“Our team is currently working with local Canadian National Baptist churches to train and equip them for evangelism projects taking place during the June World Cup events. We are calling these projects ‘Hope for the North.’ Many of these churches are relatively new, and their members are continuing to grow in their faith and in following Christ. Please pray for the leaders of these churches—that they would not become overwhelmed by the many activities and responsibilities surrounding the World Cup events, but instead see this as a precious opportunity to encourage their people to be the hands and feet of Jesus as they go into their neighborhoods to share the good news with those around them. Pray that the people they encounter will be open to hearing God’s Word, experiencing His love, and becoming followers of Christ. Pray also that the Greater Toronto Area will be transformed through the obedience of these churches as they faithfully share the gospel.”
