Pray for Christians in Sport

More than anything else, we rely on prayer. Will you join the effort?

Throughout the month of February we are praying for the elite world of sport with our 'Behind Closed Doors' campaign. Sign up below to get these and future prayers sent straight to your inbox, or download Prayer Mate and get them on your phone.

Due to the changing landscape around Covid-19, our weekly prayer email or PrayerMate is currently the best way to keep up to date and to pray effectively for the work of Christians in Sport. In due course, we hope to return to a physical prayer diary of daily prayers. In the meantime, please sign up for our weekly prayer email or PrayerMate below.
