Thy Kingdom Come is a global Prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray, from Ascension to Pentecost, for more people to come to know Jesus.
What started in 2016 as an invitation from the Archbishops of Canterbury and York to the Church of England has grown into an international and ecumenical call to prayer.
During the 11 days of Thy Kingdom Come, it is hoped that everyone who takes part will:
- Deepen their own relationship with Jesus Christ
- Pray for five friends or family to come to faith in Jesus
- Pray for the empowerment of the Spirit that we would be effective in our witness.
This year, the organisers have introduced new daily themes for their resources. These themes focus on the character of God; 'Our Father in Heaven.'
A new sub-theme 'Living the Kingdom'.is being introduced. Participants are invited to go one step further and find ways to live the Kingdom.
There is a call for Christians to gather together (in-person where possible) and collaborate ecumenically locally, regionally and nationally - being a truly united witness to the world.
To find out more and for national resources including videos and more click here.- To engage with a variety of locally produced resources, including material for young people and children from our Board of Education, click here.
