Praying for Christian athletes at the Games

I had a good conversation with Steve McConkey of 4 Winds Christian Athletics last night. His ministry targets track and field athletes and he's got a real passion for these athletes [like Christian Taylor, pictured]. He rattles off their names like they're members of his family.
And they are. Members of God's family.
Take a look at WordNews.org's story on McConkey's ministry and the folks who are now taking center stage at the Olympic Games in London.
