After much anticipation of this Beijing Olympic with its massive construction, planning and promotion,finally the countdown is nearer. Who would expect 30 years ago that this can happen in China after years of “cold war” between democratic fighters and communist ideologist. Instead of defending and expanding the idelogy, today they competes in a different war. On August 8, many will  fight for the glory  for a different reason in the sports arenas…

The Beijing Olympic 2008 theme ” One World One Dream” reflects the universal values of the Olympic spirit — Unity, Friendship, Progress, Harmony, Participation and Dream.The theme explains that we all belong to the same world and share the same aspirations and dreams.

How about Christian point of view? Is it a  incredible platform for harvest? Since the International Olympic Committee awarded the city of Beijing the 2008 Olympic Games, many Christian Olympians and groups have been waiting and preparing with both concern and excitement.

 Recently I read an article saying the Chinese government has placed a ban on foreign missionaries and will only allow Chinese chaplains approved by the government into the Olympic Village. Sounds like a blocked goal but do God really limits His plans? Controversy sparked when Franklin Graham, son of evangelist Billy Graham, told reporters in China that Christians should not evangelize during the Olympics because it is against the laws of the country. But some dint agree…they say this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity not only to compete, but also to have a lasting impact for the gospel.

Whatever it is…we know these brother and sisters either way is demonstrating the love of God so that many more will be saved. Maybe we will not have the privilege to be there or having to face the controversy but we can pray from wherever we are.

Lets pray for ….

1. Every Christian bro & sis in China to be lead by the Holy Spirit to witness to others.
2. Every athlete and official to feel fulfilled through giving of their best efforts
3. Every athlete and official will enjoy the Games through fair-play and mutual respect
4. Every athlete and official will be blessed with well-facilitated Games
5. All will experience a touch of world peace and unity of purpose

“May the blessed  glory of God fill China”
