let these people here sent by God to reach me.

The opportunity that I've had this weekend will surely last a lifetime.  There is just so much love that I received this weekend that I can honestly say, I feel that I've been chosen by God to pass it on to someone back to the men in white that live with me each day.

I had a table sponsor here from your church that was very positive and calm with his approach.  He helped me survive this weekend.  Larry was sent by you through God and he touched my heart.  Something that many, many other's have attempted to do, but did not succeed.

I promise that I will continue to grow spiritually and will obey all God's laws.

Praise and glory be to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

The Kairos walk is an expreience I will never forget.  I have learned so much this weekend and now I as God to give me the strength to use the tools given to me.

There was two things that really meant so much:  This weekend has restored my hope and most of all is I learned what AGAPE  love really is.  It touches me deep down to know I have yall out there that love me so much but even better Jesus loves me & was willing to die for me & you.

I thank God for choosing me to be part of the Kairos family & I truely look forward to our furture group meetings.

Here I send you a few lines in greetings and to let you Kairos has been a very, very beautiful Blessing to me and all of my Brothers in White.  I have not only gained wisdom, peace and understanding but I have truly felt the love of Jesus Christ through these fine & wonderful people and with out your special sponsorship this I couldn't have ever experensed it.  For this I Thank God for people like you who care and love us as you do.  My Love and prayer go out to you.  You have made me a better Person Because of the Great Kairos Program.

May God Bless you as you have blessed me.

Thank you,  I had been truly been running from God (Christ) as I was mad that when I had my heart attack and died I was not allowed to stay where I had visited.  But I had never really  ever experiece , felt the power of someone using the power.  And I felt bad I had attacked the one praying for me.  I know I should not have every attacked because I felt something reaching out that I didn't know what it was/is.  So Thank you my inside sponsor ______  and Thank you ______ and you ________ that was praying for me.  Thank you very much.

I don't know how to express my love for you from God our Savior Jesus Christ.  I know in my heart that God's blessings are upon you and that the Spirit of God's love dwells within you.  So I THANK GOD for you and the Kairos ministry, God's special Time, It was truely a special time in my life.  I just want to say God is love and Love is God and that brings unity of all colors races and demoninations together in Love.  As God the Father God the Holy Spirit and God the Son.  As they are one, we are to be one also, I love you and may God Blessing and Love be upon you all.

I can truely say that we all have been blessed this Kairos week-end.  All of my expectations were met and more, God has been with us from start to finish Showring us with His love.  It's hard to not thank you for t Love you have shown to us through your prayers, finance, and labor of love; I truely thank God for you, and pray that God will Contiue to bless you as you continue in His Service.

I can not began to express the joy and the Love that this weekend Walk has brought to me.  I hope that by sharing the walk with us has also brought God's Love into your live.  Even thought we are here in this prison and you are out there in the free world we will always be one in the body of Christ.  May the blessings of the Lord be bestowed upon you in all these days of your life for what you have done for me and my brothers in white.

The Kairos walk has been an amazing experience for me.  First of all I never knew so many people loved and cared about me that the would sacrifice their time, efforts and money to share the Love of God with me.

I gave my life to Jesus  4 1/2 years ago, but I've never touched the surface of expressing the genuine love of  Christ.  The agape love that I witnessed and partook of showed me just how limited I've been in my extending the love that 1Cor. 13 talks about, in fact I wasn't loving at all.   This experience has been enrichment to my spirit and one that I'll never forget.  The Lord's glory was manifested and He spoke to me concerning His will for my life.  I thank the Lord for His love that has been shed abroad in you r heart by the Holy Spirit,  Be assured that your labor was not in vain,  Hallelujah, Praise the Lord!

Dear Brothers & Sisters of Color!!!

im _____________ and participated in Kairos # 5. I want to thank the Lord for people like you all that take their time in supporting us in white.  For this special moment I my self thought I know what love was for 32 years, but I finally find out what LOVE really is when I oppened up my mail bag and seen and read this particular letter of a kid who had never seen me, but was out there on their knees praying for me that I have a good time in Kairos.  that my fellows in color touched my heart and showed me what Love really was.

