Israel has sent 47 athletes to compete in the summer Olympic games in Rio de Janeiro!  While Israeli athletes face intense discrimination and prejudice at these games, we are hopeful that they will represent Israel with pride and honor.  Please pray first and foremost for the Lord’s protection over the athletes and all the Israelis who will be present at the games.  Please also pray that they will represent Israel on the world stage with honor and dignity, despite the criticism and prejudice against them.  Lastly, please pray that the Lord will frustrate all plans of the enemy to bring harm to anyone at the games and for safety of all who will be there.
