Praying for Change

The Lancaster Foundation’s home is also a House of Prayer and Retreat Centre. We believe that prayer should be at the heart of everything that we do and want to ensure that we support the projects we engage with both financially and spiritually. We have a regular rhythm of prayer and worship at Turret House and actively engage in praying for the needs of our Partners.

We love partnering with the Lancaster Foundation because they have placed prayer and relationship at the very heart of all they do.  These values shine through and make the relationship fruitful and lifegiving.  We’re so grateful for their support.

Apart from their invaluable funding, I have been touched by the love, care and support I have personally received from the Lancaster Foundation. They have been a friend, an encourager and a mentor helping me fix my eyes on Jesus in it all and through it all. I am forever thankful!
