Romans 6:23, ESV For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
“The wages of sin is death.” Take a minute and process what that means for those who have never heard the good news that Jesus came to save them from death and bring them into the kingdom of God. Thank Him for making a way for you to hear the good news, and pray that He will be at work in the hearts of those who have never had the opportunity to hear. Pray that they will see their brokenness and look for answers in Jesus.
The Olympic symbol of the five colorful interlocking rings was first used in the 1920 Olympics to inspire unity by using colors of the country flags in the five continents represented. Pray for the Olympics to inspire Southern Baptists and other believers around the world to come together in unity and have a clear vision of a multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language, knowing and worshipping our Lord Jesus Christ (Revelation 7:9).
Many of the Ukrainian athletes compete with fresh reminders of the ongoing trauma and tragedy of war that has gripped their country since 2022. But amid such brokenness, the gospel opportunity is immense. Among displaced Ukrainians, churches are being planted and strengthened in the new countries where they have settled. In Ukraine, new initiatives like the Generation Church Planting School have emerged. These schools are working to train local believers to plant healthy churches. Pray that these individuals will faithfully focus on training and implementing what they have learned and live faithfully, boldly, proclaiming the greatness of God. Pray for digital engagement strategies across Europe to provide gospel access to many displaced Russian and Ukrainian speakers and for more digital responders for this engagement effort.
