A Different Sanctuary

French authorities forced a series of evictions of asylum-seekers and migrants living in makeshift encampments around Calais today. No doubt you may have seen the pictures as they were broadcast as part of the News. So what is it that makes people risk everything to try and win British Citizenship? Maybe we have so much in this country that we take our way of life for granted. We are never afraid to speak our mind because we don't expect to be arrested. The thing is all around the world today people are looking for sanctuary. I believe genuine people looking for shelter and sanctuary should never be turned away. As I type these words I hear Grace in the Sangita Orphanage telling me she can't turn a child away who comes to her door looking for sanctuary. All this reminds me of the thousands of people who roam our streets at night who are looking for meaning and purpose to their lives. They may have homes to go to but they are looking for a different kind of sanctuarysanctuary. Will you remember in your prayers this new web based ministry that starts in the next couple of weeks. We're looking for congregations and individuals to partner us as we seek to take this right into the " Lions Den"
