Pray

“The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.” (Ja. 5:16)

A Lamb Center Prayer:

 
Good and Faithful God,
 
Over the years, we have prayed for guidance during difficult times, but we also prayed remembering your faithfulness. When we had to move from our first location, and worried we would have to close our doors, you opened the door at Fairfax Circle at the last moment. When intense pressure was on us to move from that location, you opened our current location after several dead ends. On our journey towards permanent supportive housing, your steadfast faithfulness is evident.
We thank you for all our friends who supported The Lamb Center’s Hope and Future banquet. We are so blessed that construction has started on Beacon Landing.
 
We pray that during construction, you will keep everyone safe, and you will watch over every detail. We pray for the day when Beacon Landing’s doors open, and 54 of our most vulnerable neighbors will have a safe and warm place to lay their heads. With colder weather upon us, we pray you will keep our most vulnerable neighbors safe and warm. In that same light, we thank you for the hypothermia prevention program that will start again after Thanksgiving.
 
We trust it is your desire that our most vulnerable neighbors have a warm and safe place to lay their heads at night. We lift up all of those experiencing homelessness who have been displaced, and trust it is your desire that all your children have a place to lay their heads and be safe.
 
In Christ’s name we pray,
Amen

Did You Know?
According to The Lamb Center, approximately 60% of the people that they serve have an untreated mental illness or addiction. Until these underlying causes are addressed, these people can never escape poverty. Pray for Christ to work in their life and give them the power to overcome these root causes of homelessness. Pray also for God’s people to reach out and help them through this difficult journey of recovery.

Provide Meals Without Cooking!

Are you interested in providing lunch for our Lamb Center guests, but not interested in cooking? There is an opportunity for providing lunch in the form of gift cards. On days the regular lunch partners are unable to provide lunch TLC gets creative (and economical) by buying Costco pizza! 🍕

But did you know it cost about $200 to order 20 pizzas to feed our guests for one lunch service?!

We welcome donations of physical gift cards or electronic gift cards, which can be emailed to [email protected].
