- Details: Pray for the small group of Ambassadors Football staff who will travel to Asia March 5-14 to meet with the leaders of different denominations. They will discuss ministry strategy to reach primary school children with the Word of God through soccer. Pray that God will bless their travels and meetings and ultimately that many children would come to faith in Jesus, greatly impacting the next generation. The doors are also now open for ministry in Liberia, and they plan to launch Ambassadors Football there in April. Pray for the necessary funding for the trip and equipment for the new program. Pray for the right individuals to be trained as coaches and Bible teachers. New Zealand (Pacific). Population: 5,269,939 Believers: 18.2%. Christianity is on a precipitous decline in New Zealand. The largest group is now “no religion” at 48%. New Age spirituality focuses on individualism and nature and attracts many Kiwis (New Zealanders) who feel disappointed by the church. But 24/7 prayer rooms and other recent prayer groups prove that God still moves in the Kiwi church! The recent decline is more a case of the pruning of nominal Christianity—what remains is much more alive. Pray that God will pour his Holy Spirit into the church and draw back the many who have left.
