Yokohama, Japan

(yoh-kuh-HAH-muh) – “Please join us in praying for a meaningful ministry opportunity this spring in Japan. As with many Western holidays, Easter is becoming more commercially visible here. Stores like Daiso (an upscale, big box discount store) now sell spring-themed decorations and plastic eggs, capturing the curiosity of families. Yet for most people, the true meaning of Easter remains completely unknown. Pray for the Yokohama team and their local church partners as they use this growing interest – and the excitement of an Easter egg hunt – to build bridges with neighbors and friends. Ask God to give the team boldness, creativity and clarity as they share the good news of the hope we have in Christ’s death and resurrection. Ask that those who hear would ponder on and respond to the truth.”
