How Can I Serve with Kairos at Guntersville First?

- Prayer – Kairos Weekends are a battlefield where strongholds are taken down, and lives are changed! We invite you to join us in praying without ceasing for the lost at St. Clair, and for the men and women who will serve in this ministry. Your time committed to pray will be used in creating a powerful prayer chain that will surround these rooms-literally your prayers will cover these men on all sides!
