The charity, which we are focusing on this month is the Leicester Welcome Project, based at St Martin's House, by the Cathedral.The project says ” We aim to provide practical help and support to asylum seekers in Leicester by means of drop in sessions, staffed by supported volunteers and in partnership with other agencies.”
We hope that the workers involved know that they are supported in prayer and that the physical needs of their clients are catered for.
Pray for the people who collect foodstuffs and resources for them and for the leadership; that they will trust the Lord to give them knowledge and understanding to ensure that people are treated fairly and with dignity. Living in the relative comfort of a wealthy country we can only guess at the hardships asylum seekers suffer. Pray that their anxiety for the future can be relieved.
