SIM / MTW Japan | Language & culture acquisition phase
The Baes are finishing up language and culture learning while exploring ministry options. Susan meets with Chinese and Japanese women, both seekers and believers, for Bible study. Rich is exploring options for administrative ministries within MTW Japan.
Christians are less than 1% of the population in Japan. A majority of the Japanese practice a syncretism blend of Buddhism, Shintoism, ancestor worship and atheism. Between the huge population decline and the constant threat of natural disasters, people live in a perpetual state of anxiety and fear.
- Pray for Susan’s Bible studies with the Chinese ladies, Japanese ladies, and her Japanese teacher. Pray that the
Holy Spirit would lead them to seek God earnestly. - Pray for protection from spiritual attacks, particularly in their marriage and family.
- Pray for the church in Japan to be fortified and strengthened to be a bold witness in the community and a haven for believers.
