Matthew 28:18-20, ESV And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Jesus told those who follow Him to make disciples of all nations. Pray that the global church will be faithful in this command. Pray that they will be burdened for lostness and be given confidence that He is with them as they go and share the good news with those who have not yet heard.
The Olympians will be housed at the Olympic Village, where 60,000 meals will be served daily. Pray that over a meal Christian athletes and chaplains will share about Jesus, the Bread of Life, who can feed hungry souls.
If you are watching the sprinters, you better be paying attention. They fly by! There is a little more time with relays. There are a number of African countries to watch in the relays: Botswana, Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia, Côte d’Ivoire, and South Africa. As you watch the African runners, pray the Holy Spirit will move in their countries, opening hearts to the freedom found only through Jesus Christ.
Use these resources to help pray specifically each day.
