Niigata, on the Japan Sea side of Japan is one of the areas targeted by the JGPNetwork. Surrounded by mountains on the east and the sea on the north-west, the snow covers the ground for much of winter. It is a city where no missionary resides. However, through the perseverance of a missionary, God’s Spirit has been moving there. Mrs. K , a Christian, has experienced many personal trials, especially in recent months and has been fasting and praying, learning total trust in her Lord. Will you pray that God will show himself strong to her and that her financial and spiritual needs will be met? Ask God to speak to her daily from the Word and to give her a hunger and thirst for Him, as well as a passion for the lost and a desire to share the gospel.
Sappro, on Hokkaido Island, is another city in the snow country. In fact, at the end of February they had some of the heaviest snow fall on record. The city was blanketed with several feet of snow in a short time. Pray that the hearts all the people living there will be melt as they hear the gospel just as the snow melts under the sun.
You have prayed for several months for Mr. and Mrs. I from Sapporo, who became believers a little over a year ago. Would you continue to pray for them? Although they have commited their lives to Christ, they have not made a commitment to make Christ the Lord of their lives and to put feet to that commitment. Pray for that their faith would be manifested in their lives and that they would see the importance of sharing their faith with others. Pray for the times when Mr. I goes to Tokyo on business to be ordained by the Lord. When in Tokyo, he has opportunity to be discipled face to face by Tak. Please pray Colossians 1:9-11 for Mr. I and his wife, and also that they will have a vision to be used by God to spread the gospel to reach the hearts of those in their city.
