Country: United States of America
Details: While turkeys and Christmas trees are currently on the minds of many throughout the U.S., visions of soccer balls and World Cup victories are dancing in the heads of millions worldwide. FIFA predicts that 1 million people will attend a live match of the World Cup tournament and that more than 3 billion people will tune in for televised matches. In anticipation of the festivities, Ambassadors Football created a fun line-up of World Cup resources that can be used in football and children’s ministries around the world. Please pray that as they share these resources with connections around the globe, they are used throughout the World Cup to direct people to Christ. Pray also that interest in their new curriculum, Toward the Goal, will grow as they seek to use it to help children and their families develop a biblical worldview. Jamaica (Caribbean). Population: 2,834,321, Believers: 28.0%. The country finds itself in the midst of moral and social collapse. Powerful South American drug cartels, using Jamaica as a transshipment point for cocaine destined for the USA, wield great influence. As part of an anti-corruption drive, the government has invited greater participation from churches. Pray that government and church leaders may reject compromise. Pray for courage, moral integrity, and determination to turn the country back to God. From Operation World DVD-ROM 2010, www.operationworld.org
