Thy Kingdom Come #toJesus

As part of the follow-up to the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture last year around the world…and in preparation for May later this year… we pause as God’s people this weekend and consider the theme again of #toJesus

Take a few minutes now – or when you are practically able – with God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit – and spend time in prayer with Him – naming 3 people you want to come to faith in Jesus.

As I name before you
Those I am longing
To come to Jesus.
In His name I ask
Amen
