Please pray with us about these concerns:
● Pray for those who have attended our outreach programs and for longtime non-Christian attenders to open their hearts to Christ.
● Pray for the younger members of the Yoshino church to grow and be strengthened in their witness and leadership.
● Please pray for Japanese Christians to be strong witnesses in their Christian lives—the harvest is great.
● Pray for natural opportunities to witness and for open, growing hearts among all those attending the Bible study classes.
● Pray that the recent spotlight on the Unification Church in Japan will not be a stumbling block but help the Japanese learn the distinction between Biblical Christianity and cults.
● Pray for growth in the Sunday School at the Yoshino church.
● Pray for the work of Osaka Bible Seminary.
● Pray for Brother and Mrs. Karakawa, ministering at the downtown Kagoshima church.
● Pray for the Japanese to turn their hearts to spiritual things, especially as the world continues to deal with many ongoing problems.
● Pray for the aging church in Japan--for the raising up of a new, younger generation of Christians and leadership for the Lord’s work in Japan.
● Pray for Brother Otsubo as he ministers by helping several churches in Kagoshima prefecture.
● Pray that building plans for the Yoshino Church of Christ can become a reality. We truly need more space and ground floor accessibility because of our aging congregation.
● Pray for the Maxeys’ health and strength, and for opportunities to witness.
