Guinea-Bissau

PRAYER FOR THIS COUNTRY

Praise Points

We praise God for His abundant blessings in natural resources for Guinea-Bissau (The Bible, Isaiah 7:22).

We praise God for keeping Guinea-Bissau open for Kingdom Workers (The Bible, Romans 13:11).

We praise God for the relative calm in the country compared to the rest of the countries in the region (The Bible, Isaiah 26:12).

Prayer Points

Pray for a new generation of government leaders to establish critical economic infrastructure such as railways (The Bible, 1 Corinthians 1:9).

Pray for God to raise His children to establish quality education for a country where over 43% of the population is under 15 (The Bible, Proverbs 1:7).

A Call to Salvation

Guinea-Bissau has a very young population, and most have not heard of the Gospel Message of JESUS CHRIST! Pray for Kingdom Workers to devise innovative ways to reach this youthful population (The Bible, Isaiah 51:4).

Promise for the nation

But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory (The Bible, Hebrews 3:6).

MORE ABOUT THIS COUNTRY

Guinea-Bissau is a West African country that borders the Atlantic Ocean on the west. The country, if managed effectively, can be self-reliant. They have food resources from cash crops like Palm Oil, Cashews, Peanuts, Potatoes, and Beans. They also have excellent livestock, poultry, and seafood. Guinea-Bissau has rich deposits of Bauxite and Phosphates. There is also the scope for offshore oil drilling. However, the government must be more educated and competent to maximize the economic output. Instead, they are one of the poorest countries in the world, with a drastic decrease in organized criminal activities. It is fast becoming the trafficker’s haven for drugs, weapons, and human trafficking.

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.
