 Pinerolo Italy  Today the descent down this last mountain in Italy is narrow and very dangerous.  It makes me think about how there is a wide road and a narrow road. Matthew 7:13-14 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few

Thanks for your support in prayer, it is so precious! We are 5 persons in Pinerolo-Italie till tomorrow (arrival and depart of the race). We are working with 5 different Churches there and in the same time, we build contacts to bring the Italian Churches to be involved in the Giro (the Tour of Italie by bike) which is also very popular during 3 weeks in May every year. Churches are very much

Yesterday I received and email from a friend reminding me of how the beautiful it is in this area but how sad it is to know how lost they are when they do not know the creator of the beauty that surrounds them.  Today we begin our day in the department of Drome (26) and they are know for their wines, a goat cheese called picodon, black olives and lavender.  John 15:5 “I am the vine, you are the

Team Radio Shack does not seem to have the energy that they had last year.  They seem to be missing the spark Armstrong brought to the team.  This year they have been having a hard time keeping their guys in the race.  Johan Bruyneel is their director and he has won many tours, but this one will be a rebuilding year for him and the team. Times are hard this tour but I don't see them giving up.  I

Today they rest from the mountains last week and prepare for the mountains to come.  So today we find ourselves in south France, let us pray for those faithfully serving our Father here in this beautiful area of France. Our Father, bless those who faithfully serve you in southern France. Encourage them as they minister to others. Prepare friendships and allow them to share your love each day.

Team Rabobank represents the Netherlands.  It is always good to see the orange come through. Last year we had the privilege of praying for this nation and team while the tour went through the Netherlands.  We are grateful for those serving Christ and sharing his good news to those who live and work in the Netherlands.  Team Rabobank have these men riding this tour.

CESSENON-SUR-ORB Here in Mobile we have a street named Montpellier, so I pray for this city often.  Today our stage is a sprinters stage and so look for a speedy finish. Today we will pray through the department of Aude (11) and the Hérault department (34)in the region of Languedoc-Roussillon. As you travel through France you see many strong castles.

John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me Father, this has been our prayer that the people of France will understand and believe this truth to be true.  Not just in their mind, but in there hearts.  Lord, You came to provide us away and for you are the way.  You told us the truth because you are the Word.  You gave your

Team Quick Step is from Belgium and they have been Team Quick Step since 2003.  For the people in Belgium it is Tom Boonen's team and for the French it is Chavanel's team.  Here on Praying for France we have been praying for Tom Boonen for a few years.  This year he was unable to stay in the race due to injuries.  Continue to pray that he will let God to work in his life.  The French are happy

Saint Gaudens to Plateau de Beille Today it is up  and up some more.  I hope you were able to see Thor race yesterday.  The power he had to move was fun to watch.  I was enjoy watching Thor race.  Today it will be some else that is able to move up these many mountains.  He will need fresh legs.  Today let us remember Le Tour de France de la Bible as they are in Saint Gaudens with pastor.

Team Omega Pharma-Lotto  from Belgium has been fun to watch.  Philippe Gibert has proven his worth and André Greipel gave us and exciting sprint finish just the other day. Along with their successes they have struggled with keeping all their team members. Three have had to go home. It will be a challenge to bring Gilbert to the podium in Paris, but not impossible. Pray for them as they stay

Team Movistar was here last year they just rode under different colors. They wore red for team Caisse d'Epargne.  Movistar is a Spanish team and they have been enjoying the tour.  They have been having a good showing.  As we pray for Team Movistar  pray for the country of Spain as well.  Ask God to open hearts and lives to the gospel.  Team members in the Tour081 ARROYO David 082 AMADOR Andrey

I hope you enjoyed the mountains today.  I was cheering them on up that last 5 k.  It was good.  I just wish they would make their moves a little bit sooner so that they could make up more time ahead of the other riders.  Looking forward to tomorrow.  We have a descent to the finish into Lourdes.

Today we went up the mountains.  Two HC climbs today.  We found ourselves back on the Col du Tourmalet.  Last year Andy and Contador climbed sided by side, but today Andy was able to end the day ahead of the Contador by a few more seconds Thomas Voeckler keeps the yellow jersey but his lead has been eaten into by a few seconds.

I have been think about the fact that there are so many people that do not cross the finish line at the end of the day, but without them these riders could not do their jobs.  Let us pray for these today.  Team Liquigas Cannondale is our second team from Italy.  This organization is providing a camp each year for children 7-12 to come and ride for a week.  They are passing down the principles a

Gaillac Today the race went through the region of Midi-Pyrénées staying mostly in the department of Tarn(81) and Tarn et Garonne (82).  Last year we prayed through this area.  Please take the time to pray for those who live in these departments here in the Midi-Pyrénées.

Today the sprinters will enjoy one more finish line before the mountain climbers have their glory.  Enjoy

We begin the race today with a new man in yellow.  Thomas Voeckler from France is now in yellow after his ride in stage 9.  He has been riding professionally since 1999. In 2003 he was able to wear the yellow jersey in the tour for many days.  Congratulations to Team Europcar.  Have a great ride today. Congratulations to Leon Sanchez ( Robobank) for wining stage 9

Team Lampre - ISD is our first of two Italian teams.  Team Lampre -ISD has been working through some doping issues this year.  Doping has been issue for many riders.  Pray for these men to make good choices.  The temptation to enhance their ability to win is overwhelmingly strong.  Making the right choice is hard to do when you lean on your own strength.

If you watched any of the coverage of the tour I am sure you saw all the injuries that happened.  I am sure that these riders are happy to have a rest day.  Life can be like this race and we have times that we are injured.  Injuries come in so many ways.  Disapointment, unkindness, illness, loneliness, or even overly business.  We have one who can provide the rest we need we just need to take the

Last year these names were two separate teams.  Over the winter they joined forces and we can see how powerful they can be.  David Miller is the next guy on the list. He is only 8 seconds out, so it will be interesting to see how he does in the next 7 days.  Pray for these men.

 EVAUX-LES-BAINS  Today we will be in the foot hills, because we can't call these mountains when we know what is coming up next.  It will not be a sprinters finish and I believe that Thor might loose his yellow jersey to someone else.  Thor, you did a great job keeping it this long.  Hats off to you for that.  I don't know why but, I feel like this is one place I would love to live.

Le Mans is located in the department of Sarthe (72).  From here we head south through the central part of France.  Along the way we will see many chateaux and castles.  It is always wonderful to see the beauty that man has made, but most of all the beauty of what God has created.  Enjoy this day as we head south.  Pray as we go. Thank you Father for all the beauty of France.  We thoroughly

Today and tomorrow will be sprint finishes.  We leave the medieval city of Dinan located in Brittany and travel to Lisieux in the region of Normandy. Dinan is a small port city along the river.  Today you are able to see much of the original city.  It looks very royal. At the finish line in Lisieux we find the Basilica of St.Thérèse.  Over two million visitors come each year on a pilgrimage
