The Message Parlour, established on October 18, 2012, is a vibrant café dedicated to fostering community connections through prayer, worship, and outreach. It provides a safe space for diverse individuals, including entertainment workers, street children, and the transgender community, ensuring they are treated with dignity and respect. The Parlour collaborates with various organizations, facilitating projects that address issues like sexual exploitation and provide valuable support to those in need. Our ongoing mission is to shine a light in our community, and we continue to expand our reach with initiatives like the MP2 unit focused on local children.
