If you have a friend who is interested in coming to the Reunion to see what Kairos is about in real time, let me know. They must be TDCJ Volunteer approved and trained and added to our team list, and I expect the team member who takes the new person inside will stay by his side in case he freaks out.
Here is what Danny wrote about last Saturday's reunion.
While conducting the first team meeting for #26, two other volunteers, Jack & Danny joined 55 men at the prison for their monthly reunion. As usual, it was very well organized and lead by Kairos graduate Mr. Matthew. Theme of the reunion was discipline and Jack, gave a rousing talk on this subject which was very well received by the attendees. Eight or ten of the men were called upon for testimonials as to what they got out of the Kairos program. These are always amazing as more than one of the presenters talked about how they have taken the learning to their families during visitations and writing correspondence and they can see how it is helping their families, too. I shared with one of the big burly fellows who gave one of these talks about recognizing what he is doing. I let him know that was discipleship at it best, as he learned, practiced and taught others and this is the way the wave goes. As always, the inside music team did a magnificent job with setting the pace and atmosphere. They had me wishing I could get them up to one of our contemporary services at church.
All in all, Saturday was a great day for Connally Kairos.
