Here are some quotes from the offenders during Sat open mic time and Sunday's closing:
"I’ve been going through a spiritual battle. Now I’m a truly different man. Yesterday I gave my life to Christ."
"Without Him I know I would have failed. Being a part of this weekend has opened my eyes to the fact that God has a greater work for me that’s not done."
"I’ve been more challenged to serve the way that I’ve seen here."
"This has been a revival to me. We have been praying for this for years."
"I’ve had a need to forgive and covered it up with Christian service."
"This is the first time that I’ve prayed in over 2 years. I had given up on God."
"I wanted to run out the door. I was ashamed, I was sure that people were judging me, but God made me stay. I was wrong. You showed me love and acceptance."
"We've been had!"
"I came here looking for something. I didn’t know if I’d find it, but now I have the Holy Spirit."
"I could never find a better lover."
"We need to take this back to the hood that we came from."
"We were filled and now we’re part of the 'Puddle Brothers'."
"God took a hardened heart and made it tender."
"I forgot I was in prison."
"What we found was the face of Christ. We’ve been flooded with the anointing."
"God opened my eyes and ears and what I heard were the voices of angels."
"We came here with an agenda but by the time we left the first evening we found that we had a whole new reason for being here."
"10 minutes after starting Kairos, one of the team members gave me more than anyone had given me before. The next day I gave my life to Christ."
"I get out in 6 months and I’m taking Jesus Christ into the world with me."
"I used to think that blacks and whites shouldn’t be together. Now I know that we are all one people."
"When I came in here Thursday I thought I was alright but I was consumed by anger. Now I'm free."
"Yesterday, I gave my life to Christ. I'm going to walk the walk. I was an Islamic Jihadist who believed what my leaders told me. They lied to me! They said 'Christianity is a white man's religion.' Now look, those who were supposed to love me lied to me, but those who supposedly didn't love me are here loving me."
"I thought I knew what Christianity was. I thank you for showing me."
"These walls have come down!"
"I am different. I inflicted a lot of pain. Now, I want to show love."
"I haven't seen my family in 10 years. This week my family came to visit."
"Everybody knows that when I watch the TV show, 'Extreme Makeover' I cry. I watch you guys build a house in 3 days! Now, I am an official 'Puddle Brother'."
"I believed in God all my life, but I was mad at Him. 6 weeks ago I quit blaming God and asked Him to show me love. You did and I thank you and I thank Him."
