Ephesians 1:4b-6, ESV We should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.
Pray that missionaries will be encouraged as they remember that God had a plan for them even before they were born! In hard days, pray that God will remind them that He saved them, along with all believers, and adopted them as sons and daughters for the purpose of His will. Pray this truth will keep them steadfast and will overflow in their speech as they share the good news with those who have never heard.
Round-the-clock medical care and chaplains will be available to athletes at Olympic village. Pray for the chaplains and the Christian doctors who will be ministering to athletes. Pray that they will point the athletes to Jesus as the only way to know God and as the One who can meet their deepest needs.
While Iran is sending a delegation of 32 athletes to the 2024 Paris Olympics, other Iranian athletes have found a different path for their Olympic career. Ten men and four women from Iran were selected as delegates for the 2024 Refugee Team. The Refugee Team will also include three male and two female Afghan athletes. Athletes on the Refugee Team have refugee status in their host countries. With easier access and religious freedom in their host countries, refugee athletes have the opportunity to hear the good news of God’s saving grace through Jesus. Pray for curiosity to learn about Christianity, divine encounters with believers who share the gospel, and churches dedicated to reaching lost refugees around them. Pray many refugees will come to know Jesus and will then share their transformation with family and friends back in Iran and Afghanistan.
