Japan

PRAYER FOR THIS COUNTRY

Praise Points

Praise God for uplifting Japan from its WW II predicament and raising it as an Asian economic powerhouse (The Bible, Psalm 128:2).

Praise God for the presence of His Children in this closed society-based country (The Bible, Jeremiah 4:2).

Prayer Points

We rebuke the principalities of suicide and self-destruction working among the youth in Japan in the Name of Jesus Christ (The Bible, Job 5:15).

Pray for the precious souls who have come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Pray for their protection from societal stigma because of their faith (The Bible, Matthew 10:22).

A Call to Salvation

Let the Name of Jesus Christ echo across the Islands of Japan and reach the earning hearts of millions of Japanese people who long for hope in their lives (The Bible, Acts 2:21).

Promise for the Nation

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds (The Bible, 2 Corinthians 10:4).

MORE ABOUT THIS COUNTRY

Japan is one of the largest economies and commands immense regional influence. The country is renowned for technological advancements and housing some of the world’s finest techno giants. Yet, the social aspects of this Asian economic powerhouse are frail. Suicide rates have been on the rise in recent months. This disturbing trend is emerging among the youth of Japan. The religions in this country cannot bring peace to the hearts of youngsters. They do not have any scope for faith or salvation. There is resistance from Japanese people to accept the Gospel Message of Jesus Christ. They cannot relate to the concept of a savior. The Christian Believer’s presence in Japan is miniscule. We must focus more on this country, especially reaching young souls.
