The mission of the Kairos Prison Ministry is to share the transforming love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ to impact the hearts and lives of the men incarcerated at Augusta State Medical Prison to help them become loving and productive citizens of their communities. In addition to the actual team members (male only, because it is an all-male prison), there are opportunities for both men and women to help with fundraising and baking cookies in support of the Kairos mission.

The Pro-Life Ministry engages in activities to restore respect for all human beings, from the moment of conception until natural death. We participate in prayer and witness gatherings in front of local abortion clinics and perform sidewalk counseling and referrals to women in crisis pregnancy situations. We provide compassionate post-abortion healing referrals to women who are suffering from the effects of an abortion. We perform educational activities, including a youth Pro-Life Oratory and Video Contest, Pro-Life training, and distribution of Pro-Life literature. We are part of the Greater Augusta Chapter of Georgia Right to Life.

In this ministry, we are reaching out to some of our most vulnerable brothers and sisters — young children at a Catholic school in Gola, Ethiopia. We hold drives to collect items they need, offer prayer support, and seek to form a true friendship with these children and the Catholic Sisters who teach and care for them. 

New faces and new ideas for this project are most welcome.
