The followers of most World faiths believe in the importance and the power of prayer. If you are a person of faith, please support this work in prayer. We suggest you pray particularly for:
Volunteers: That they may be sustained in what can be difficult and demanding work
Young people on the fringes of crime - that they will find good role models, who will help them find a sense of fulfilment, away from offending
Victims of crime and offenders -- that contact with volunteers will provide help and encouragement.
Families suffering as a result of the imprisonment of a family member - that they will be helped in coping without their loved one - and in re-adjusting when she or he returns home
Judges and magistrates - who have to make difficult decisions, balancing the need for justice with mercy
Prison, Probation and Police staff - that they will be given the patience to treat people who can be difficult and demanding, with respect
Prison Chaplains - that they too will be sustained, especially at times of tension within the prison; that they will be able to minister both to staff and inmates, helping prisoners to find a resource greater than they have known before, which will enable them to lead changed lives.
