"Please pray for our team that the Holy Spirit would soften the hearts of my non-believing teammates and to sanctify the lives of the Believers," Lin wrote in an email sent to his digital prayer group titled "Jeremy Prayer Requests."

The 27-year-old athlete went on to request prayers that his team's Bible study, which he started last month, would "grow in vulnerability, accountability, and community."

Lin asked that people pray for love, peace and healing in the world for those affected by tragedies and natural disasters.
