Yesterday I went into prison with about 20 other men to minister to 42 inmates. Those numbers do not sound impressive, but if the multiplication factor works, and we know it does, the impact on the prison population will be much more than the 42 men that are in the room with us.
The Kairos weekend is not meant to be a end in itself. It is the start of a journey for some, the call to a journey for all and a means of men catching a vision of knowing and serving God.
I have to be careful that I do not get caught up in the mechanics of the weekend and forget the individuals involved. It is about God and the inmates, and not me.
Today I have a talk to give about Discovery. Discovery of what it means to follow Jesus Christ, Discovery of the journey of knowing Him and serving Him.
I pray that I will remember that we are all on this journey and that we never discover all that God has for us out there. I pray that I will see the vision, and that I will live each day of the journey in the moment and not just striving toward some goal at the end.
