Fishing villages dot the shores of the island of Awahishima in the inland sea between Kobe/Osaka and Shikoku Island. The fishermen in these villages go out early in the morning while it is not yet day to catch fish for the market. Jesus passed by some fishermen one day on the shore of Galilee and asked them to come follow Him, and become fishers on men. Will you pray for many fishers of men to come and tell the people who live in villages like this from the north to the south and the east to the west about Jesus.

As you drive along the highway in the center of  Awaji Island you will see rice farms like this. In August the farmers are out harvesting the rice. This rice helps feel the millions of people in Japan. Pray for harvesters to come and reap the harvest of souls of the Japanese who do not yet know him. In the distance you see the low lying hills. At the base of those hills are the temples and shrines that are supposed to shelter the gods that give the harvest.  Pray that the farmers and their families will know there is a living God who causes the sun to shine, the rain to fall and the rice to grow. Pray they will have an opportunity to hear that Jesus is the Way to this living God.
