Prayer Calendar

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. 

We thank the Lord for the beautiful way that He plants and uproots in order to make the most fruitful garden. We pray that we would continue to trust His process along the way, and for clear affirmations of each season so that we can find peace in navigating the changes. 

Working with prisoners on every level continually highlights the growing need we have on a national level for a healthy, safe, wise, spirit-filled community. We pray that the Lord would continue to move in churches across Canada to rise to the occasion of standing in the gap, not just in prayer, but in real, authentic, […]

We received a number of updates from volunteers suffering various ailments these past few weeks and so we take a moment today to remember these long-suffering servants of Christ and intercede on their behalf for everything that ails them to be healed in Jesus’s Name! May the Lord continually fill them with joy in their […]

We pray that the Lord continues to make a way possible for many volunteers across the country to get fully cleared in correctional institutions so that they can fill the gaps we have for in-prison volunteers. We pray for continued favour for our volunteers every place that the Spirit leads them. 

We praise the Lord for the wonderful ways He sustains us before we ever even know that we will have a need. We continue to ask for surrendered hearts to trust in Him to continually provide for us in just the right ways that we need as a ministry. 

During our preparation for rolling out Angel Tree Christmas this year, we pray for creative wisdom and insight to make the program the most accessible to prisoners everywhere across Canada. We pray that no incarcerated parent would miss out on the opportunity to send their child a gift. 

As we continue to grow our reach of support to returning citizens in Ontario and Quebec, we also pray that the Lord would raise up the necessary volunteers in just the right places to meet every need that arises. We pray that every returning citizen would have access to a mature, spirit-led team of two […]

We thank the Lord that He knows just how to increase us little by little, and we pray for a little more increase in callers on the PFC by Phone lines, in chaplain referrals, in institutional posters being put up in the ranges, and for prisoner knowledge and trust in the program. 

We continue to pray that through the various in-prison Bible studies; through the conversations on the PFC by Phone lines, and through the hope of support from the Bridgecare program upon release, that prisoners would find comfort during this difficult season of their lives, and hope for the future. 

Though there are many different kinds of dreams and the symbolism is not always easy to understand, we pray that the Spirit would continue to give dreams and visions, and an understanding and correct interpretation of dreams and visions to prisoners across Canada that inspires hope for every situation they encounter. 

We speak peace over prisons across Canada and pray that fighting will cease. We pray that underlying issues will be uncovered and appropriately addressed in the spirit of love and holy acceptance. We pray that the light will begin to shine brightly in the dark corridors of prisons across Canada, and they will become houses […]

We take a moment to lift up those prisoners who are struggling mentally with the conditions of the prison, with situations with their peers, or with the battle of their own minds, and ask the Lord to lead them to wisdom in His Word to overcome those mental attacks of the enemy. 

We pray for the Lord’s presence to permeate the volunteer-client Bridgecare teams meeting up all across the country. We pray that their meetings will be filled with revelations of the Word of God, timely insight for the particular season they are in, and something encouraging for every member of the team. 

In the “upside down” Kingdom of God, we see that God uses the least likely time and time again to accomplish His purposes. We pray that the least likely individuals who are ready to answer the calling of Christ would find their way into PFC programs. We pray that the Word would bring conviction, healing, […]

We pray that the Lord would raise up unexpected financial support from all across Canada to help us to develop our ministry efforts in the places where there is little or no activity. We pray that God would give us insight where to seek and find His abundant provision. 

We continue to pray for a robust marketing campaign that includes our social media, website, and printed pieces. May the Holy Spirit inspire creativity in our marketing pieces that clearly communicate the breadth of our work, those we serve, those who faithfully serve and the many needs of prisoners and their families. 

We take a moment to remember the Whitestone team facilitating The Re-Entry Journey in Eastern Ontario, and pray that the men in attendance would be greatly blessed by this time of fellowship, study of God’s Word, and the relationships formed in a safe and spirit filled environment. We pray that the Spirit would make the […]

We pray for the testing and roll out phase of our new data management solution to go smoothly. We pray that the Holy Spirit will give knowledge, insight, and understanding to every member of our team to use the new developments effectively. We pray that the Holy Spirit would give our developing team insight to […]

We pray for open doors to host our new Bridgecare Workshop in many transitional houses across the country, along with trained volunteers who can facilitate this workshop to make known the support of Bridgecare to returning citizens. 

With all of the research that highlights the connection between fatherlessness and outcomes of crime, we pray that each and every prisoner across Canada would come to embrace the love and acceptance of their Heavenly Father. 

We thank the Lord for the provision of Recovery Bibles for prisoners, ex-prisoners and their families. We pray for open doors to see these Bibles mold the minds of young theologians in their faith journey with all the supportive resources that this unique Bible has to offer. 

Just as we see the Holy Spirit providing knowledge, understanding, insight, and even creative wisdom to God’s people all throughout the Bible to complete the calling of God, we also pray to receive the wisdom we daily need to complete the work He has given us to do. 

We pray that the Spirit of the Lord will enliven Chaplains and surround them with the necessary support needed to take the Angel Tree Christmas program far and wide to as many prisoners as possible in each institution. 

We pray for the seeds of truth that were planted in the lives of every child who attended camp this summer. We pray that the person of Jesus would become real in greater degrees, and that their relationship with God would be firmly established. 

We pray for all of our national staff across Canada, and ask the Lord to restore each one in their health, in the sharpness of their thought life, in the soundness and gentleness of their hearts, and in their aptitude for the deeper work of the ministry. 

We pray for the 2023 Angel Tree Christmas program. We ask the Lord to clear the path for prisoners across Canada to be able to participate, and for an outpouring of sponsor participation to meet every need.

We continue to pray that people returning from prison and jail would be divinely directed to meaningful support for spiritual care and career development.

We continue to pray that prisoners across Canada will continue to find their way to the PFC by Phone lines to find meaningful support. We pray that callers will find comfort, that strongholds would be broken, and that prisoners would be spiritually set free.
