Ephesians 2:4-6, ESV But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
God is indeed rich in mercy. He has taken us from the death and brought us into life in Christ! Pray that the global church will be encouraged and motivated to share the good news as they live in the reality of new life. Take a minute and think about what it means when we read that God has “seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” Pray that this truth will transform you in amazing ways.
Paris is famous for its many cafés with outside seating, bakeries, and sweet shops. Pray that every day during the Olympics IMB missionaries and volunteers will have people willing to sit down at a café for conversations and consider the gospel message.
Kenya is known for producing fantastic long distance runners. You may not know that Kenya has a strong body of believers. They are squeezed by the multiplying false prosperity gospel on one side and expanding Islam on the other. Pray Hebrews 12:1 for the Kenyan believers and churches: “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.”
Use these resources to help pray specifically each day.
