What Do Kairos Veterans Have to Say About It?
"My Kairos retreat was an experience that I will never forget. I not only drew closer to God, but I also felt that I gained a clearer understanding of how God is truly present in every aspect of my life. I suddenly saw God's presence everywhere-in my friends, in nature, in music, and even in studying for a tough exam. I began to view God as a close friend, and this special closeness to God is something that I hope to carry in my heart at all times."
"The first Kairos retreat is a once in a life time opportunity, simply because you do not know what to expect. The word "amazing" does not even describe Kairos because of how incredible it really is. Getting closer to God, with friends and family is priceless. Kairos, or God's time, is a life changing event. Live the 4th."
"It is a wonderful experience! God is the most important thing in my life and to be put into a situation where you are with your peers for four days discussing how God works in each others lives is amazing! So many of us have gone through the same or similar struggles and it is so rewarding to be able to voice those struggles in such a supportive God loving environment where God is truly present."
"Kairos was a very special time for me that still affects me in a deep way. The feeling of Grace, the relationships I began and strengthened, the discovery of Christ's working in my life- wow!!! I truly felt God's presence on this retreat in such a remarkable way, and I will carry the experience and gifts with me always. I think anyone even considering Kairos should take a chance and go."
"I often feel as though we get so caught up in living our hectic lives that we tend to forget what it's really all about. In my opinion, there's nothing quite like entire weekend devoted to God just to keep things in focus. And what makes a Kairos retreat so special? I'd say it's all about the love..."
"Kairos was a tremendous opportunity to experience God's love in a multitude of different ways. The time 'removed from the daily grind' was ideal for reflection, and I came away from the retreat able to see
"As someone who was not really "into" retreats, Kairos opened my eyes to how great an experience retreats can be. I was hesitant at first because of not knowing what to expect, but once you start the retreat it is such a rewarding time. Honestly, I can say that I came away from my Kairos experience with a closer relationship with God and an idea of how I could become a better person. It is a retreat everyone should experience at least once in their life."
"Kairos changed the way that I viewed my friends, family, and God. For the first time in my life, I was able to see God in other people. Kairos changed my personality, and made me a more considerate person towards others. Kairos was four of the best days of my life. It changed my life."
