Kairos Outside of Eastern NC Advisory Council is seeking nominations
The
program ministries of Kairos Prison Ministry International are defined
by the Board of Directors and delegated to the State Chapter to oversee
the implementation of the ministry through the Advisory Council. It is
the Advisory Council that oversees the local ministry where God has
called you into service. You, as a volunteer in the Kairos Outside
program, are part of a great cloud of witnesses that extends around the
world, all working to help restore lost and damaged lives into the Body
of Christ.
The
Advisory Council is a body of volunteers in the Kairos Outside of
Easterrn NC (KOENC) ministry, just like you, who have come to recognize
that God has need for people to serve in leadership roles for the
benefit and health of the ministry. As a member of the local Kairos
community, you not only participate in the hands-on ministry, but you
participate in the election of persons who serve as members of the
Advisory Council, and possibly, you are called to serve as a member
yourself.
As
a member of the Kairos Community, it is important to understand that
there are some “basics” in the life of our local Advisory Council:
Body of Christ Vision
Everyone
in the Kairos Community is important to the workings of the ministry,
and we are part of a much larger effort throughout the state, the
country and the world. As described in 1 Corinthians 12, we are one
Body with many parts.
Community Participation
People
cycle through the leadership of the ministry by serving on the Advisory
Council for a period of time, and then cycling out to make room for
other, newer Community members so that they can participate and grow in
their understanding of the ministry. It is foundational to the long
term health of the ministry that people do not become entrenched on
teams, and on the Advisory Council.
Living in Obedience and Sacrificial Servanthood
The
Kairos ministry is one that calls for volunteers to live in a spirit of
obedience and sacrificial servanthood. Advisory Council members are
called to live out this spirit of obedience to the methods and practices
of the ministry. We serve, not in conflict, but in unity.
Cornerstones of the Advisory Council
The key functions of the Advisory Council include the following:
- Outreach – Telling the Kairos story to as many people as possible (speakers bureau)
- Communications – Keeping the Community connected (updating mailing list, mailings)
- Training & Technical Assistance with KPMI’s Ezra software
- Stewardship – Providing the funding for the ministry
- Ministry – Being responsible for overseeing the weekend retreats
NOMINATIONS
All this is an introduction to your KOENC Advisory Council. We are

beginning January 2012. Qualifications are that someone be active in
their church community, in a prayer and share group, and have served on
Team, as an Angel, or in some other way have been active in the ministry
this past year. If you feel God is calling you to this service or if
you think someone else you know might be interested please give us a
