1. This picture was probably taken during the covid pandemic. Pray for people in Tokyo continuing to grieve the loss of loved ones who died in the fall of 2020 from covid, that the Lord will help them to see that He is the Resurrection and the Life, and that they will obtain eternal life through trusting Him alone for salvation from sin.

2. Pray that a Tokyo resident who struggles with anger issues will meet the One Who gives victory and internal peace.

3. Halloween is celebrated in Japan, but differently than in Western countries; mostly it’s a night for teens and young adults to engage in street parties and cosplay (costumes + playing out the chosen character’s actions). Pray for any churches doing evangelistic outreaches this evening, that the Lord will save five young adults in Tokyo. Pray that those five people will then become faithful disciples and eventually church leaders.
