With the changing landscape of how technology has impacted the way we do things, we pray that we will continue to find inspiration that helps us to best utilize the latest technological advancements in our workflow and ministry. We pray for creative inspiration that never takes away, but rather supports, PFC’s relational style of ministry.
We pray that the Holy Spirit continues to bring healing, hope, and encouragement to prisoners who are in hard-to-reach areas of institutions across Canada through dreams and a clear understanding of the interpretation of dreams. May the power of prophecy flow from prisoners across Canada.
As we set our sights on the work ahead of us this year, we pray that the Holy Spirit will help us to recognize the times and seasons for stepping away and finding rest in new restorative ways. May we never lose our zeal, but also wisely appropriate our time to include the rest necessary […]
We thank the Lord for the light hearts that He gives us for such heavy work. May He guard our hearts so that we never lose our love for ministry. May we continue to find joy in His service and find ways to encourage ourselves like David did in his darkest moments.
The struggle with immediate and even long-term shame for prisoners after release is a very real and daily battle. We pray that the joy and comfort that the Gospel gives to us to overcome the effects of shame in our lives would far outweigh the despair and hopelessness that permeates the lives of so many, post-incarceration.
With all of the information now available at our fingertips, it can sometimes feel overwhelming to know where to start. We pray that the Holy Spirit would guide returning citizens to the right resources that adequately equip them to grow deeper in their understanding of the Holy One.
We thank the Lord for congregations who love you and their commitment to pray for prisoners, ex-prisoners, their families, and the victims of crime, along with all the other issues of justice at every level of government. May the Lord restore our judicial system into one that truly reflects the heart and structure for transformation.
We pray that more churches across Canada would sense the move of the Holy Spirit and get involved with justice-affected individuals within their communities. We pray that churches would be known as healing places for ex-prisoners to find comfort, establish identity, and grow as disciples of Jesus as God gently leads them.
We pray that every caller who calls the PFC By Phone line would walk away encouraged, finding meaningful connections and prayers that uplift their soul. We pray that the light of this ministry of love toward prisoners would be deeply felt by every caller reminding them that they are never forgotten.
We’re thankful that prisoners are connecting with PFC’s Faith & Justice curriculum; with Bridgecare mentors, and through the PFC By Phone program, but we ask the Holy Spirit to take each of these connection points to deeper places in the year ahead. We ask the Lord to etch out safe spaces for all of these […]
We pray and ask the Lord to help the hurting families of prisoners to find the full breadth of support necessary to assist them in navigating the difficulties of walking with an incarcerated loved one. We ask the Lord to raise up supportive communities through the local church to surround the families of prisoners.
Whether through the Scriptures, a spoken word of encouragement, or even a dream, we ask the Lord to plant a seed of the holy vision that Jesus has for every one of these incarcerated lives that stirs up their imaginations to see themselves as He sees them. We cry out for the restoration of hope.
