Jesus, we thank You that MLA: Michelle Mungall is a member of our legislature and that she cares passionately about social justice issues. Lord, You said in Matthew 25:40 that Whenever we bring aid and compassion to someone overlooked or ignored that You are there and we are doing it to and for You. We thank You that Michelle has this same heart and ask that You would continue to align her with people and organizations who will partner with her in seeing a supernatural increase in resources committed to caring for those less fortunate in our province. We ask this in Your name, Jesus. Amen.
