In a video to promote the ten days of prayer, Archbishop Justin talks about his faith, why he\u2019s a Christian and why he is asking Christians around the world to join him in praying for more people to know Jesus Christ. He encourages Christians to #Pledge2Pray, and unite with thousands of others in praying for people to come to faith: \u201cJesus prayed at the Last Supper that we, those who follow him, might \u2018be one that the world might believe\u2019. We are invited to make a lasting difference in our nations and in our world, by responding to his call to find a deep unity of purpose in prayer.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n
\nThe Archbishop of Canterbury is encouraging Christians of all denominations to join in with a ten day global prayer initiative \u201cThy Kingdom Come\u201d from Ascension Day to Pentecost. What began last year as an invitation from the Archbishops of Canterbury and York to the Church of England has grown into an international and ecumenical call to prayer. Last year more than 100,000 people joined in and in 2017 it\u2019s expected to be on a bigger scale. Launching the initiative, which runs from 25 May to 4 June, Archbishop Justin said: \u201cWhen the wind of the spirit is blowing, hoist the sails and go with the wind. It\u2019s not a Church of England thing, it\u2019s not an Anglican thing, it\u2019s a Christian thing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
