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 […]

Lord we pray for the opportunity to serve more incarcerated mothers and fathers through the Angel Tree Christmas program than any previous year! We also pray that you will supply our every need for sponsors to meet the needs of this growing program.

Lord, we pray for a special covering over those who faithfully serve to facilitate curriculum in a prison setting. We pray that you would set a guard over their tongues, and bestow a Spirit of wisdom so that their every word brings life, healing, freedom, and restoration. 

Lord, we call upon the parts of the body that are not yet perfectly represented in the whole building that You are building through us. We pray that we would lack no part in serving together to reach those you have entrusted to our care. May every kind of gift be represented among us. 

We pray that the Holy Spirit will continue to impress upon new and longtime prisoners the opportunity for change through spiritual friendship over the phone on our PFC by Phone lines. May a wave of conviction wash over prisoners and inspire them to call in and find connection. 

Every province faces its own unique context for connecting to a prison ministry, and yet we pray that as a holy organization, we best represent the ministry in the light of what moves the local church to find its rightful place within the greater context of the need to serve prisoners everywhere. Give us wisdom […]

Dreams can be a way in which we develop in our ability to marvel at the omniscience of God in all things. We pray that prisoners and ex-prisoners continue to encounter the Spirit of a loving and faithful Father through the ways He welcomes us to peek into what He’s about to do through prophetic […]

We lift up Chaplains who serve prisoners every day in the context of prisons all across Canada. We pray that they will continue to find holy encouragement and hope in the meaningful work they do. We pray that they would find rest, renewal, and answer to prayer, in both their life and ministry. 

We pray that the Lord would impart a holy song from heaven into the hearts of our staff, volunteers, supporters, and those we serve, that makes the day just a bit lighter, and joyful, and peaceful, and imparts a very real sense of His presence within it all. Let heart worship that reaches heaven abound! 

Lord we intercede for those who are struggling to take responsibility for their sin so that they might be freed to walk into a deeper experience of Your love. We pray that you would wash them of their shame, and cleanse them of unbelief, and lead each one to experience your amazing grace. 

Lord, we entrust the development process we are currently undergoing as a ministry into your hands and pray that no area will be overlooked, no issue unresolved, and for a smooth transition in both learning how to navigate as well as benefit from the new systems. 

Lord, we pray that you would help us to see those areas of our relational ministry to our supporters that are lacking, and help us to find divine solutions that bring about greater trust in the work we do, and greater trust that you are paving the way to lasting change in the lives of […]

Lord, as the needs of the ministry change, we pray that the anointing upon our volunteers will also redirect towards those needs.

Lord we thank you for the wonderful opportunities that you have provided for us to gather together as one, in fellowship and communion with one another throughout the year. We continue to pray for these divinely appointed times and seasons, and for the provisions for a wonderful time together. 

Being restored can be a spiritual journey, an emotional one, and even a physical one. We ask the Lord to pour out over the complexity of needs that prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families have, and through both the local church - and His cattle on a thousand hills - to provide for every need that […]

We pray for wisdom as we prepare our various internal and external communications as an organization, and ask for guidance for each member as we grow in both our knowledge and understanding of the ministry. Give us the gift of discretion and soundness of speech. 

Lord we pray that our entire community of staff, volunteers, financial supporters and partners would continue to grow in our understanding of the issues of faith. We pray many would find depth of insight through the resource of A.J. Swoboda’s book, “After Doubt” which has been an office inspiration. 

Lord we ask You to shake away the spirit of complacency from the local churches and stir up a passion by Your Holy Spirit across Canada for seeking the lost - especially for those closest to Your heart: the prisoner, ex-prisoner, and their families. 

Lord, we pray that we won’t be so heavenly-minded that we miss the mark of truly understanding the depths and complexities of the issues in the lives of those we serve, but we also ask that we never become so worldly-minded that we can no longer serve as agents of change and transformation to the […]

We ask the Lord that the work we do would spread through our community like a wildfire, rippling over to the communities of those in our current community. We pray that many would begin to understand how the issues of crime affect us all, and that many would seek to be more deeply prepared to […]

We continue to praise the Lord for all the ways that He so faithfully provides for our every need, and ask the Lord to go before us and prepare for us the means to accomplish every vision He entrusts to our care. We pray for His abundant supply for every need that arises. 

As our needs for our national and regional offices change, we also pray for wisdom to guide us in the change of layouts, processes, procedures, and for grace to navigate these changes well. 

We pray that just as the prodigal son returned to His Father’s abundant care and provision upon returning home, we would see ex-prisoners returning to an abundantly supportive community upon release, adequately prepared in every way to receive them and see successful integration.

Lord, we pray for Your hand of protection over all of our Angel Tree sponsors who so selflessly venture to reach far out of their comfort zones to bless the lives of their neighbours in this wonderful way during Christmas.

We pray for many open doors in the coming weeks and months to share with prisoners about the resources of PFC's Bridgecare Directory and Mentorship Program through in-prison workshops. May the Lord bring clarity to prisoners about the support offered for their journey.

We ask that You would so generously overflow the lives of these caregivers […]
