KAIROS Ministries
Kairos Prison Ministry is an ecumenical volunteer organization ministering to incarcerated individuals, their families, and those who work with them through monthly ministry programs as well as bi-annual retreat weekends, described as short courses in Christianity. During retreat weekends hundreds of dozens of home-made cookies are given to inmates to demonstrate the love of Christ through Christian strangers.
Purdy Prison Ministries

International Justice Mission
The International Justice Mission takes referrals from overseas missionaries and relief and development workers when they encounter cases of abuses and injustices (i.e. children forced into prostitution, children sold into slavery, street children abused by authorities, men and women held in illegal detention) in the communities where they are serving, and they cannot rely on local authorities for help and relief. After receiving the referrals, IJM investigators conduct thorough, complete, professional and confidential investigations to document the abuses.
Medical Teams International
Medical Teams International seeks to demonstrate the love of Christ to those in crisis by sending volunteer medical and emergency response teams, distributing humanitarian aid, and providing community development and children’s ministry programs.
