Some reflections on ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ in previous years
We have been thrilled by the number of our churches who have participated in Thy Kingdom Come – some encouraging & thoughtful reflections below:
“I spent much time praying for people specifically when in our prayer room. I used the idea of writing their names on stones and after praying for each one I placed them in a small bag – which represented to me they were safe in God’s care ..”
“We have had 6 adults coming to faith – 4 of them were baptised in the summer and 6 confirmed in January.
“A 24 hour Vigil of Prayer was held when people slept overnight in church and services were held throughout the day and night.
“Perhaps the greatest benefits have been seeing the renewed dedication and awareness of the power of prayer and, in particular, feeling the importance of being part of a world-wide community of Christians praying together for God’s Kingdom.”
