Romans 12:1, ESV I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
What does it mean to be a living sacrifice to God? Pray for the global church, that believers will remember that they have been bought by the precious blood of Jesus. Pray they will live with open hands, presenting their lives as living sacrifices to God. Pray for believers at the Olympics, that they will be willing to give all that they are to Him for His glory. Pray that He will reveal to you anything in your life that you need to surrender to Him as you also seek to be a living sacrifice to God.
In the west of Paris, the renowned Roland-Garros Stadium will host tennis and boxing during the Olympics and the wheelchair tennis competitions during the Paralympics. Pray for a group of people to become Christ followers this summer in the west that could be the beginnings of a new church in this area where we have a missionary family living.
African vendors dangle Eiffel Tower keychains and beaded bracelets for tourists to buy. Stress and sweat mingle from both the vendor and the tourist. “Will I make a sale? Will I eat tonight?” thinks the vendor, while the tourist is worried about their wallet and phone. Pray for the hearts of the vendors to be open to the gospel, that they will have ears to hear the good news in the midst of a life that is too hard. Pray that the tourists who are believers will seize the opportunity to share the love and light that only comes from God. May many African vendors turn to God for salvation during the 2024 Paris Olympics.
