What is Prayer Day?

On April 11, 2025, we will intercede as a nation for the sports community. Every minute of the day will be covered in prayer as we cry out to God for a MOVEMENT of Competitors for Christ.

WHY Are People Praying in 2025?

Chris H.
(CrossFit - California)

Prayer is absolutely essential for the sports community. Here are three reasons I pray regularly:
1. The more success I personally see and the more I get in the spotlight, it keeps me humble and aligned with God’s heart and desires.
2. Prayer invites the Holy Spirit into my ministry and platform to produce fruit that lasts for eternity.
3. Prayer reaches beyond my human limitations to glorify God and have kingdom impact!

Cole G.
(Journey - North Carolina)

Praying over the sports community is so important. Prayer is how we communicate with God & grow in our faith. It’s important we pray for the athletes in the sports community to rely on their faith, stand firm in their identity, and for them to use their sport as a way to impact the world for Jesus.

Mike Z.
(Lacrosse - Virginia)

God knows our communities are in need of an outpouring of hope and freedom from the difficulties we face. Our calling as believers is to lead others into this place as influencers in our local area. The sports world is one of the greatest areas to pose this influence. With the guidance of Pure Encouragement, let's partner in Christ to pray for leaders to rise up and help  our communities receive the hope and freedom found only in Christ!

Marc B.
(Hockey - Vermont)

It is easy to put our respective sport first and to drift off the right path. Being an elite athlete is demanding and requires time and focus. Establishing a strong foundation in Christ and praying for each other is of utmost importance. It has pushed me to be a better teammate by shifting my focus from myself to the team and what others need.
