Coventry Night Shelter.…please pray for this venture, for safety and strength for all involved in running it and for God to bless the guests who will be benefitting from it. Please pray that God’s love is made known, and also that the guests are able to make real progress in getting off the streets permanently. If you can possibly help, the more volunteers we have, the less often each person needs to volunteer. There are likely to be overheads, so any monetary donations would be welcome if that is how you feel called to respond.
