Thy Kingdom Come is a global prayer movement, which invites Christians around the world to pray during the 11 days from Ascension to Pentecost (30th May – 9th June 2019). What started out as an invitation from the Archbishops of Canterbury and York in 2016 to the Church of England has grown into an international, interdenominational call to prayer for more people to know Christ.

65 different denominations in 114 countries around the world have taken part in the initiative. Since its inception it has been celebrated at Beacon events in churches and Cathedrals around the country. This year in London it is in Trafalgar Square.

All Christian denominations and their church leaders will be taking part, including: Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby; Archbishop of Westminster Vincent Nichols; Archbishop Angaelos, General Bishop in the UK of the Coptic Orthodox Church; Bishop of London. Sarah Mullally; Pastor Agu Irukwu, the Pentecostal President and Revd Trey Hall, Director of Evangelism and Growth for the Methodist Church of Great Britain.
