Paris Olympics or Bust
Some of those guests and athletes will be coming from countries where sharing Jesus could land you in prison or even worse, the gallows.
Every four years, the world gathers to watch some of the best athletes in history compete in the Summer Olympics. For a couple weeks in July, almost every nation in the world will be represented on the streets of Paris. The Olympics organization estimates the number of guests to be around 2.3 to 3.1 million!
Some of those guests and athletes will be coming from countries where sharing Jesus could land you in prison or even worse, the gallows. But in Paris? Totally legal to share the love of Jesus with someone! It is a mission field 100% ripe for harvest!
And guest what? My outreach team will be answering that call. We were specially invited by YWAM to be one of the teams on the ground in Paris to minister the Good News.
To be honest, it wasn’t easy for us to get into a unified spot to accept the call to go. For several of our team members, the Olympics in Paris sounded chaotic and a lot of grueling work. Just last week, we took a vote, and after having a vision of what God was going to do there, I was the only one on the entire team to to answer “yes” to the invitation to go to Paris.
But that didn’t last long. A few days later, one of our leaders, Patricia, was knocked out by the Holy Spirit and as she laid on the floor, God spoke to here, “GO TO PARIS.”
So along with our school leader Cam, Patricia presented the option again yesterday afternoon. With all the sobriety we could muster, the entire team, save 1, voted to go to Paris and share the Gospel. I am praying that we get specific words of knowledge for those attending the Olympic Games and that God gives us creative ideas to reach many for Jesus.
Will you help fund my trip there? There are a few ways you can give.
Give a tax deductible gift of $500 or more through my church and write “Brooke Turner YWAM” in the memo.
