The mission of the Kairos Prison Ministry is to share the transforming love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ to impact the hearts and lives of incarcerated men, women and youth, as well as their families, to become loving and productive citizens of their communities. The vision of Kairos Prison Ministry International, Inc. (KPMI) is to be a community spiritually freed from the effects of imprisonment reaching all impacted by incarceration, through the love, hope, and faith found in Jesus Christ.
Kairos-Allred is the name for the group of local KPMI volunteers working inside and outside the prison walls of the James V. Allred Unit, which is located near Wichita Falls, Texas. Our dedicated volunteers and generous contributions come from all over the north Texas area and beyond.
