Join a GLOBAL Wave of Prayer: Thy Kingdom Come 2017Brian Heasley - 5 May 2017
"I cannot remember in my life anything that I’ve been involved in where I have sensed so clearly the work of the Spirit”
- Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby
From 25 May to 4 June, families and churches all over the world are joining a global wave of prayer for their communities to come to know Jesus.
Thy Kingdom Come is a prayer movement that started last year by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York in the UK. Together, they invited those in the Church of England to pray between Ascension and Pentecost for more people to come to know Jesus.
However, the response spread beyond just one Church community; all over the world Christians from many streams of the global Church gathered to pray.
What began as a call to prayer in the Church of England has become an international and ecumenical movement.
We are so excited to be part of Thy Kingdom Come and serving the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, who recently said about it: “I cannot remember in my life anything that I’ve been involved in where I have sensed so clearly the work of the Spirit.”
Wherever you are in the world, and whatever Church you’re part of - join with Thy Kingdom Come and be part of this global wave of prayer:
