Sanctuary Youth Center

This week our missions prayer is for our local missions partner Sanctuary Youth Centre. Based in the basement of Church of Our Lord in downtown Victoria they serve as a safe place for some of the most vulnerable people in our city - street entrenched and at-risk youth between the ages of 14 and 22.

Here is an update from them:

"We are delighted and thankful for a new staff member - Andrea. She is a librarian and brings a lot of administrative experience and organization to SYC. We are grateful!!

The recent day excursion to the farm to provide a different experience for the youth went really well.

Darin Reimer (our Executive Director) has been asked to meet with the Ministry of Mental Health and Addictions to discuss the current state of street entrenched youth who may have few to no resources and may be too young to make sound decisions.

We pray for wisdom for Darin in the items he presents and discusses with them. We are working hard to engage the youth in joining us in healthier life-giving activities like farm day, going hiking, outdoor sports etc... please play that the youth will be interested in these activities and will join in.

We want to encourage you that your prayers are not in vain."
