1 Peter 3:18, ESV For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit.
Jesus came to usher in the kingdom of God. He made a way for us to be brought back into relationship with God. This is good news! Pray that, during this year’s Olympic games, many people would have the opportunity to hear that the kingdom of God is upon us and that Jesus has made a way, through His blood, for us to be made right with God.
Well-known landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower, will be the backdrop of several of the games. Paris plans to highlight their historical monuments. Paris has several beautiful ancient church buildings, but most Parisans have never heard the gospel. France now considers itself secular, and although religion is allowed, it is not encouraged. Our on-the-ground IMB team is working to plant new church in multiple areas of the city. Pray that vibrant new congregations would fill the space between old empty cathedrals.
Sri Lanka has been preparing for the Summer Olympics with their “Road to Paris” program. Fifty-eight athletes are training to compete in the Olympic and Paralympic games. Please pray for these athletes that as they train they would come face to face with the One who holds their future. Please pray that they would see the gospel as truth and choose to follow Christ with as much passion as they use in their training.
Use these resources to help pray specifically each day.
