Prayer Calendar

We pray over all of our annual campaigns to raise awareness of the breadth of the work that we do at Prison Fellowship Canada and ask the Lord to open many hearts to receive it with open arms. May the faith of our volunteers, supporters, and partners be greatly encouraged in their participation in facilitating […]

May the Holy Spirit provide wisdom and grace for our developers to roll out our development project with precision, as well as for our staff to navigate the administrative changes with ease. May the Lord lift up our understanding and support us in every way necessary in learning how to do the administrative aspects of […]

As only the Sovereign God knows all things that come to attack believers, local ministries, and those in a spiritual battle for salvation unaware, we pray that the Spirit of the Lord would go before us preparing strategies for us to sidestep every harm, to lead us in pathways of safety, and to secure each […]

We lift up every representative of Prison Fellowship Canada who serves in the ministry in any capacity and ask the Lord to stir up within each one a constant, unrelenting, perfectly contained passion within for the labour we're called to. Give us a vision for the divine purposes for which we are here, and inspire […]

We pray that every need is provided for these little ones to make it to camp this year. We pray that their experience will be memorable in the best ways ever. We pray against childish divisiveness, but instead, ask that the Holy presence of the Lord will work to unite children together at camp in […]

We lift up these little ones who will be attending camp this summer and pray that the Lord uses this opportunity of them attending camp to help them develop a loving, supportive, lifelong community around them who will help them to build a strong foundation of faith. May the joy of the Lord be evident […]

We pray that more returning citizens residing in halfway houses across Canada will come to know about the support that the Bridgecare mentorship program offers and find their way to that support. We pray that the Lord will continue to meet these returning citizens with the three pillars of stability: housing, employment, and community.

We thank the Lord for this gracious gift He has entrusted to us to steward and pray for wisdom to do so with excellence. We pray that many justice-affected individuals would find meaningful support in trade apprenticeships and other forms of certifications that increase their chances for employment.

We thank the Lord for the blessed partnership with the Henri Nouwen Society and continue to pray for His hand to rest firmly over this entire project. We pray for open doors to pilot the program, as well as a Spirit-filled reception of open hearts that come to know the depths of the Father's love […]

We want to thank the Lord for the Spirit of Caleb that has been continually demonstrated through our brother in Christ, Robert Logan, as he moves on to retirement. We want to bless the tireless works of his hands these many years, pray over every seed planted, and ask that it continues to bear much […]

Heavenly Father, we pray that in a multitude of ways You would make known Your gracious, loving heart to prisoners all across Canada through our Prodigal Son campaign and curriculum. We pray for every resource needed to take this program far and wide and that You will draw many into Your merciful presence and affirm […]

We continue to pray for open doors of opportunity for prisoners to have a powerful introduction to Jesus through this life-giving curriculum. We pray that the questions that stir up would find answers and the deep longings of many prisoner hearts would be satisfied in Him. Help us to see Your Christ!

We lift up all of the many complex issues of identity that abound throughout incarceration and pray that prisoners would have an authentic life-changing encounter with the risen Lord Jesus. We ask that the things that are built upon sand will easily fall away, allowing for the things that remain in truth to stand firm […]

We thank the Lord for the labours of all the volunteers who serve this ministry in a variety of ways and ask the Lord to cut away the heavy burdens and make their burdens light. May each one find special encouragement this summer and a time of rest to commune closely with you so that […]

As we consider the many gaps currently existing throughout the country, we pray that the Holy Spirit goes before us and prepares just the right individuals who will walk effortlessly into those positions to take up the cause of Christ and make known the mysteries of His Word to prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families.

In the same way that God has always used dreams throughout the Scriptures that cause us to curiously inquire of Him and then reveal to us the mysteries of our own souls, we pray that the Holy Spirit continues to guide all of the prisoner population through dreams and visions, gracefully addressing those things that […]

We continue to pray that every area of our marketing and communication of who we are as a national ministry continues to grow stronger, more effective, and adept at communicating who we are, what we do, and how the local church fits into the greater process of reconciliation. Continue to craft and shape us into […]

We thank the Lord for the ways we see Him cultivating an interest in spiritual mentorship and support out in the Atlantic provinces. We pray that every need we have to meet these new clients and effectively support them is met with divine provisions from the Kingdom of Heaven.

We thank the Lord for the many men and women who find support through the PFC by Phone lines and pray that the seeds of encouragement that they receive would go down deep into their spirit and germinate, providing new perspectives on life, identity, forgiveness, and salvation.

As we continue cultivating our data to transition to our new platform this summer, we pray that the Lord will give us wisdom on the best ways to organize our contact information. We pray that we continue to see every arising issue with clarity and ask the Holy Spirit to provide us with timely solutions […]

As we begin the testing phase of our new platform of our development project, we ask the Lord to increase our capacity to comprehend the new environment with ease so that the process of navigating this powerful new resource comes easily to all of our staff and volunteers. May the Lord align us to walk […]

We pray for introductions to many companies, unions, and organizations that would offer apprenticeships to justice-affected individuals throughout Ontario. May the Lord build bridges and divine connections to help us develop our community of contacts in support of connecting those we serve.