I know you don't want my thank you's  but that would be rude of me if I didn't take the time to thank you for all the good foods and drinks , So thank you.

Well I could write and never end on what this has done for me.

I gave my life to Jesus Christ on Aug 14, 1999 ever since I would pray daily OK God I'm your, what do I do?  I don't feel nothing.  How can I share what Jesus has done for me?  Well one of the topics has discovery I discovered a lot of thing one is to be careful for what I pray because he filled me with the holy Spirit I could not stop crying for Joy I also saw he wants me to Love ask for forgivenss tell people Im sorry.  like I said I could go one for ever but I'll jsut say Thank God for you!  I love you!

PS

And Thank God this is just a begining it get better!  All these things I pray God for he revealed them to me in Kairos.  Who ever you are thank you for sharing with me.  I love you again

Hi.  This Kairos weekend has given me an opportunity to share God love with all races, creed, color.  Finding out more about the Kairos program.  I've learn how to forgive, I've learn that i have choices, I've learn im not alone, that i have a friend in God, The Church is the body  and Christ is the head, God can open the door, Discover that the truth will set you free, all these things take action, A Christian life is never done.  Until i made God the ultimate choice in my life never had must purpose or direction.

In conculsion i thank God for blessing me with this Kairos program,  I will keep you in my prayers brother and sisters of Kairos.

First I would like to take time out to think God for Kairos FAMILY.  I can not begin to tell you how much mean to to me to know there is someone out there in the world that care about the bro. in white and want you to  know that your are in our prayers also your family.  I really would like to meet you one day.  These 4 days have been very important to me it have showed me how strong the power of love and I felt that every day I was at Kairos. Well I am going to close for now but just know you will always have my love

I think Kairos is a wonderful experience, for someone like me who has been lost for quite a long time. I have been lost because I did not think there was so much love in Christ. I have never had an experience like this before in my life.

I don't know how to put the words, but I feel like there are people who care about me on the outside. Before I came to Kairos I was by myself, with no one to share my feelings. Now I have so many brothers and sisters in Christ

Your Brother in Christ

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  May His ---- grace and Peace be multiplied to you through His Holy word.  His word is His promise and all His promises are Yes & amen to those who believe.

I know and understand Gods love, however in my 3 years of walking with the Lord, I have never expercence "His" love through "His people."  I have asked God why do our brothers in the outside and on the inside seem so insensitive to each other.  He revealed that its a lack of, His love in our individual lifes expressed towards each other.  Of all the spiritual gifts in Gods word love is the perfect gift and not only that, all His gifts which are good a perfect work through love.

So to all the praise honor and glory, to God the father of our Lord Jesus Christ.  I have witnessed and experienced His love through His people this weekend.  So the Lord Jesus has manifested his glory before my eyes which has strengthed me in my faith in our God

Praise the Lord for His unconditional Love.  He looks past our faults, and spots the goodness, that He made us to accomplish in His name.  Father I thank you that Your word has gone forth and has accomplished that for what you sent it to do.  I thank you Father for your love and I thank you for what I have had to go through to realize this, and to turn from my past ways and walk in your most precious and Holy ways.  In the almighty name of Jesus Christ Amen.

PS

I'm confident that God will finish the good work He has started.  You are in my prayers forever and evermore.  

In Jesus name.

I want you to know that I was deeply moved by the Hughes # 5 Kairos!  I've been touched deeply by what I've witnessed and I can say I am a better person for it.  Before this weekend, I hadn't acknowledged God's power or love for over a decade and I had just about lost hope for all of mankind.  Now I see what I missed all of those years and I am proud to call myself a Christian Brother and will remain true to the Christian family.  I couldn't give my life to Jesus but I found him to be my closest friend!  With a lot of help and my new family, I will continue to walk unitl I can accept Jesus Christ as my Savior.  I ask that you continue to support me with your prayer.  You will be in mine

Lovingly

My Dear fellow laborer in Christ

I would first like to praise God the father through my Lord Jesus Christ for the experience that I have enjoyed this weekend. I would also give Him all the honor for each member of the inside and outside team. It is amazing that each of you have so much love that you find it in your heart to spend time in fellowship with us. I am not a very good writter, or adopt at conveying my fellings. I will say this, I pray that our Awesome God Bless you abudently both spiritually and phusically. I know I am not suppose to say it, but thank you for caring.

