Malachi 1:11, ESV “For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name will be great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering. For my name will be great among the nations,” says the LORD of hosts.
Take a minute and thank God that He has promised to make His name great among the nations. He is the one doing the work, but He allows us to be a part of it! Pray with confidence and gratitude, knowing that He is bringing people into His kingdom every day. Pray that He will use this year’s Olympics and outreach opportunities to allow many people to hear and receive the good news.
The Catholic church has deep roots in Paris. Pray for new friendships this summer with Catholics who are willing to study the Bible together with IMB missionaries and short-term workers. Pray that they will discover grace through the gift of salvation through Jesus.
Handball is a high-impact sport where two teams of seven players each compete on a court 40m x 20m. Players score goals by moving the ball down the field and throwing it forcefully into the goal. Players can toss, catch, dribble, or launch the ball using their hands, arms, heads and even knees. But at no time can the ball come in contact below the knee. This sport is popular in Europe where it originated. France, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Hungary, Netherlands, Slovenia, and Germany will compete in handball during the 2024 Paris Olympics. Please pray for gospel access for these athletes and those who have come to watch them. Pray for open hearts and new gospel receptivity in these cold climate and historically “Christian” nations where there is very little gospel witness today.
Use these resources to help pray specifically each day.
