Ottawa Innercity Ministries

The Summer BBQ for our street friends is a special part of outreach in June ☀️

Sharing a meal together creates opportunities for conversation, encouragement, and meaningful connection with our neighbours in need in downtown Ottawa 💙

The moments of connection during the BBQ often make a real difference for our street friends 😊 For them, this traditional BBQ meal is a luxury they often don't get to enjoy

We invite you to take a moment today to pause and pray 🙏

Please pray for a street friend who has experienced the loss of both a mother and a home. Lift this individual up in prayer, asking for God’s comfort during this time of grief and for the provision of a safe and permanent place to stay 💙

When the good news keeps coming, we can't help but rejoice! 💙

Just before Christmas, a Veteran hit rock bottom. He had just lost his mother, was living in a precarious rooming house, and was struggling to get his operational stress injuries assessed.

But this Veteran is a fighter, and eventually, he found housing, and we rejoice with him! It’s a meaningful reminder of the impact that support, community and perseverance can have in someone’s life 😊

A little behind the scenes from our Innercity Arts program 🎨

Our youth have been spending time creating meaningful artwork for our fundraising auction on June 5th, while also building confidence, creativity and connection along the way.

In the middle of hardship and suffering, God is still at work 💙

This week, Jordan reflects on the challenges of ministry and the reminder found in Scripture that the gospel cannot be stopped. Even through difficult circumstances, God continues to use ordinary acts of obedience to bring hope and truth to others.

It's a meaningful reflection on faith, perseverance, and the impact of small acts of kindness and service 🙏
