Prayer Calendar

We pray for those moments of silence and uncertainty when we’re waiting expectantly for the good things God has promised. May we never lose heart. May we look to the past and recount his kindness as we faithfully persevere until we see His promise.

We pray that the same power that resurrected Jesus from the dead would be poured out over every dead thing that we encounter in the way of serving the risen Christ. May souls come alive, hope be restored, and faith be invigorated by the power of the Christ for the seasons ahead.

We praise God that we have a living hope who is present with us; who endured every obstacle and overcame, and whose very life now fills our being to live just as He did. May our minds be constantly renewed by this truth, and our lives show forth the evidence of walking in step with […]

We thank God for so many new clients who see their need to journey through life with Jesus. May they tangibly experience the overwhelming kindness of His favour and heart-transforming compassion of His mercy day-to-day as they learn to navigate reintegration with Him.

We lift up the PFC by Phone program and pray that the Holy Spirit is drawing callers within approved institutions to learn about it, and to take that first step in faith to call. We pray that every caller finds meaningful support.

We pray for the groups embarking on the journey of learning about forgiveness and pray that the benefits of letting go of guilt and shame lead participants into greater experiences of freedom and liberty in Jesus. May the Holy Spirit guide the discussions into all the right places.

We pray that this introductory bible study program helps many to see Jesus in a whole new way that makes His presence in our lives more visible and experiential. We pray that the miracle and wonder of who Jesus truly is, is exalted through learning His Word.

We thank the Lord for those who are preparing for release and planning their strategy. We pray that as they begin thinking about release in practical ways that the Lord would give them encouragement and protection from discouragement along the pathway to reintegration.

We thank the Lord for churches who have answered the call to serve prisoners and have found deeper ways to connect with Jesus through this ministry. We pray for their growth along the journey; for their openness to learn new things, and for maturity in faith.

We thank the Lord for the Chaplains who see the benefits of PFC programs and the crucial role that these programs play in curbing recidivism. We thank the Lord for the many Chaplains who are invested in seeing prisoners break the cycle of re-incarceration. We pray that Chaplains would find overflowing joy in their labours.

We thank the Lord for the fruitful partnership with the Canadian Bible Society and their work to provide Bibles to prisoner-graduates of PFC programs. We pray that the Lord continues to supply for their every need in the way of bringing God’s Word to prisoners.

We continue to pray that the Holy Spirit will raise up mature volunteers who know how to relate to prisoners well while offering spiritual guidance and mentorship along the way. We pray that every key city where prisoners are returning is flooded with passionate Bridgecare volunteers.

We ask the Lord to raise up many specialized bilingual volunteers to serve on the PFC by Phone lines who can field a larger audience of callers without requiring double the efforts for each. We pray over the conversations on the line and ask that the Holy Spirit is guiding each one.

We ask the Lord to send us Spirit-filled volunteers who are especially gifted in program facilitation. We really want to see these programs come alive for participants and recognize the difference that a gifted volunteer can make. We ask the Lord to raise up volunteers with group facilitation skills.

We ask the Lord to stir up within us the ability to bring marketing strategies together in different pieces through creative theming. We pray for our team to continue to develop an eye that acutely recognizes how to pull various elements together while cohesively rolling out design to multiple platforms.

We pray for all of our national PFC staff and ask God to continue to liberally fill us with His Holy Spirit. Let us be renewed each day into the people He has called and created us to be in our various roles. We ask the Lord to cut away anything unfruitful to our calling from within us and […]

We thank the Lord for the dedicated service of those He set apart for this ministry. We ask the Lord to continue to cultivate within our volunteers an ear to hear clearly from Him, a heart that reflects His own, and a character that demonstrates wisdom in service in this complex work.

We ask the Lord for favour with camps across Canada to prioritize registrations for the children of prisoners to help break the cycle of crime within justice-affected families. We pray that camps will be so adequately supported in their own needs that they can prioritize spots for vulnerable children in need of these memorable experiences.

We take a moment to remember the weight of a sentence that is felt by the families of prisoners who must also journey through a season of incarceration without a loved one. We pray that their hearts would find comfort through faith and connection to local church communities for support.

Though we are never lacking in work, we continue to pray for every facet of our ministry and ask the Lord to order our steps and our time each day so that we can be the most pleasing and fruitful to Him in all of our efforts. Give us the wisdom to know how to […]

We pray and ask the Lord to surround this ministry with the work of angels at every step. There is so much that we all are unaware of daily at work in our lives, or don’t have the reach to attend to. We ask the Lord to send us angelic support to forge ahead in […]

We lift up our friend, brother and PFC Accountant as he transitions into new adventures. We ask the Lord to give him rest and to fill his days with joy and purpose. We thank the Lord for highlighting a new contact for us to fill his shoes and pray for a smooth transition.

Lord, we welcome you into prisons, and ask you to open the hearts of prisoners across Canada to receive You. We pray that in learning of You, our inner being will overflow naturally into worship in each of our sessions and Your Name would be exalted among prisoners.

In this next season of PFC ministry, we pray that we would begin to see new ways in which the investment of the past years begins abounding in manifold blessings over the way we manage each program area. Let us see the glory of our trust in You through our maturing workflow, Lord.

Lord, we know that You intimately know our every need. We ask you to draw people who are called and set apart toward us, who are adequately equipped and available to fulfill a real calling to the ministry. Help our leadership team to recognize them and to find real and substantial confirmation to move forward with […]

We thank the Lord for all of the weekly Bible studies that are taking place in prisons across Canada. We ask the Lord to etch out new places, times, and institutions for PFC to partner in, this year. We pray that we are always amply supplied for the needs of in-prison volunteers and time slots […]

We pray and ask the Lord to go before us and raise up stabilizing financial support for the ministry in every province across Canada. We pray that every role we need to grow the ministry is supplied through pillars of financial support to employ each one. Establish us, Lord.
