Epiphany June 2018

June 2, 2018 by

Some of the most rewarding moments of my life have come while working an Epiphany weekend! My name is Chris Seaton, and I have the awesome opportunity to serve on the local Epiphany team as well as serving on the State Board which gives oversight to all of the Epiphany weekends in Texas.

Epiphany Ministry is an interdenominational Christian ministry for young men and women who are incarcerated in juvenile correctional institutions. The weekend is much like a Kairos Inside experience but is geared for juvenile offenders. Our purpose is to share God’s love with the youth, known as “Stars” through a three-day short course in Christianity and an on-going follow-up program.

Both men and women are allowed to work together inside the facility on an Epiphany weekend. It’s a great place for both single adults and couples to share in ministry together!

Epiphany #23 will take place at the Garza County Regional Juvenile Center, October 12-14, 2018, in Post, Texas. Team meetings will be scheduled in the months prior to the weekend. If you would like to participate, need additional information, or would like to know how you can support a weekend through prayer or finances, please email me at chris@providingLIFE.org.

What is Epiphany Ministry?

Epiphany Ministry, is an ecumenical Christian Ministry for young men and women who are in the custody of Juvenile Justice Facilities. The weekend models on which it is based are: Chrysalis, Cross, Cursillo, Happening, Kairos Prison Ministry, Tres Dias, Vida Nueva and Walk to Emmaus. Our purpose is to manifest God’s Love to incarcerated youth, known as “Stars” through a three day short course in Christianity and an on-going follow-up program. Each Epiphany weekend involves a team of adults and youth from the Christian community who work together to show the Love of God to those attending.

God’s Love has been revealed throughout history, especially in the life and atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. In church history, Epiphany is traditionally celebrated on January 6th marking the arrival of the Magi in search of the Christ child. “Epiphany” is a Greek word meaning “appearance”. The coming of the Magi marks the time when God is manifested on Earth to the entire world through Jesus Christ.

As in the first Epiphany, we can know the coming of God’s Love in our lives and introduce His Love to others.
