Ghana’s victory over the United States in Saturday’s second round match has been a huge boost to the spirits of South Africans, who were terribly disappointed when Bafana Bafana failed to go through at the end of the group matches. Africans around the continent are pinning their hopes on The Black Stars of Ghana, and the Ghanaians have massive support from every corner of Africa.

Intercede for Christian athletes on the Ghanaian team to handle well the pressure that comes with high expectations. Pray they will have many opportunities to share that being faithful to Jesus is far more important than winning the World Cup.
