Keeping the Main Thing the Main Thing


Agape Guidelines

1 Why Agape?
Kairos is a ministry of passing on the love of God, and Agape plays a
major role in that endeavor. Agape is the love of God, delivered by
God's people. All those gifts of Agape are tangible examples of His
love, passed on by the family of God.

2 Prayer - The Foundation of Agape


The power of those gifts of Agape does not come from the items we
call agape. The power comes from the spiritual significance behind
the gifts. Prayer is the starting point for unleashing that power! Pray
for the community of believers to decide on becoming part of His
message of love.

3 Cookies - Empowering the Community


For many Kairos communities, cookies that are lovingly and
prayerfully made by the Body of Christ are a wonderful example of
Agape. Rather than focusing on your need to gather so many
cookies, focus on the opportunity that Kairos offers to the Christian
community. An opportunity to be part of the "pipeline" that will carry
Christ's living waters directly to the hearts of the residents.

4 Posters - We Are Not Alone!


Posters and place mats put a face on the Body of Christ! Perhaps for
the first time ever, men and women will see the Body of Christ through
the tangible display of posters. Invite everyone you can think of to be
part of stepping into the prison through their expression of Christ's
love. Ask Sunday School classes (adult and children), Bible Study
groups, Church organizations (men's and women's groups), weekly
Reunion groups, the Church's office staff - everyone you can think of
can get in on the love giving.

5 Love Letters from God


The personal letters are really love letters from God. Surely, God
uses the hands and hearts of His people to transcribe His messages
of love to a letter for the residents. Remember, it is not our letter, but
a simple, profound message of love and hope that comes straight
from God.

6 Financial Support
God uses Kairos' need for financial support as a way to empower the
Body of Christ. For so many Christians, Jesus' call to visit the
prisoner is beyond imagination. They just can't see how to respond to
Jesus. Then, you open the door fro them to be part of God's family to
visit the prisoner on behalf of Christ. Asking for financial support isn't
about underwriting the cost of a Kairos, it is about providing an
opportunity for responding to Christ's call to all Christians.
