1. Pray for whoever uses this parking space next to be invited to a Biblical church, go and park there, hear the gospel, and be saved.
2. There are currently around 15,000 Japanese foreign exchange students in the United States. Pray for many of them to hear about Jesus while in America, and be saved and discipled, that they may take the good news of salvation back to their homeland.
3. Pray for one-on-one Bible studies taking place in Tokyo this week, in which a mature believer is working to disciple a new Christian, that spiritual growth will occur.

1. Pray for someone working from a corner office in the pictured building, who has arrived at the pinnacle of his career, but yet doesn’t have fulfillment in life. Pray for the Lord to change that through the individual coming to know Him.
2. The Union of Japanese Scientists and Engineers (JUSE) is very close to today’s location. Pray for one of those engineers to meet the Master Engineer of all time, and follow His blueprint for life and eternity.
3. Pray for a Christian in Tokyo who is struggling with a challenge that you have faced, that the Lord’s presence / victory will be very real to that person today.

1. Today’s location is a major intersection. Notice the traffic light set-up; the horizontal “beam” the lights are connected to goes all the way around the large square. Pray for a car driver currently sitting at a red light at the intersection to turn to God in repentance and faith.
2. Today marks the 75% completion point of our prayer walk. Pray that the Lord will once again work in the lives of those for whom we have previously prayed.
3. The Shinjuku Police Station is at the corner of the intersection. Pray for an officer and his family who are struggling with job pressures to find help and hope in a Biblical church.

1.Notice the trees in the picture. The two on the right are healthy, the one on the left…not so much. Pray for Christians passing through Nishishinjuku Prime Square this month to have spiritual lives that are like the healthy tree (Psalm 1).
2. To the left of the left tree (just outside the pictured screenshot, but visible in the 360° streetview) a man is leaning against the building looking at his phone. Pray for that individual to become as interested – indeed, more so – in looking into the living Word of God as he is his phone.
3. Notice how the sky is reflected in the glass of the building. Zooming in on the lowest glass level reveals the building across the street, clouds, and the healthy tree mentioned earlier. Interestingly, the sky’s reflection on building glass was also noted as a basis for a prayer request in Tartu, Estonia, which was TGP’s featured location on 11-23-21 and 11-21-24. The Holy Spirit enables Christians around the world to reflect the Son to people who haven’t yet turned to pay attention to Him directly. Pray for a lost person in Tokyo to be curious about Jesus because of what has been seen in a believer’s life, and then turn to God in faith to begin a firsthand relationship.

1. A feature of the app used to map our progress through Tokyo is that 360° streetviews are available. In looking around full circle at our current location, and zooming in on business signs and translating them into English (via Google lens), it is evident that there are many ungodly establishments on this street. It brings to mind the part of Pilgrims Progress when Christian and Faithful must walk through Vanity Fair. Pray for one business owner on this street to be transformed by the gospel into a new creature, and as a result close his current business.
2. Proverbs warns young men about many dangers to avoid. Pray for any Christian young men living in proximity to this street, that they will stay away from the pull of the world by choosing the surpassing value of Christ, as Moses did in Hebrews 11:24-27.
3. In the right foreground of the picture is a man sweeping the street. Pray for the Lord to reach into his life with the truth that Jesus alone can cleanse the human heart, and for the street sweeper to ask Him for that cleansing.

1. The corner gray building in the center of the picture is Hanazono Clinic. Pray for a staff member there who seeks to help patients with medical needs to herself meet the Great Physician Who can meet her own spiritual needs.
2. Today’s prayer walk stop is at the intersection of two large roads. This brings to mind Mark 11:4, where, in preparation for the triumphal entry, Jesus told his disciples to go get a donkey “where two ways met.” Pray that someone using one of the crosswalks above will meet and begin a friendship with a Christian, resulting in a life-changing intersection with the gospel.
3. Tokyo is the world’s biggest city, full of people who need Jesus! Given the population of the Greater Tokyo Area, and the fact that birthdays are mostly randomly distributed among the 365 days of a year, approximately 101,400 people in the Greater Tokyo Area (38,900 of whom live in the specific limits of the Tokyo Metropolis) have a birthday today. Pray for those whose birthday is today to have and take the opportunity to be born again into God’s family.
Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Beirut.
Pray for roadside vendors to meet the Master Who freely gives what no one else can.
A port explosion in 2020 killed 218 people in Beirut. Pray for relatives still grieving the loss of loved ones to discover the hope that Jesus offers to all who trust Him.
Pray for Scripture to be readily available to all who yearn for truth.
2 Timothy 4:7-8

1. Pray for the next person who will stand at the exact spot of our map marker to have a life intersection with the gospel, understand what the phrase “Jesus died on the cross for you” means, and gratefully receive God’s offer of salvation.
2. Very often, a stroke is a major life-altering event. Pray for a Christian senior citizen who had a stroke earlier today (Tokyo is 14 hours ahead of EST in the USA), that the Lord will continually make His presence very real to that believer as he or she enters a “new normal” phase of life.
3. The last promise of Jesus in the Bible is “Surely I come quickly. Amen.” The Bible’s last prayer is the response, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” And the final verse of Scripture is the benediction, “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen” (Rev. 22:20-21). The Greek word for grace (charis) comes from a root meaning “to lean toward / extend oneself.” Grace is literally God leaning toward us in the person of Jesus Christ (John 1:14,16-17). We don’t just need His grace for the moment of salvation; we also desperately need Him to lean toward us everyday thereafter. Pray that as believers in Tokyo and around the world yearn for the rapture, they will be aware of / rest in the continuing favor and leaning-toward-them that God gives all His children.

1. Notice the interestingly shaped corner building. Pray that the Lord will send a copy of His Word into that building, and that someone there will read it, learn about His redemptive love, and respond in saving faith.
2. Pray for both the construction worker who set out the green construction cone (to the immediate right of our map marker), and the pedestrian who is approaching the cone, that both of them will become ardent disciples of Jesus.
3. An estimated 1,000 people or less live in Yotsuya Sakamachi. Pray for any Christians in the neighborhood to grow in their understanding of the love of God today (John 1:18, 17:26).

1. Today’s garden name means “Sacred Pond.” Pray for the eight pictured people (seven sitting on benches and one standing), that wherever those individuals are today, the Lord will once again work in their lives to draw them to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
2. Near Shinchi Gardens is Miwada Sakuen Girls Junior and Senior High School, founded in 1880. Pray for a biblical church in Tokyo to start an outreach to girls attending the school, and for many of them to be saved and discipled.
3. A three minute bicycle ride from today’s location would bring us to the Embassy of India. Pray for an Indian national working there to hear the gospel while in Tokyo and, believing, receive salvation.
