Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Tokyo.

1. The Kanda Aqueduct brought water to Edo (previous name for Tokyo) for 271 years (1629-1900).

Pray for the student to receive that living water.

2. Pray for a family planning to take family photos at this park in the near future. Pray that the husband and wife will become united on a spiritual level as Christians who follow God’s pattern for marriage, enjoying fellowship with Him and each other on a deeply meaningful level.

3. Pray for the Lord to save a Japanese political leader.

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Tokyo.

1. Pray for the cyclist in the center of the picture, that wherever she is today, the Lord will work in her life, drawing her to Himself.

Luke 9:25

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Tokyo.

1. The contrast between traditional and modern architecture is easily seen in today’s picture. Both building types symbolize a common theme in current Japanese culture – seeking to blend ancient and contemporary elements to provide meaningful purpose to desired life pursuits. Pray for a person caught in the quandary of trying to figure out if ancient or modern ideals are best to discover that the God of the Bible – Who is both the Ancient of Days and the ever-present I Am – is the ultimate One worth wholly pursuing, for “our hearts are not at rest until they find their rest in Thee.” (Augustine)

2. The brown roofed building is the Buddhist Denmyoji Temple. Pray for a priest working at the temple to experience the saving grace of God, thus becoming part of the priesthood of believers who are eternally promised access to the Most High God because of the work of His Son.

3. Continue praying that you will meet a Japanese person and have an opportunity to witness to that individual.

Luke 9:25

2. Pray for two shoppers in this square of businesses to realize that they are a treasure in the sight of God, for which He gave everything to redeem.
3. Pray for an orphan in Bangkok to be adopted into a loving home, and also into God’s forever family.

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Tokyo.

1. Bunkyo City is the fifth ward of Tokyo for us to pass through in our virtual prayer walk. Pray for five people in Bunkyo to hear the gospel for the first time this week, and respond in faith.

2. Pray for the next utility worker to service the pictured power lines, that he will meet the omnipotent God Who  made electricity, and Whose power alone defeats sin and the grave.

3. Junior High can be a tough time for kids, especially as it relates to being made fun of by their peers. Pray for any Christian students attending the Bunkyo City Junior High School who have been made fun of because of their faith in Jesus, that the Lord will meet the needs of their hearts, assuring them of His continual presence with them. That gift is the best way to make it through tough days.
