Over the next fifteen days we are going to advance throughout Shimonoseki by also praying for other churches in Shimonoseki and praying against some of the places of false teaching like shrines (animistic worship) and temples (Buddhism), and others.  There are about 245  temples and 35 shrines in Shimonoseki.  Some churches in Shimonoseki refuse to have anything to do with Shimonoseki Christ Bible Church and often refer to her as a cult because of her stance on God’s Word, the expectation of personal holiness, and her abstaining from idol worship (Please see “United Church of Christ” in the introduction).  Pray for a return to Scripture and for the spiritual leadership to be pure in life and doctrine, filled with wisdom and the Holy Spirit, and to feed and watch diligently over their sheep.  Pray that all the churches would faithfully preach the gospel, grow, and multiply.
