“The voice of the LORD flashes forth flames of fire.” (Psalm 29:7)
History could be changed again if people went to their knees in believing prayer. Even when times are bleak and the world scorns God, He still works through the prayers of His people.

Pray for Japan, which has the world’s lowest birth rates and highest life expectancies, so the population rapidly ages. The social and economic challenge this creates is enormous. By 2055, half of the Japanese will be retired and collect a pension. No other country has faced this before. Pray for more Christian nursing homes and hospices. Japan will need many care workers and this will create a mission opportunity for believers from other nations. Japan’s low birth rate results in a small younger generation with their own challenges and issues. Those aged 18-23 are the most open to the Gospel but few actually become active believers. The bonds that once held Japanese society together have lost much of their strength.

Lord of the Harvest, we ask You to raise up consistent and fervent intercessors to pray Kingdom prayers that can change the world and fulfill Your Great Commission in our lifetime.
Japan is the largest unevangelized nation that is completely open to missionaries. Yet, due to spiritual, socio-cultural, linguistic, and financial difficulties, becoming an effective minister of the gospel is a long, hard process of adaption. Send out workers prepared and committed for the long haul in order to make disciples.
