PRAY BOLDLY:
ON EARTH AS IN HEAVEN
NATIONAL GATHERING 2026
Glasgow - Friday 20th – Saturday 21st November 2026
‘Pursuing justice without praying is like trying to cut grass with scissors rather than a lawn mower.’ – Donna Barber
Do you long to see God’s Kingdom come, on earth as in heaven?
If so, this space is for you.
Join us in Glasgow for the Just Love National Gathering 2026 and become part of a movement of passionate believers in Jesus who refuse to witness the injustice that is tearing our world apart and do nothing.
We’re gathering to pray – to ask the God of justice to let His kingdom come on earth, today.
As Just Love, we are building a network of thousands pursuing justice in the way of Jesus. Over three days at Adelaide Baptist and Findlay Memorial Church in Glasgow, you can expect:
❋ A weekend set apart to connect with hundreds of others who are pursuing justice in the way of Jesus
Join us to be challenged and encouraged in your faith, to build rhythms of prayer that can sustain and fuel a lifelong pursuit of justice, and to connect with hundreds of others running after the same cause.
❋ Times of collective prayer, worship and intercession for our nation and our world
❋ In-depth teaching, workshops & breakouts on our Justice Practice Pray Boldly, all about active dependence on God, lamenting what is wrong and interceding for God’s kingdom to come, on earth as in heaven
❋ Whether you've been around Just Love for years or are totally new to our movement, we'd love for you to join us!

Until 2030, we are using our annual National Gatherings to walk step-by-step through Just Love's six Justice Practices:
Change Structures
Serve Humbly
Pray Boldly ← this year
Love Widely
Give Deeply
Live Lightly
Last year we gathered in London to dig into what it means to Serve Humbly, submitting our time, work and vocation to God for the sake of others. This year, we're focussing on Pray Boldly. We will spend a weekend exploring how we pray, why we pray, and why building a deep life of prayer is indispensable in our pursuit of justice.
The way of Jesus is not about independence. Instead, it invites us into a life of both dependence and interdependence. Prayer, at its most basic, is a recognition that we are not ultimately in control. It is a yielding of our will to God's, and a participation with God in his mission to renew all things. To Pray Boldly is not to pray loudly or perfectly — it is to pray honestly, persistently, and in deep union with the Father.
This year we'll be diving deep into two forms of prayer that are essential to our pursuit of justice: intercession — standing in the gap, contending for God to move — and lament — bringing our grief and our rage honestly before God, and trusting that He meets us there.
‘Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.’
Jeremiah 29:12-13

This event is open to anyone, of any age, stage or denomination. If you love Jesus and care about justice, this event is for you.
-
Our Justice Practices are six practical, Biblically-rooted ways we make the idea of 'pursuing justice' more tangible.
The Practice of 'Pray Boldly' is all about cultivating a life of deep, honest prayer — prayer that doesn't shy away from intercession or lament, that acknowledges our dependence on God, and that fuels rather than replaces our action in the world. It is about knowing that we cannot save ourselves, and aligning our will with God's as he works to renew all things
