Psalm 22:27-28, ESV All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations shall worship before you. For kingship belongs to the LORD, and he rules over the nations.
Pray that the gospel will advance and “all the families of the nations” will worship before the One True God. Pray for believers who participate in and attend the games. Ask that He will allow them to be a part of bringing the good news of salvation to all the peoples of the earth who have come to this one location for this year’s Olympic games.
Paris wants to see a transformation in their communities through the Olympics. With 150,000 new jobs created and 5,000 community sporting facilities either renovated or installed, the Olympics is making significant changes for the people living in the Paris area. Pray for spiritual transformation of unchurched communities in the Paris region. The 16th arrondissement (or borough) has 167,000 people and only one small evangelical church plant.
Central Asian peoples encompass a wide array of ethnicities, including Turks, Kurds, Persians, and the diverse populations of the former Soviet countries. Their heritage and history are marked by richness and complexity. Moreover, they are almost entirely Muslim, with limited exposure to the gospel and very few churches. Let’s pray for divine opportunities for Central Asians in Paris during the Olympics to encounter believers and the gospel message. May they meet individuals who can share Scriptures and gospel resources with them, planting seeds in their hearts. Let’s petition the Lord for a mighty outpouring of His Spirit during this time in France, leading many Central Asians to embrace the truth of the gospel and find salvation in Jesus Christ, and that they will return to their homelands as ambassadors of eternal life.
