In April, Emperor Akihito became the fist monarch to abdicate the throne in more than 200 years. The following day, his son, Naruhito, became the new emperor of Japan. Though the role of emperor is largely ceremonial, he is still highly respected and honored throughout the nation. Pray for Emperor Naruhito and his wife, Masako, and their daughter, Aiko. Ask that they might come to know Jesus as their Savior.
Pray for continued improvement in the mental health of Masako who suffers from depression.
Pray that this family may come to know that Jesus loves them dearly (The Bible, I John 3:1).
