Turn the Battle Prayer Resources Launched

by

Turn The Battle has garnered support from HTB and the HTB network, Evangelical Alliance, Assemblies of God, New Testament Church of God, Pioneer, Fusion, Catalyst, 24/7 Prayer, Prayer Storm, World Prayer Centre, Premier Radio, UCB, God TV and many other local churches, movements and prayer communities.

To get involved, save the dates 21 – 23 January 2026, and visit turn​the​bat​tle​.uk to access downloadable resources for your congregation and to find out more.

Why Now?

We sense a decisive moment — a spiritual battle at the gate — calling the Church to respond with urgency, unity, and humility.

This is not a conference or event, but a national movement of prayer, open to all. We believe we are being called to three things:

  1. A Fresh Commitment to Prayer
    Seeking God with hunger and humility.

  2. A Fresh Commitment to Consecration
    Returning to holiness and wholehearted obedience.

  3. A Fresh Commitment to Bold Living
    Courageous witness and living out the gospel with power and clarity.

Elijah – New Book on Influential Prophet

by

 

Join us for the official launch of Elijah: A Pilgrimage of Healing — a moving and insightful journey into the life of a prophet who, beneath the mantle of miracles, whirlwind and fire, was “a man just like us, in need of healing, encouragement and support.”

With compassion and depth, author Suzanne Owen reveals how solitude, struggle and surrender shaped Elijah’s life — and how his story becomes an invitation for us to encounter God’s restoration in our own pilgrimages of healing.

📅 Friday, 28th November
🕝 2:30 PM

Come and enjoy an uplifting afternoon featuring:
✨ Meet the Author
✨ Author Interview
✨ Book Signing — bring your copy if you’ve already purchased one!
✨ Exclusive launch-day discount on all Elijah books — perfect for Christmas gifting 🎁
✨ Tea, coffee & cake

Whether you’re curious, inspired, or simply in need of encouragement, this event is a beautiful opportunity to connect, reflect, and celebrate a story that speaks to the heart.
