Dear Friend,

In our experience, we've seen time and again that when the nations gather, God
moves. During the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, we saw this incredible truth
firsthand.

The IMB had missionaries present at the games, partnering directly with local
Parisian believers for outreach and follow-up. Their ministry team — using
strategic tools like handing out Olympic pins to spark conversations and
distributing Bibles and theGospel of John — saw tremendous fruit.

As one gospel worker shared: "We had the opportunity to share the gospel with
people from all over the world, such as Germans, Australians, Thai and British.
The world came to Paris, and God used this opportunity for our church team to
share the gospel with the nations."

In just a few short weeks, teams were able to have thousands of gospel
conversations. Many came to faith, and the local church was energized to follow
up!We have the opportunity again this winter.

The 2026 Winter Olympics creates a rare, strategic window to fulfill the Great
Commission without crossing a single border. Thousands of athletes and
spectators from over90 nations — including many otherwise closed to
missionaries — will gather in one place.

We simply cannot miss this chance to be present and watch God work again.

As we enter the final days of our campaign, we invite you to prayerfully
consider giving a gift to ensure missionaries are on the ground at the Olympics
when the nations arrive.Will you give today to help us reach the lost at the
2026 Winter Olympics?
