Olympics, Pin Trading and the Gospel

The International Mission Board (IMB) is ready to share the hope of Christ with the nations! As the 2026 Winter Olympic games are under way, IMB missionaries are in Italy teaming up with hundreds of U.S. volunteers from South Carolina, South Dakota, Louisiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, Alabama and Georgia to reach Milan with the gospel. Teams are taking part in outreach strategies like passing out Bibles and booklets of The Gospel of John, hosting hospitality points around the city, and participating in the beloved Olympic pastime of Pin Trading with a special twist – on the back of each pin is a QR code that generates a gospel presentation in multiple languages. International Mission BoardOlympic Outreach