God Bless you,

Your loving Brother

This has truly been an amazing weekend for me, more amazing than I could possibly fathom. I haven't cried so much since my wife died 8 years ago. What this weekend has done for me among many things, is to show me a way to forgive God for taking my wife of five years in a tragic accident that literally turned my life upside down. I was a respected military man but after I just didn't care and I soon got in trouble.

I had always blamed God for that, and this blame has been an insurmountable object in my relationship with God. After hearing about forgiveness, Choices, and others, and after hearing tearful testimony, and lastly with personal counseling with ( clergy members on the team) I have been able to overcome that obstacle. This is such a great relief and will allow my spiritual growth to grow. I thank you sincerely, from the bottom of my heart.

I have enjoyed this weekend very much.  I came here a Christian and I leave knowing what that means. 

May God Bless You,

PS Please pray that I grow in my Walk with the Lord

My walk with Kairos was the most warm and fulling reward in my 51 year.  My heart was so full of love I couldn't stop the tear's that fell from my eyes.

I just want you all to know that I will walk with God for the rest of my life and after I hope.

God Bless you all for the love and friendship you shared with.  My heart will always be with you.  A special "God Bless" to the angles that prayed for me through this walk, I actually felt pray.

This weekend has lifted me from my isolation, hatred and hopelessness.  Your love has united me with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  My heart has been rent and exploded and the heaviness lifted from my chest.  I don't have my anger.  The sum of all the words in the language is inadequate to explain what you have done for me.  You have helped make it possible for me to smile again

May the joy and love of Christ remain with you always.

I want to let you know that even know that I gave my life to Jesus Christ a few years ago; and I thought that I know the Lords love for me I let you know that I just have learn about His true love, so you can know what a great contribution you are doing for the Kingdom of God Yahweh; and I encourage you to keep puting saving for you eternal treasure in Heaven.

He is ALIVE in front of our presence and lives

I send you this letter through the Glory and Grace of Jesus Christ!  I wish to let you know that this Kairos weekend has been the greatest experience of my life.  When I came I didn't know what to expect, What I found is more live than I have every known.

What I recieved here is the blessing of Jesus Christ.  That I have forgiven myself and others, so that I may begin to heal, after so many years of guilt and pain.

When I was excepted into the Kairos program I really had no idea of what to expect.  The are thing I've really needed in my life was change, but I didn't know to go about doing something about it.  I was told by some of the other guys who had already made the walk the only thing I could get out of them was that I needed to come in here with an open mind and a open heart, that I did!  let me tell you, this is absolutely the best think that has ever happened to me.  Today I have excepted Jesus Christ into my life, and I want to praise god for this program and for you, my Brothers & , sisters in christ as you and now I are his servants!  

With gods love 

you Baby Brother in christ

I am _________ yes a #_ _ _ _ _ _ number here. But a treasure to Christ.  I know you expect nothing from your suport in leting me attend the Kairos walk number #5 here on the Hughes unit.  So I thanked God, and I asked him to thank you.  He does much better at things like that.  I will just let you know it has be real important to me & will not end here.  It will be a help to others in my path on my journey.  I have been around church all my life but I didn't really go... 

... In here  a while ago I gave my life to Christ and was Babtristed (sorry my spelling needs work) was dipped in water.  I know it was real and I knew I was gladly accepted by Christ.  But I did not really understand much, as to what it meant, and my obligations to the Lord.  ...I am sure God put people in my life to teach me of him.  But they didn't get my attention.  But the Kairos walk has gotten my attention, I know better understand his love for me.  I could go on & on but I don't want to take up more of your time.  God has put Love in my heart, and I know what I am supposed to do with it now.  I will be a blessing to the men in white.
