Thy Kingdom Come
Thursday 29th May to Sunday 8th June 2025
A global prayer movement inviting Christians around the world to pray for more people to come to know Jesus. Find out about all the ways we’re joining in at St Paul’s, and how you can get involved, below!
However you get involved, one of the key parts of the TKC movement is to choose 5 people who haven’t yet responded “yes” to God’s call and commit to praying for God’s Spirit to be at work in their life. Perhaps you could set a reminder on your phone, write their names down to stick on your fridge or include them as part of a daily prayer list to remind you to be praying for them over the 10 days.
Prayer Walking
Covering our local streets in prayer
Our friends at the West Cheltenham Local House of Prayer have opened up their Prayer Walking App for us to use for the duration of TKC, as we seek to cover our local areas of Cheltenham with blessing and intercession.
We’re encouraging the whole church to engage in some prayer walking at some point in the week around St Paul’s or the other areas in which we live, work or study, and to record your walks on the app. You might do this in pairs, as a household or in small groups - there is helpful information on the FAQs page below, and an introduction on How to Prayer Walk.
