What
We Do
The Sanctuary Foundation for Prayer touches many lives
- those searching for answers, those looking for more, and those who have
felt the call of Grace in their lives and long to go deeper. The Sanctuary
offers living water to thirsty souls, as we help people connect with the
Source of life, deepen and expand their relationship with God, and enjoy
the fruits of that communion in their lives, churches, families, and communities.
If
You....
- yearn for "more" more peace, love, joy
- are facing crisis, uncertainty, loss or pain
- wonder how to tell the difference between your will
and God's will
- are unwilling to settle for pat, shallow answers to
your questions of faith
- are in a position of spiritual leadership and want to
be accountable for your own growth
- know in your heart that certain things in your life must
change, then
. . . The Sanctuary may be the sanctuary you are seeking.
For twenty years this ministry has offered spiritual nurture
to a broad cross section of Christians of varied denominations and walks
of life. In the United States and abroad through the world wide net The
Sanctuary touches lives with its message of hope and peace in a chaotic
violent world. |

The Praying Life
Hearsay and Rumors about the Beloved
Excerpt
Harold, awestruck and elated, told me that he had seen God. He said that God showed him hidden mysteries. No, he was not psychotic. He was simply full of Holiness bigger than his britches. Divinity burst through his immature psyche in sparks and streaks. He scared most people, impressed others, and annoyed his pastor.

Who We Serve
A
variety of concerns bring people to the resources of The Sanctuary
Foundation.
|

|
|
Marge calls herself spiritual, but
not religious, yet she is looking for community, structure and accountability
for her practice of faith.
Jim, a busy pastor in a large church,
needs a place to be honest with God and himself as he discerns questions
of spiritual leadership and renewal.
Opal, a devout Catholic, is worn
out with caring for her spouse in declining health and needs a safe
place to reflect on her life in God and find strength and renewal. She
feels alone and cut off from supportive friends and relatives.
Susan comes bearing wounds from
the violence perpetrated by a religious institution and its pastor.
She is fearful and suspicious of “traditional” religious
institutions and resources.
Russell, a long time active church
member, is finding attending church a chore. He has lost his desire
to pray or read scripture and feels he is losing his faith.
Matt is in seminary and needs ongoing
vocational discernment and spiritual accountability in preparation for
ministry.
Alice is on disability for mental
illness. Regular sessions of spiritual guidance are an important piece
of her recovery and support network.
The river
of the water of life...flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb...On
either side of the river is the tree of life with its twelve kinds of
fruit, and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

22:2-3
