Our outreach takes many forms, and is funded through different avenues. Ten percent of all income is tithed and this goes to the Dlalanathi NGO and the Kairos Ministry to restore prisoners through love. Persons also contribute directly to these projects with funds, time and prayer to ensure they continue to minister effectively.

Beyond these projects we seek to engage creatively with issues in our local community.

We also offer care to the elderly, hospital visits, and pastoral care to those seeking care.

Dlalanathi is a nonprofit organisation based in Pietermaritzburg. Within the South African context we work to provide psychosocial support for children through play by training and supporting caregivers. Nelson Mandela once said, “Children are the most vulnerable citizens in any society and the greatest of our treasures.” We agree, affirming with our work the value, both of children and their caregivers, while empowering them to be pillars of support in their homes, families, and communities.

WHAT DOES THE WORD KAIROS MEAN?

There are two Greek words for time. One of them, with which we are all familiar, is ‘kronos’ meaning linear time hours, day’s weeks etc. The other is ‘kairos’, used in the sense of time set by God for a particular occurrence.

‘KAIROS’ was found to be a word of very special significance in the environment of the correctional institution where the word ‘time’ carries so many special connotations.

KAIROS MISSION STATEMENT:

The mission of Kairos Prison Ministry International, Inc. is to bring Christ’s love and forgiveness to all incarcerated individuals, their families, and those who work with them, and to assist in the transition to becoming a productive citizen.
