Prayer

We look forward to journeying in prayer with you.

Through prayer, we long to see the incredible transforming power of God flow through our Armed Forces to advance His kingdom. We are blessed to have so many people from all walks of life join with us to partner in this exciting and growing area. There are many different ways to pray for the members of the Armed Forces.

Men

The AFCU Men’s Ministry is committed to advancing God’s kingdom through the Armed Forces, equipping men to pray, grow, serve, and reach out with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Through leadership training, retreats, and mentoring opportunities, the Men’s Ministry connects men in transformational relationships and unites them in Christ to impact our military communities.

Women

Our AFCU women’s ministry, Flourish, is passionately committed to advancing God’s Kingdom through the Armed Forces. We’re all about equipping women to pray, grow in faith, serve with joy, and reach out with the good news of Jesus Christ. Through our leadership training, enriching retreats, and dedicated mentoring opportunities, Flourish connects women in transformative relationships, uniting them in Christ to make a real and lasting impact on our military communities.

YAFCU - Younger AFCU members

YAFCU is a vibrant and active group, offering a space for young adults in their 20s and 30s to find genuine connection, fellowship, and discipleship. They’re a close-knit bunch, staying in touch through a lively WhatsApp community for daily chat and prayer support. In-person, they get stuck into a brilliant yearly Adventure Training weekend in Devon and a challenging walking weekend in the beautiful Lake District. For spiritual growth on the go, they also have dedicated online Bible study and prayer groups. It’s a fantastic community for younger members to find their spiritual home and grow together.

Chaplains

Chaplains play an absolutely vital role in the spiritual and pastoral care of our forces, and we so appreciate all they do. The AFCU family is committed to supporting them in their demanding work, both practically and prayerfully. We offer dedicated retreats, providing a safe space for them to rest, recharge, and find fellowship with one another. Furthermore, we are steadfast in our commitment to praying for them regularly and confidentially, lifting them up and asking for God’s strength, wisdom, and guidance as they serve our military community.

International

Military service can take you to all corners of the globe, and our commitment to you doesn’t end at the UK’s borders, with connections extending to other Military Christians Fellowships wherever they may be. We actively encourage and host gatherings and fellowships overseas, helping to build community and a sense of home far from home. We are also steadfast in our promise to pray for you – faithfully and regularly – knowing that prayer transcends all distance.

Youth

This year marks an incredible milestone for our AFCU family: the 100th anniversary of our Summer Camp! For a century, this camp has been a vibrant cornerstone of our youth ministry, a place where generations of young people have come together for fun, friendship, and life-changing encounters with Jesus. It’s more than just a week away; it’s a legacy of faith and fellowship, building a strong community that has shaped countless lives over generations.
