Romans 10:14-15, ESV How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”
People who have never encountered the good news simply won’t hear it unless someone shares it with them. Pray for missionaries—people who are sent out by their churches to proclaim the good news among those who are lost. Ask God to remind them of the weighty task He has put before them and to remind them that they have “beautiful feet” as they carry the good news. Pray that God will show you how you can become more involved in the work He is doing around the world.
The three core values that the Olympics promote are friendship, respect, and excellence. Pray for Christian Olympians to model these attributes among their peers, giving them opportunities to introduce new friends to their greatest Friend who gave His life for them.
This year at the Paris Olympics, 81 Indian athletes have qualified to compete, including the national star Neeraj Chopra, who won gold in Tokyo in 2000. Indians have won a total of ten gold medals in any Olympic games. Pray for health and safety for each of these 81 individuals as they travel to France. Pray that they will encounter true Jesus-followers who will share the truth of the Gospel with them. Pray for their eyes to be opened to question the cultural assumptions that they have lived with and to question the religious traditions with which they were raised.
Use these resources to help pray specifically each day.
