Thy Kingdom Come – Prayer Event

Thy Kingdom Come prayer event, 13^th-23^rd May 2021

A group based in Irvine, as part of 24-7 Prayer Scotland, are calling it Thy Kingdom Come – Homecoming and are attempting to inspire churches across North Ayrshire to come together in unbroken 24/7 prayer throughout the ten days between Ascension and Pentecost, having a joint, ecumenical “virtual” prayer room with an on-line sign up for the 10 days between 13^th and 23^rd May. As part of the 24-7 Ayrshire prayer team, we would like to highlight the prayer event “Thy Kingdom Come” starting soon.

This is now an annual event and the prayer focus this year is that:

1) those who do not yet know Jesus to encounter Him and

2) those who have lost their faith, especially in the hardships of this past year, to come back home. We are each being encouraged to pray for 5 people.

Sign up sheet and resources

They have set aside the 10 day block and are asking people to sign up to pray for one hour over the period from 9am on the 13^th May (Ascension) to 9am on Sunday 23^rd May (Pentecost). This is done through the National 24/7 website. There are loads of resources to encourage and help people to pray on the above websites. You are directed to a range of these ideas and resources via a special virtual prayer wall  which has ideas and links for individuals and groups to use.

Prayer Gatherings

You are invited to join together for half an hour of prayer each day on Zoom. This will take place at 2pm on the Thursdays and at 7.30pm on the other days. Click here for the Zoom link.

There are lots of resources for families, for youth and for use in churches, and it would be great to hear of other activities which have been organised. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to get in touch with the local organisers.
