This year’s Thy Kingdom Come is all about the presence of God through His spirit.

The God who is with us in the everyday – in the joys and sorrows of life (and everything in between) and the One who, through His spirit, longs to reveal Himself to those who do not yet know Him.

There are many Bible stories which demonstrate God’s transformative presence, power and love at work in the lives of people and places – from Ruth, Gideon and Elijah to the story of the early church who waited for the promised Holy Spirit to come.

Our hope is that as we pray for our five people, they will also experience the life-changing love of God and choose to follow Him.

Thy Kingdom Come is a global ecumenical prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray 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.
