We believe in the transforming power of prayer to restore and bring; healing, salvation, freedom and hope to our friends experiencing homelessness. We see people of many different faiths at different stages of their spiritual journey. Many have complex needs stemming from; addictions, poor mental health, abuse, trauma and grief including ex service veterans and those without family.

We pray for our friends every morning and before each session. We also hold a weekly time of prayer and worship at our Support Centre with an open invite for anyone who wishes to attend. Our quiet space is available for personal prayer and we've just started an Alpha course.

Church Support:

We’re also always grateful for volunteers, support with our weekly prayer and worship, practical donations or fundraising and financial gifts in support of our work in the City.

Luke 4:18-19

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.”

 

Matthew 25:35-40

‘For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

 Then they asked ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

 The Lord will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
