Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Tokyo.
1. Pictured above is a popular Japanese restaurant that serves kushikatsu, deep fried skewers of pork, beef, shrimp, lotus root, and pickled ginger, served with a special dipping sauce. Pray for the salvation of a family planning to eat supper there today.
2.A block over from our current map location is the Koko Hotel. The name Koko means “stork,” and is a symbol of good luck and a prosperous long life. Another common good luck symbol in Japan is Maneki-neko, a cat with a raised beckoning paw. Different colors of the cat symbolize different types of hoped for luck; for example, a gold cat with a beckoning paw placed in front of a business is supposed to draw a customers in, bringing wealth to the business owner. Pray for a worker at the Koko Hotel to meet and have a good gospel conversation with a Christian coming to stay at the hotel. Pray for the worker to realize that people don’t need to trust in good luck charms, because the one true God is both sovereign and benevolent.
3. For several decades in the last century, girl names ending in “ko” were very popular (Yuko, Kamiko, etc.). Pray for a Japanese lady whose name ends in “ko” to be born again into God’s family this week.
John 8:12
