MONTHLY FOCUS

Each month we focus on a different mission partner, bringing you up to date news and a prayer you can use at home.

This month we will be focussing on:

Boaz Trust

Boaz Trust is a Manchester-based Christian organisation supporting people at various stages in the immigration process who are facing homelessness and destitution. It takes its name from an Old Testament character, Boaz, who welcomed Ruth, a foreigner, and showed her kindness. The charity's core belief is that people seeking safety deserve hospitality, not hostility, and this informs three main areas of work:

Providing safe accommodation
Offering personalised support, so people can meet their own basic needs, find their way around systems and get appropriate care and advice
Campaigning for a fairer, more compassionate asylum system and an end to destitution in Manchester and beyond.

Boaz is currently asking us to pray specifically for:

Protection for every person who has no choice but to sleep outside, even at this time of year, and access to a safe place to stay
More accommodation options for people moving on from Boaz houses
Reliable contractors to carry out work in Boaz houses
Hope and resilience for refugees affected by the Government’s proposals relating to ‘earned settlement’, which could significantly increase the number of years it takes for someone to be granted indefinite leave to remain in the UK.
