二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
1. 為日本禱告：日本是世界第三大經濟體，也是科技與消費商品的佼佼者。儘管日本是一個高度富裕的社會但是她也面臨著像高墮胎率、高自殺率、低生育率這類的問題使得日本社會瀰漫著焦慮與絕望的氛圍。雖然教會在日本是絕對小眾，但是日本教會持續將神的愛介紹給日本民眾使他們得以找到生命的盼望。為日本教會能堅持傳福音讚美神，為日本教會能藉著福音使更多人找到心靈的醫治與盼望禱告。
Pray for Japan. Japan is a global leader in technology and consumer goods and boast the third largest economy in the world. Japanese society faces a number of social issues such as a high abortion rate, high suicide rate, and low birth rate. This has brought about an atmosphere of anxiety and hopelessness to an otherwise prosperous nation. Though the church in Japan is small, it is faithfully working to show Christ’s love to the Japanese people so that they can find hope in Him. Pray for the church in Japan to bring healing and hope to the people through Christ’s love. Praise God for the small population of Christians who are faithful to the Lord.
