Prayer Calendar

We pray for wisdom and direction as we review our organizational structure and examine the best ways to serve our mission and vision. We pray that we would have hearts attentive to the Spirit's leading and for the boldness to press forward with the divine solutions He inspires.

We pray and ask the Lord to send us those volunteers who are truly filled with His Holy Spirit and for our discernment to recognize it. We pray that all across Canada, wherever the greatest needs abound, there the Lord's remnant would also rise up and meet the needs.

We thank the Lord for the call to ministry; for the resources to carry it out; for His continual care for us along the way; for His ever-enduring love that surrounds us; for the answers that He gives to the difficult questions we continually face; and for His ever abiding presence that goes with us! […]

We pray and ask the Lord for both a strong financial start and end to this new fiscal year for Prison Fellowship Canada. May the Lord so abundantly provide for our every need that we can direct our efforts towards our true mission of preparing and mobilizing the Canadian Christian community in response to the […]

We lift up our volunteers who serve in earnest on the PFC by Phone lines across Canada and ask the Lord to give them divine utterances every time they speak to prisoners, revealing the deep things of the heart, bringing timely words of encouragement, and lending edification to their journey.

We pray for all the volunteers in attendance for our MHFA training and ask the Spirit of the Lord to lead us in our time together to speak honestly and openly with a deep sense of safety of our time together. May the Lord bring insight and healing to all.

We pray the Spirit of peace will bring a lightness to the heavy topics surrounding mental health and lead everyone in participation in today's training to a place of surrender and release. We pray that all of our volunteers are powerfully equipped through this program to be instruments of care to others.

We continue to pray for open doors to this powerful and effective ministry in institutions across Canada. May the Lord continue to pray for volunteers to meet the growing needs as well as for new opportunities to expand our efforts to those struggling with isolation and loneliness everywhere.

Although we have continued to grandfather the Pen Pal program in recent years, we still have many connections that are still going strong. We pray those connections will continue to be a source of mutual edification and encouragement for volunteers and prisoners alike.

We pray for prisoners all across Canada to find their way to their PFC by Phone regional numbers and for the confidence to seek out and find spiritual support during their incarceration. May prisoners find their hearts so favourably disposed to the service that they continue to utilize it and promote it positively to others.

It's been about a month, and we continue to pray for our federal PFC by Phone pilot to be well received by the prisoners at Bath Institution. May the conversations be led by the Holy Spirit and graced by the restorative presence of Jesus!

We continue to ask the Holy Spirit to lead our staff, volunteers, financial supporters, and partners in our day-to-day assignments with a continual sense of His presence and direction in all we do. May the Lord give confirmation and affirmation to take the next step boldly.

We take a moment to stop, pause, and reflect on the reality of prisons. We pray for prisoners all across Canada, asking the Lord to set the prisoner free spiritually. May they learn to walk in divine freedom no matter what their circumstances may be. May the Lord elevate the minds of prisoners to the […]

We pray for those men and women who are facing charges or are sentenced due to crimes of a particularly difficult nature to find grace. We pray that the hindrances to finding a restored sense of value and worth will be broken from their lives. May the Spirit give them a living Word that speaks […]

Although no one wants to remain in a physical prison, we pray that this time away will give deep insights to prisoners about how we battle with spiritual prisons throughout our journey. We pray for a complete shift in perspective and a renewal of the mind of prisoners that leads to healing and restoration.

We continue to pray for effective strategies for connecting the work of the ministry to the next generation through social awareness campaigns on social media. We pray for vision as we design each marketing piece and that the Spirit of the Lord would touch each piece to cause it to capture an audience faithful and […]

We pray that beyond every point of connection that we have with churches, that churches would feel deeply for the marginalized and prisoners the way that Jesus does. May His Spirit direct them to intersect with our ministry in the divine connection ways that only He can orchestrate.

We thank the Lord for this wonderful opportunity to play our 1Life game with Ontario Chaplains. We pray that the deeply meaningful concepts that abound from the experience would highlight the problem in a greater light and encourage everyone towards more intentional problem-solving and solutions.

As we continue to develop internal processes to streamline our work and develop better solutions for self-care, time management, and organizational growth, we pray for wisdom, guidance, restoration in the ways we don't easily recognize that we might need, and for humility with the process.

We continue to thank the Lord for the progress we see towards in-prison volunteers returning to serving in an in-prison setting. We continue to ask the Lord to open more doors across the country for a swift and expedient return. We also pray for open doors to facilitate our revised and rebranded curriculum.

During a wait time that felt like it would never cease, we pray especially for those faithful and diligent volunteers who stayed silently sharpening their swords, waiting for the opportunity to engage once again. We pray that their diligence to their own preparations would be met with new doors of opportunity.

We pray that all across the country, a new wave of the Holy Spirit will blow, causing deep places within prisoners and in prisons alike to reach out, asking deep and meaningful questions about faith. We pray that this hunger creates opportunities for the in-prison curriculum to meet a need like never before.

We lift up our upcoming fundraising appeal and ask the Lord to go before us and prepare the hearts of many in response to the need so that every prisoner who comes through the program may experience the gift of connection this Christmas. We thank the Lord for how He has carried us in the […]

We lift up our faithful Angel Tree sponsors who go above and beyond to meet caregivers and invite them into the community through the Angel Tree Christmas program. We pray that God will continue to have his hand firmly upon these interactions, guiding them by His Spirit and restoring families.

Lord, we pray for the gift of connection this Christmas. From prisoners to their children and community sponsors to these families, may the gift of your holy desire for community be so powerfully and yet lovingly felt among all. 

Lord we lift up our staff and volunteers all across Canada and pray that through our lives we will not only embody the very presence of Your heavenly kingdom on Earth when we come together, but that others would also see it in us through all that we do as you send us out into […]

We pray for eyes that truly see and for a heightened sense of discernment as we continue to grow into the spiritual men and women that You call us to be in Christ. Give us hearts attentive to Your voice, and a will that is quick to act on those things we know You are […]

Just as we do not wage war with the weapons of this world, we speak in authority against the spiritual barriers to the places where you have desired for us to go, and for the full and complete removal of any obstacles that set themselves up in the way of what You seek for us […]

Lord we pray for your blessings and protection over the volunteers who so faithfully serve through our Bridgecare program. We pray that the work will continue to find meaningful resources that accompany the spiritual support we offer and lead to greater connections to places for clients to both receive - and give back to - […]
