WHY EKI TRAINING OBJECTIVE of EKI TRAINING “To enable all Kairos volunteers to understand deliver the mission of Kairos within the boundaries of KPMA as described within approved policies and manuals. ” 1 – p 6 9

WHY EKI TRAINING AIMS for the WEEKEND To pursue an understanding of the philosophy and essentials of the Kairos ministry – The Why (ethos) and the How (methodology). To clarify the principles and practices underlying the delivery of a Kairos program, including the Short Course and the Continuing Ministry. To introduce support resources, including Ezra. 1 – p 6 10

KAIROS LEADER'S PRAYER Lord, grant that we may understand the necessity for depth in Kairos, rather than surface luster. Convince us of the truth that it is not colourful moments, but your presence which bears fruit. Multiply, O God, the self-sacrificing souls among us who know how to give everything for your cause: our time, our faculties, our health and even our lives, if necessary. 11

KAIROS LEADER'S PRAYER (continued) Instill in us boldness in our initiatives, good judgment in our choices of the right means and that courage, which in spite of failures, assures victory through your redeeming love. Cleanse us of the tiny rivalries, sensitivities, vanities, discourtesies. . . everything which distracts from you, everything which divides or discourages us. Help us to maintain, at a high level, meaningful, supernatural and mutual love among ourselves, so that each one will seek by preference the most humble tasks and will rejoice at the good performed by others. 12

KAIROS LEADER'S PRAYER (continued) Grant that we may be unified in purpose and share in a single spirit… your spirit, Lord Jesus. Grant that your attractive goodness be seen in all of our faces, your warm accents of love heard on all of our words. In our lives, may we show something of you to the world, something which proclaims your living presence among us… Amen 13

WHAT TO DO IF………. . Every Kairos Leader is faced with a situation that is not completely covered in the manuals or by a specific Kairos policy. We are engaged is some very serious spiritual warfare, and Satan can be very creative with his destructive activities. Where can you go to get help: Kairos Short Course Manual Advising Leader State Council CEO 7 – p 86 Kairos Operational Manual Regional Committee KSO 92

WHAT TO DO IF………. . Pre-ministry or “Institutional Agreement” Phase Circumstance: The prison you are talking with about beginning a Kairos ministry wants to have the ministry but wants you to do the course in just 3 days. Response: Negotiations to begin a new ministry should only be conducted in conjunction with the State Council. Kairos Short Courses can be conducted in shorter timeframes, but not without the approval of the State Council and CEO. 7 – p 86 93

WHAT TO DO IF………. . Team Formation Phase Circumstance: You plan on having 5 table families on the course, but can only recruit enough volunteers to have 2 team members per table family. Response: As the experienced Team Members to assist with recruiting from amongst those in their Churches who have hearts for Ministry. If you are unable to get more volunteers, reduce the number of table families on the course until you can support a table family structure of 3 team and 6 residents per family. This design is intentional and important. 7 – p 88 94

WHAT TO DO IF………. . Course Phase Circumstance: Something interrupts the course (counts, incidents, weather, ) that causes you to fall significantly behind. How do you make up lost time? Response: You are given the authority and the responsibility by your Regional Committee to run the course according to the Kairos Manual. That is your job. In the prison environment, all manner of delays can and do happenfrequently! When delays happen, it becomes your job to make the best of what you have. There is some "fluff' time in the schedule to made the course relaxed. Try to keep it that way. 7 – p 89 95

WHAT TO DO IF………. . Course Phase Never cut: • Meditations and Chapel Visits -their call to be spiritual • Breaks -nothing is learned if people are uncomfortable • Discussion time –forming family, learning to be heard May trim or combine: • Poster time –one poster for two talks, perhaps either/or • Some talks May cut: • Some talks if necessary. All of last day's talks may be picked up in the Instructional Reunion and Monthly Reunions or Journey programs • Some song sessions 7 – p 89 96

WHAT TO DO IF………. . Post-Course Activities Circumstance: You are only allowed a half day for the Instructional Reunion. Response: Shorten or combine the talks. Reduce the "practice time. " Try to organize the residents into functioning groups, if possible. 7 – p 86 97

WHAT TO DO IF………. . Discipline Unfortunately, some Kairos volunteers occasionally become undisciplined or disobedient, and cause problems to the local ministry. Response local leadership to confront them in a loving and caring way to convince them to stop their disruptive activities. The only action that can be taken to discipline a Kairos volunteer is to remove them from participating in the ministry. 7 – p 86 98

WHAT TO DO IF………. . Summary / Questions As a Kairos leader you need to be familiar with Kairos manuals, programs, policies, and procedures. You need to know not only "what", but "why". 7 – p 86 99

CONTINUING MINISTRY The Kairos Continuing Ministry (“The Journey Program”) • The Principal Purpose of Kairos is to establish strong Christian communities among the populations of correctional institutions. • This is essentially done through the impact of small, 3‑to‑ 5 person share and prayer groups of the residents in the institutions. 2. 4– p 10 & 8 p 93 108

CONTINUING MINISTRY 2. 4– p 10 & 8 p 93 109

CONTINUING MINISTRY The KPMA Program Manual describes these key components: • The Short Course (first experience of meeting in family groups) • Initial Reunion (encouragement and training for participating in on-going “Prayer and Share” fellowship) • Monthly Reunion (chance for inside community to lead the program) • Two Day Retreat (encouragement for those who have “drifted away” to rejoin the group) • Journey Program (facilitating a journey of Christian transformation and growth) 2. 4– p 10 & 8 p 93 110

CONTINUING MINISTRY In Australia it is common to label the whole program of continuing ministry as "The Journey Program" and often is a regular (weekly, fortnightly or even monthly) activity, on a consistent day of the week and at a set time. Such a program may incorporate various aspects of the five components of the continuing ministry of Kairos. 2. 4– p 10 & 8 p 93 111

CONTINUING MINISTRY Basic principles of support • The Kairos volunteer is not to become a primary support person for any resident. • We must encourage residents to enter into community with each other rather than with ourselves. • By engaging in the continuing ministry activities (especially “Prayer & Share”), residents begin to form relationships of trust with each other and with God. • The more these relationships grow, the easier and more effective will be their rehabilitation and reconciliation with family and the community after release. 2. 4– p 10 & 8 p 93 112
