The 2012 London Olympics begins in one week. Thousands of athletes have begun to converge on the Olympic Village, a huge complex that will be turned into several thousand apartments following the Games.
Many of us would love to visit London and watch some of the competition. My wife would want to watch swimming and diving. I would enjoy those and add the track events. Most of us won't be there but hundreds of millions will watch on television.
Will you join me in praying for the thousands of Christians who will be there - perhaps especially for Christian athletes. Some are well know for their faith. We need to pray that these Christian brothers and sisters will model Christian character and behaviour under the pressure of these days. We should pray that they will be sensitive to opportunities to talk about life after the Olympics and eternal life.
We should also pray for any and all Christian witnessing that will go on in London outside of the Olympic Village. Christian witness through acts of service in Jesus name or in direct sharing of the Good News. Christian witness to tourists and to locals.
May the Olympic occasion be life changing for many - eternal life changing!
