About this Plan

Prayer Journey Through the Olympics

Circle the globe as we virtually travel to a different country each day during the 17 days of the Olympics. Join us in united, targeted prayer as we are visually guided to pray for the Games and for requests unique to each country. By faith, we anticipate strongholds broken, lives changed and nations set free as we band together with one heart and mind. Interpreted in ASL.
