A brief walk down the alleys and paths of any area of Shimonoseki will reveal an idol of stone or a prayer rope wrapped around some object of nature.  In most homes, relatives who have passed away are to be appeased through daily food sacrifices and incense at the Buddhist family altar, and in most businesses success is beckoned by the god shelf in some corner of the office.  In reality, whether you are inside or outside one soon realizes that Shimonoseki is physically one large altar of demon worship.  Pray against the evil darkness that blinds the understanding of those who live here.  Pray that Christ’s light would break through by the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit and that one by one these objects would be torn down and destroyed glorifying the true, living God.