We pray against every level of blockage, from staff and volunteer interpersonal blockages, to church engagement and ministry growth blockages, to the prisoner's revelation of Jesus blockages, and ask the Lord to establish the structure around each one for the walls to come down!

We've often seen that the direct way to accomplish something is not necessarily the way Jesus might lead us to do it, as He considers variables we are often unaware of. We pray that as His representatives, we will allow ourselves the space for these considerations as we continue to trust in His leading in all […]

We continue to trust that the Lord is going before us to prepare the way for further reach, new open doors of effective ministry, and greater involvement from the local Canadian Christian community. To this end, we pray that all the support required to stabilize these efforts across the country will be amply provided on every […]

We pray for those participants of the TFJ program, both old and new, to continue to find freedom in forgiveness as they learn about this massive topic. We pray that the Spirit will lead each one to contacts and resources that will continue to assist and support their knowledge and growth in this area.

We thank the Lord for the new vocabulary of words that returning citizens are being introduced to through the Re-Entry journey curriculum. We pray that in every regard, from relationships to conflict resolution; emotions management to employment readiness and money management, that these skills begin to greatly impact the success of every participant.

We lift up our servant leader staff members across the country and ask the Lord to cover them, to protect them, to guide them, to show favour to them, to open doors for them, to encourage and speak to them with clarity, and to comfort them in all the ways they are in need of. […]

We pray for continued Spirit-filled direction from PFC's CEO, Stacey Campbell, and pray that the Lord continually pours out His presence over her life. Inspire her with vision; give her rest in due season; stir her up with overflowing hope in the promises yet to come for this ministry. Be her comfort and her ever-present […]

We lift up those returning citizens feeling constantly overwhelmed by the stirring doubts of the enemy. "You'll never make it;" "It's too much;" "No one will accept you," and we declare "cease!" in the matchless name of Christ our Lord! May the application of faith find its relevance in the struggles of reintegration.

In a year when a lot of Christian camps are struggling financially, we consider their needs and pray that every need will be abundantly met. We pray for those families of prisoners, from the caregiver to the child, who are blessed through these camp experiences, and ask the Lord to more closely knit these families together […]

We thank the Lord for constantly surprising us with a resource we didn't even know we needed and how perfectly it lends to support what we do. We pray that we will see this more and more throughout the year and know when to welcome it with open arms.

We pray for the transformational work that the Lord had begun in the lives of returning citizens long before we ever met them and pray that in bringing it about to completion, we would get to see glimpses of those individuals who are so transformed by His glory, that they are hardly recognizable in their […]

One of the number one items of prayer that we see callers requesting on the PFC by Phone lines is for encouragement against depression and just the general heaviness of prison. We pray today for the lightness that only the Lord can bring and peace to the souls of prisoners.

We thank the Lord for the diligence of our faithful volunteers in attending to the needs of prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families, but we also pray that their every need is being met in Him. We ask the Lord to shower our volunteers with His loving care. May each one find a restorative community where […]

We pray that all the pieces of the body will come together effortlessly, knit together in faith and love, in the Spirit of peace, to accomplish all that the Lord has empowered us to do. May the Lord continue to establish us in one accord in service to His great commission.

 As our national staff pilots the new in-prison book club together (Henri Nouwen’s, The Return of the Prodigal Son), we pray that the Spirit would speak with clarity to each of our hearts helping to see our truths, and moving us to a place to better reflect the Father’s heart. 

We continue to pray that those returning citizens whose hearts are open to Jesus would find their way to the Bridgecare program in Quebec. We pray for institutional access for the program, and favour to bring it into transitional houses across the province. 

We pray for the Angel Tree campers attending camp this summer. May the Spirit of the Lord provide fun and safe camp experiences for each one, with memorable moments that they can carry for the rest of their lives. We pray that they encounter the love of God in an authentic way. 

We are so thankful for the many volunteers who give their time to field calls and show the compassion of Christ through the PFC by Phone lines. We pray that the Holy Spirit gives each one the wisdom they need in the moment to wisely instruct each caller from a biblical worldview that makes sense. 

We pray for many open doors to continue to facilitate this powerful program to prisoners across Canada. We also pray for those prisoners who are currently going through it. We ask the Lord to remove any barrier that stands in the way of them receiving His forgiveness in a greater way.

We thank the Lord for the amazing provision we recently received that allows for us to aid returning citizens in Ontario with obtaining gainful employment. We pray that the Lord continues to draw many to us in the only way He can, so that we can meet all criteria for this grant.
