For the launch of Leeds Lent Prayer Diary 2021, Thomas Jay Oord asks us to “imagine hope as a verb that calls all of us to join with a God who empowers and inspires us for the good work God wants us to do.”
We ask for your prayers for the work of each project to bring new signs of life, hope and transformation to the lives of individuals as well as to the city.
