This week we pray for our local missions partner Sanctuary Youth Centre. Based in the basement of Church of Our Lord in downtown Victoria they serve as a safe place for some of the most vulnerable people in our city - street entrenched and at-risk youth between the ages of 14 and 22.

Here are some prayer requests from Sanctuary Youth: 
  • We join them in prayer for the many young women at Sanctuary who remain trapped in cycles of abusive relationships and substance use, often rooted in childhood trauma and a deep fear of abandonment. 
  • We pray for the young men and boys facing similar trauma, lack of positive role models, and struggles with addiction, which can lead to dangerous or aggressive behaviour—resulting in some being asked to leave for safety reasons.
  • The staff request prayer for softened hearts, healing, positive influences, and wisdom in balancing grace with keeping the centre safe.
