The Invitation, July 11, 2024
As the 2024 Paris Olympic Games (July 26 – August 11) draw near, YWAM’s teams in Paris ask for your prayers. Many YWAM teams will come to Paris to share the message of Jesus with visitors from many nations. YWAM missionaries in Paris report seeing more openness, salvations, healings, and fruitfulness in their city than ever before. According to one YWAMer, “Paris seems ready for an incredible move of God.” A century ago, during the previous 1924 Olympics in Paris, Olympian Eric Liddell chose not to compete in the 100-meter run because the race was scheduled on a Sunday. Although it was his strongest event, he held to his conviction. Many have been inspired by his devotion.
Please join us in prayer that people will remember moves of God at the 2024 Olympics, not just the medals. Please take a moment to pray right now and also join us on July 11 for our prayer day for YWAM’s prayer initiative called The Invitation.
- Pray for gospel impact. Pray that we can share the message of Jesus with visitors from every nation represented in Paris during the Olympics and that the fruit may multiply in individuals’ home nations. Also pray that the Word bears fruit in many hearts and minds.
- Pray for safety. Pray that no threats of terrorism would come to fruition and that no act of violence or destruction would take place. Also pray that every person would be safe during the games.
- Pray for youth empowerment. Ask Jesus that during this time young people will boldly share the radical love of Jesus with others. Pray that youth would be on fire for the Lord and would have a growing passion for missions.
- Pray for church unity and collaboration. Pray for greater unity among French and international churches, that they would work together in collaborative projects that serve the city of Paris and the nations with the love of Jesus.
- Pray for city-wide impact. YWAM Paris Connect hopes to impact all areas of Parisian society strategically with the gospel of Jesus, promoting change and transformation through service and compassion.
