Bank Account

A 92-year-old, well-poised and proud man, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o’clock, with his hair fashionably coiffed and shave perfectly applied, even though he is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today. His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready.

Toledo Prays

Kairos Prison Ministry Weekend #33

Kairos Prison ministry weekend #32 is behind us now, and 23 men have heard and seen the Love that our God has for them. Some of their lives were changed, and all of them have a lot more thinking to do about the role God plays in their lives. One resident from the weekend said that he read the Bible every day and went to church, but it wasn’t until Kairos that he had the Love of God shown to him! We planted the seed, and God will take it from here!

We are now looking forward to weekend #33 that will take place at the end of September. We are actively seeking volunteers that want to play a part in this life changing ministry as well as churches and congregations that we can share the ministry with in hopes of getting them to pray for and support the Kairos team and community. Please take a look: www.kairostoledo.com  and email sponsorship@kairostoledo.com to get in touch with us! We’re looking forward to hearing from you!!
