Praying for Japan
- Christianity is still regarded as an outside, Western religion rather than a universal faith.Pray for the Church to reach the size of critical mass and native character that will give it social acceptance.
- Unity is lacking in a Church that numbers only 1.5% of the population. Hundreds of denominations and groups exist along very fragmented lines. Pray for a united and common goal as the body of Christ.
- The lack of men in churches. The drive for success and desire to satisfy the demands of employers make it hard for men to openly identify with and become active in a church. On average, women attenders outnumber men 7 to 1. Pray for the men in Japan to take on the leading role to lead their families to the knowledge of Christ.
- There are 24 cities in Japan with no church at all. Pray for a church planting movement that will penetrate these unreached areas.
