Will you help us bring the Light to the darkness?

                                                           
 
 
 

Dear Friend, 

One of my favorite parts of the Olympic Opening Ceremony is watching the torch make its dramatic entrance, lighting up the entire stadium. The Olympic torch is a powerful, historic symbol; for a moment, it displays the nations of the world unifying around one magnificent, flickering light.

But eventually, the fire goes out.

This temporary symbol of human striving is a profound contrast to the true source of unity and hope we carry: the Light of the World. For two weeks, the world seeks fleeting unity in sports, but we know the only message that truly unites people from every nation, tribe, and language is the gospel of Jesus Christ.

As millions gather in Northern Italy, they stand in deep spiritual darkness. Our team is preparing to shine the permanent, life-changing light, grounded in the promise that "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it" (John 1:5).

To seize this unprecedented gospel opportunity, we need your immediate help. The 2026 Winter Olympic games are only three weeks away. A gift today ensures gospel workers are on the ground and ready to reach the lost when the world arrives.

The nations are coming to us, and we must have every missionary, Bible, and outreach tool ready to deploy before the Olympic Games begin. The cost to meet this massive global gathering is $100,000. But the impact is eternal.

Your gift ensures gospel workers are on the ground, equipped, and supporting local European partners to introduce eternal hope to athletes and visitors from every corner of the globe through personal conversations, Bibles, and Gospel of John booklets.

Will you help us reach the world with the real Light of the World?

With a gift of $50, you can provide 50 Gospel of John booklets. Your gift will put God's Word in the hands of travelers and their loved ones back at home.

Give today.

In Christ,
