As we continue to nurture all the areas of our lives and ministry to allow for the greatest possible pursuit of who we are called to be, both for ourselves and to reflect Your glory in this world, we pray that you will continue to affirm us in this labour of love by meeting our […]
Lord, so many lives are harmed and hurt by the outcomes of crime in our communities; people lose trust and hope, live in fear, and many go on living less that You intended. We pray that the deliberate work that prisoners are doing toward wholeness and holiness will be met with many opportunities for redemption […]
Lord, we continue to pray for every warden, superintendent, chaplain, program manager, and other correctional staff who we work with daily to serve the prisoner population. We pray that you will continue to give us favour to press forward with the work and that each person will also be positively impacted by the restorative nature […]
Lord, we pray that this year You will open new opportunities for us to begin connecting with prisoners in ways we haven't always had before. May there be opportunities for curriculum graduate baptisms and other opportunities for prisoners, ex-prisoners and their families to affirm their new identity in You.
Lord, we pray that this year will yield new connections to new churches all across the country that share the vision for restoration and the issues of the cycle of crime. We pray that these partnerships will be mutually edifying as we labour together and allow the Lord to teach us His heart for the […]
We pray that along with renewed definitions of big concepts like love, hope, and faith, that prisoners, ex-prisoners, the families of prisoners and the local church will develop strong biblical definitions of justice so that together we can strive towards the same goal.

We thank the Lord for the community He has brought together through this ministry as we strive together toward a common goal. We pray for continued opportunities for fellowship, mutual edification and growth and to find encouragement from one another in the mission we serve.
We pray for local congregations all across Canada to not only embody the healing work that we all must go through but that we grow to reflect this restorative work to the communities around us as places of spiritual, mental, and emotional support in response to the issues of sin and the subsequent brokenness that […]
We thank the Lord for intersecting the paths of our new Ontario Regional Manager, Philip Benjamin. May the Lord bestow upon him a Spirit of excellence to accomplish everything that He has called and set him apart to do. May the hand of the Lord rest firmly upon him and give him peace, always.
We pray that the Spirit would seek out all of those individuals, both incarcerated and recently released, who would greatly benefit from the support of the Bridgecare program resources for employment readiness training and skills development and lead them to our ministry.
We pray that the Lord would raise up advocates through the local church who are willing to provide employment opportunities to returning citizens with a criminal record. We pray that this will be a year for business owner believers all across Canada to walk out the call to discipleship through employment.
