From the IMB:
"The 2026 Winter Olympics in Northern Italy is not just a sporting event. It is a massive missional opportunity. For two weeks, the nations of the world will gather, giving us an extraordinary, time-bound chance to share the gospel.
Thousands of visitors from over 90 nations, including those currently closed to traditional missionary access, will be gathered in one single, high-concentration location.
With your help, we will deploy a fully-equipped team of IMB missionaries and local Italian partners ready to share the gospel with travelers and locals during the Olympic games.
This is the crucial strategic window.
Your gift today ensures we are fully prepared to share the gospel when the world arrives in Northern Italy."
