Prayercast | Japan

In the Land of the Rising Sun, where the gods of Shintoism capture many minds and the temples of Buddhism capture many eyes, the Morning Star cries out through the voice of a small remnant of Christian believers that the King of Kings desires to bring life to the beautiful people of Japan.

In a land where success has occurred through technological innovation and integration, most Japanese have blended Buddhism and Shintoism together to dictate the ritualistic practices of their lives. Interestingly, though, over 80% claim no personal religion.

In a land where 70-80% of the islands formed by volcanic activity are mountainous and uninhabitable, the gospel has not found a home in the vast majority of Japenese hearts. Only 1.56% of the 127 million people in Japan call themselves Christians.

But in the presence of this remnant, God has placed the seeds of hope. Natural disasters, economic struggles, an increasing rebelliousness among young people and the emergence of more antisocial cults has left many Japanese searching for answers in the midst of unfamiliar territory. For all of these, Jesus is the answer. He asks us to join Him through prayer as He seeks to reconcile the people of Japan to the God that created them.

My goodness, that's so good! Totally agreeing with this prayer! Thanks for doing something like that, guys!

[Prayercast]

@servantEG Thank you for the encouragement. We're praying along with you and so many others for Japan.

[Prayercast]

Totally agree, @Rward783: everyone has to choose to accept or reject Jesus Christ's free gift of eternal life.

@Rward783 Japan DOES have one of the highest suicide rates worldwide. It's not on the news often because it isn't anything new. It has been that way for a long time. But there are a lot of articles and researches on the internet. You can google it. It's a terrible reality...

[Rward783]

Dont change someone else away from their religion they need to make that choice themselves

[Rward783]

japan is not a christian it is a shinto and buddhism p.s. japan does not have a high sucide it would have been on the news

[superj2007]

My prayers go out to all the Japanese people who experience loneliness and hopelessness that they would turn to the lover of their souls, Jesus Christ!
