Japan

Japanese Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako recently visited the United Kingdom. The Emperor is familiar with the U.K. and has enjoyed many years of friendship with King Charles dating back to Naruhito’s time at the University of Oxford in 1983. When Naruhito was invited by Queen Elizabeth in summer 1984 to the Balmoral Castle in Scotland, he and Prince Charles went together. During their time there, Charles taught Naruhito how to fly fish. When the two got together this past June, they joked about the fish that got away. “Jesus, you are the King of kings and Lord of lords. It is amazing that Emperor Naruhito and King Charles are longtime friends. Yet, it would be a far more wonderful thing were the Emperor to know You as His true friend – the King of kings and Lord of Lords. Lord, we ask that Emperor Naruhito and his family come to know You, for when that happens, the country of Japan will be changed. Father, please don’t let this fish get away!”
