Sanctuary Youth Centre

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 offer support and a safe place for street entrenched and at-risk youth between the ages of 14 and 22.

Here are some current items for prayer from Sanctuary Youth:

"We thank God for increased interest in our Raw Carrot soup making social enterprise.vWe pray for staff and volunteers needed to make this program a success.

We are in a time of growth and transition and we pray for our staff – that we will be sustained and healthy.  We pray for our new staff Arvi who comes to work as our new full time Administrative Assistant.

We pray for a woman who has overdosed twice in the past week -  that she might enter into detox and rehab.

We also remember a few young men who have been incarcerated. We pray that they grow from their time in jail with the benefit of routine and abstinence from harmful substances."
