As I have prayed, planned, and moved forward with preparation for Kairos #20 at McNeil Island, I have experienced a non-stop set of such encounters. I have twelve first time volunteers, many of whom have expressed that just a year or so ago they could never have imagined serving the Lord inside a prison. Many have had past experiences with prisons through friends or aquatics being incarcerated, or family who have worked in the DOC system currently or in the past. I fully believe that many of these past, seemingly random events have actually been God directed in leading them to serve in this ministry. There is no doubt in my mind that we serve an Awesome God, who leads and directs our paths when we humbly look to him for opportunities to be his hands and feet in action and service to others.
