Sarah C. Blackstone Missionary to JAPAN
PLEASE PRAY THAT: The lost, without Christ as Savior, turn to Him whole-heartedly!
JAPAN NEEDS JESUS! Christian population: About 1% Most have never heard the Name of Jesus, EXCEPT in swearing by native English speakers!
Most Japanese do not know a Christian. Most believe they must appease and seek many “gods” for one to help. PLEASE PRAY THAT: Many will find Jesus, the One True God, who loves & seeks them!
Japan’s Suicide Rate: 1st in the world. PRAY THAT: Many will find hope and salvation in Jesus!
PRAY THAT: Japanese believers will be strengthened and encouraged!
Many believers do not know other Christians outside of church & long for Christian fellowship. PRAY THAT: God will bring believers together to encourage one another!
Many believers are ridiculed by friends & family. Some are removed from official family records for not worshipping family ancestors. PRAY THAT: They will be strong in Christ to face difficulties.
Japanese churches hunger for a fresh move of God! Some churches share the same pastor and have special needs. PLEASE PRAY THAT: Pastors & churches will be encouraged.
PLEASE PRAY FOR: Increased enrollment at Central Bible College, in Tokyo. (The student body has been small in recent years.)
Many Japanese pastors, at retirement age, need a co-worker to mentor. PRAY FOR: New pastors & missionaries in Japan.
PLEASE PRAY THAT: Japanese missionaries to other countries will be encouraged and adjust well to new surroundings!
PRAY THAT: The Christian youth in Japan will be strong in the Lord.

OH, LORD, • We Meditate On Your Word Which Reminds Us: • “For since the beginning of the worldmen have not heard,nor perceived by the ear,neither has the eye seen,OH GOD BESIDE YOU,what You have prepared forthe one who waits for You.” • (Isaiah 64:4)
LORD, WE PRAISE YOU FOR • Isaiah 48:9’s Promise “Thus saith the Lord,In an acceptable timeI have heard you,In a day of salvationI have helped you; andI will preserve you,AND, I will give you as a covenant of the people,to establish the earth [Japan!], to cause to inherit the desolate heritages.”
