Pray

Lives can be forever changed and restored to the kingdom of God through prayer for Participants and team of the Katy Torch Weekend.  The first name of all individuals praying for the Weekend is added to a paper chain that will surround the community room and Participants as a visual message that people care.

Love (Agape)

God's unconditional love is expressed through tangible signs of Agape, in the form of letters, posters, prayer chain, cookies and other expressions from the volunteers, community churches, caring individuals and other entities supporting Torch.

Letters and Posters contain messages from your heart about Jesus' love for the participants, and may include Bible verses, and should include your first name, church name or group name.

Mentor

The Kairos Torch mentoring relationship is conducted in a group setting with one to one mentor/mentee pairs meeting weekly for mentoring sessions. All mentoring sessions are facilitated with the use of the approved Kairos Torch Mentor's Guide.  The lessons are relevant to the growth and development of the youth while residing in the youth facility, but are pertinent to developing holistic life skills once they leave the institution.
