Kairos Prison Ministry
Kairos is an International Christian Ministry. Kairos Prison Ministry International, Inc. is the parent organization of a body of ministries operating as Chapters that are located in many States and Countries addressing the spiritual needs of incarcerated men, women and children, and to their families and to those who work in the prison environment. Kairos sprang from the Cursillo movement and is supported by Christian volunteers including those from Cursillo and those other movements that consider Cursillo as their root.
Kairos is a ministry of the church... a ministry of the apostles whom Jesus, the Christ, has called into community and sent forth into the environment of the correctional institution. Kairos has been called the best example of the early church in existence today.

Kairos Prison Ministryof Wisconsin
As of September 27, 2011, Kairos Prison Ministry of Wisconsin commenced operating as a State Chapter of Kairos Prison Ministry International, Inc. We will serve in prisons and jails through an agreement with the Warden and Chaplain of each unit. At present, we are in contact with the authorities at several units to identify the facility for our first weekend event.
Over time we will form teams of Christians to serve at additional Wisconsin Department of Corrections Units. When we serve we become guests of the Unit. In time we will accept up to forty-two inmates per weekend, and plan to conduct two weekends per year, in each unit. The selection of residents who are to attend the weekend will be made by DOC officials at each unit.
Kairos encourages the selection of leader inmates, both positive and negative. Many times the participants will include those who are seemingly unlovable but no one is beyond the reach of God's love. Experienced Kairos volunteers have found when God changes the hearts of the residents they have a great influence in the environments of their Unit.
It is our privilege to have the opportunity to introduce them to Jesus and then show them the love He has shown us. With "God's Special Time" they have the opportunity to know the Kingdom of God.
