‘Thy Kingdom Come’

The tenth annual ‘Thy Kingdom Come‘ prayer novena will take place from Ascension Day (Thursday 29 May) to Pentecost (Sunday 8 June).

‘Thy Kingdom Come’ is an ecumenical prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray from Ascension to Pentecost for more people to come to know Jesus. Since its inception in May 2016, Thy Kingdom Come has grown into a movement which unites more than a million Christians in prayer, in nearly 90% of countries worldwide, across 85 different denominations and traditions. In 2025, Christians across the globe are encouraged to pray that God’s Spirit will work in the lives of five people who have not responded with their ‘Yes’ to God’s call.
