How can we pray for you?

Introduction to Japan:

Japan, an island nation in East Asia, is known for its technological innovation, rich cultural traditions, and breathtaking landscapes. With a population of over 125 million people, Japan has a long history of resilience and progress. However, it is also one of the most spiritually unreached nations in the world, with less than 1% of the population following Jesus. Most Japanese people adhere to a mix of Buddhism and Shintoism, while others are secular. The need for the gospel in Japan is immense, as many people struggle with loneliness, depression, and the pressures of a highly competitive society. Let’s pray that God would move in power, opening hearts to the gospel and strengthening the believers who are faithfully sharing His Word.
