3,000 Children of God Praying;

3,000 Japanese Worshipping Christ

in Shimonoseki by Summer 2008

 

We are so grateful for your desire to join God in bringing many Japanese into His Kingdom.  This guide is intended for that very purpose.  The PIONEERS Shimonoseki team understands the crucial role that prayer plays in God’s pursuit of worshippers among the Japanese people.  As our missionary team and the Japanese church move on the ground in Shimonoseki , as God’s kingdom advances, we are grateful for the powerful work that is being done through the prayers of God’s people around the world.

 

We trust that this prayer guide will be greatly used of God to change the course of history in southern Japan and all of Asia.  The southern most island of Kyushu which is located just across the strait from Shimonoseki has over 17 million people, only about 30,000 believers,  and 200 missionaries working there.  The PIONEERS team praises God for the amazing work He has already done in this city of 300,000 people.  In less than eighteen years God has raised up a Japanese church of some one hundred believers.  However, the church in Shimonoseki makes up maybe less than 1/20 of one percent of the total number of people in this city.  There is still much to be done and we believe the greatest work to be done is through the earnest prayers of God’s people.  As you pray each day or week feel free to take the bold words and phrases as your focus and pray earnestly for God to grow His church throughout this city and its diverse society.   Also, feel free to take one daily request, print it off and pray weekly with others at your church.  Again, thanks for joining us in this important ministry that will impact this city, Japan, and all of Asia.

Together for His glory,

The PIONEERS—Shimonoseki, Japan Team
