• Effectiveness of Prayer for Coastlines
• Apostles in Regions
• Social Reformation Outreach

Three years ago, Barbara Yoder prophesied that we needed to pray for protection for the coastlines of Japan. Last year Cindy Jacobs said the same thing, “Pray for the coastlines, especially in conjunction with any threat from North Korea.” For the last couple years, many intercessors have been doing just that. Christians in Okinawa (Jesus' Army - Sue Kennedy) walked the whole coastline. Tsutomu Yoshida has been prayer-driving the coastline of Hokuriku and Shin-etsu. Others have undertaken similar journeys.

The result? Well, the NK missiles that were fired didn't endanger us... The prayers of the intercessors are effective!!

Pray for two more things:

1. People are asking if we can gather apostles and prophets of each region to declare God's purposes and plans for that part of Japan. This is how revivals start. First we declare God's intentions and purposes. Even if it feels like John the Baptist, crying in the wilderness, it is necessary. As we declare, God begins to do the work. (We did this both two and three years ago in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Sendai, Hachi no hei, Sapporo, Kyushu, Okinawa, and other places.) This needs to be done again and again. Pray for apostles and prophets of regions to connect so declarations can be made more specifically for each region.

2. AFFECTING SOCIETY: Remember this is our new vision. Not just revival, but we are called (and equipped) to provide answers for basic social problems. Pray for great connecting/networking of groups that work with foster care, adoption, anti-abortion, and so on. Soon we must hold a symposium on this.

Thanks for praying.
