Up to 9,000 Christians gathered at Leyton Orient Football Stadium last Saturday for a day of prayer and worship for the London Olympics. The stadium is located next to the newly completed Olympic Park, which in just a few weeks' time will welcome athletes and thousands of spectators from around the world for the London 2012 Games. Light the Fire is the only stadium event of its kind taking place in Britain this year that is dedicated solely to praying for the Olympics. The event is brought together Christians from different churches across London and the UK to pray that God's purposes will be achieved during the Games. They are also prayed that people will come to know God's love as a result of the church outreach that will take place during the Games. Project Director, Rosy Ashley said, ‘God has given the church in the nation an amazing opportunity to share His love with the thousands of visitors flocking to the capital.’

Pray: for ‘Light h Fire’ and let us all add to their prayers for the Olympics over the coming weeks. (1 Ch.16:31)
