Eric Liddell - 100 Years Celebrations
It was 100 years ago this weekend, in Paris! - when Eric Liddell put his faith before his passion forathletics by going to church and missing the 100 metres qualifier. His inspirational story was retoldin the movie ‘Chariots of Fire’. Eric’s reward came days later when he won the gold medal in the400 metres.
We invite you to use this powerful story as an outreach opportunity within your church andcommunity as part of a worldwide centenary celebration of Eric’s life and testimony.

“I believe God made me for a purpose, but He also made me fast.”
Eric Liddell
Churches are organizing a plethora of different ‘Eric Liddell 100’ events including fun runs, filmnights, sports days, presentation dinners and testimony evenings. We’ve collated resources,activity suggestions and sermon guides with the help of the Eric Liddell foundation. See Here. Do

Please let's help get the Love France message out to our contacts and networks!
Thank you for partnering with us in our vision: ‘ Exalting Jesus, Catalysing united prayer acrossnations, denominations, movements, and generations for the fulfilment of the Great Commission!’
