ABIDING in HOPE
National Housing Day Prayer Gathering
It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the housing crisis in our city. You don't have to go far in Hamilton to see neighbours who are without a home, and the scale of the need can leave us feeling discouraged and unable to help.
Yet, even in the face of these challenges, we see that God is at work. Good things are happening through organizations and individuals committed to making a difference, and we know that prayer is a powerful and hopeful response we can have as people of faith. Prayer reminds us that we are not alone in this work and that God cares deeply for our city and every person in it.
Join Indwell and the Greater Ontario House of Prayer this November as we lift up our neighbours and communities in prayer. In recognition of National Housing Day on Saturday, November 22, we're inviting you to a special two-part prayer event focused on bringing hope and light to those facing homelessness in our city.
Prayer Stations
In the afternoon of November 22, 1 to 7 pm from we invite you to come to GOHOP to pray for organizations that support people experiencing homelessness. This is a chance to prayerfully cover the people and the important work happening at places like Indwell sites, Helping Hands Street Mission, The Good Shepherd and other local support organizations. You can come for a few minutes or a few hours—whatever works for you! Let's cover our city in prayer, seeking God's guidance and provision for our most vulnerable friends and neighbours. We will provide a guide to praying for specific organizations in Hamilton and include specific things to pray about for each site. You will also be able to engage in some interactive prayer stations to help shape your prayers.
