Here's how you can get involved with Thy Kingdom Come

Have you considered how you will pray with us as we unite for Thy Kingdom Come?

Our wonderful Faith and Church Relations Manager, Ish Lennox, has crafted a whole host of ideas of how you can get involved with Thy Kingdom Come through Mothers' Union. You are invited to pray Thy Kingdom Come however best represents your language of prayer. This is a global movement that spans 85 denominations and traditions, uniting over a million Christians across the world. Prayer is the heartbeat of Mothers' Union and our work is centred on this premise. 

Prayer Stations: 

Here are just a couple of ways you can pray for those around the corner and around the world. 

Modern-day slavery, also known as human trafficking, is the exploitation of human beings and their bodies. More humans are trapped in slavery than ever before in human history, estimated to be well over 50 million. To put that into perspective, that stands at 5.4 people out of every 1000. 

As followers of Christ, we are called to stand against oppression and advocate for justice. Reflect on how you can actively engage in the fight against modern slavery. Consider joining one of Mothers’ Union’s Communities of Interest to help raise awareness, and advocate for policy changes. Pray for courage and boldness to speak out against injustice and to be a voice for the voiceless. Ask God to empower you to take practical steps toward combating modern slavery in your community and beyond.

We work tirelessly against domestic abuse, in every form that it takes, by raising awareness and standing with women and girls as we call out for #NoMore1in3. But we also need to pray. Millions are facing abuse, from the spouse of the church leader, to the mum at the school gates to the isolated colleague. You can create an origami dove as part of our RISE UP campaign, and use it to pray for those affected by domestic violence. Pray all will find full healing and restoration, for their perpetrators to receive justice and for courage for survivors to walk away from their abusers. 

You can find the rest of our interactive prayer station ideas here. 

You can also take part in a prayer walk with others from your branch or community as you pave the pavements and pray for God to transform the lives of those around you. 

Pray for Five, Invite One: 

Our theme for Thy Kingdom Come this year is to pray for five, invite one. Together, we are praying for five friends, family or colleagues to come to know the love of Jesus for themselves, and to invite one of them to an event at Mothers' Union, welcoming them into a lifelong community built on faith and fellowship. 

We would love to see how you are engaging with Thy Kingdom Come this year. Send us your stories and photos to communications@mothersunion.org or tag us on social media @officialmothersunion
