Into the Wild

Download all resources

The Salvation Army Prayer Network is launching 'Into the Wild', a territory-wide year long encounter adventure with God. Starting Pentecost (31 May), this journey of prayer will help people experience God's presence as never before, right where they are.

Each month will feature a story of someone in the Bible who encountered God in a life-changing way. Explore this through teaching resources, questions for discussion and prayer activities, alongside videos/podcasts and online gatherings for corporate prayer and worship.

God shows up in lockdowns. That’s what happened to the first disciples...Might this Pentecost be our moment, here in COVID-19 lockdown, to meet God in a new way and step into a future we never imagined?
