Coventry Night Shelter.…please be praying 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.  There are also likely to be other overheads so any monetary donations would be welcomed if that is how you feel called to respond.

If  you can possibly help, the more volunteers we have, the less often each person needs to

volunteer. Please speak to Elke.
