Global Outreach International | Life Hope Network Founder & Director
Cynthia runs a home for pregnant women and a crisis pregnancy/post-abortion counseling ministry. There is also a church plant that meets in their café.
Japan is hard soil for the gospel due to the worship of many gods, the belief in fate, the hold of Buddhism through the death of loved ones, superstition, and secularization/materialism. Still, certain circumstances lead people to search for love, belonging, meaning, forgiveness, and help.
- Praise the Lord as last year LHN (Life Hope Network) experienced its highest number of total clients and births.
- A newspaper plans to print articles about abortion based on interviews with LHN and past clients. Pray that this will have a God-glorifying impact.
- Pray for more baptisms at the church this year.
- Pray for God to work through LHN, particularly as they launch a post-abortion video series.
- Pray for Tomi to progress through the ordination process and feel confirmed in his call to the church, if that is God’s will.
- Pray for Micah as he graduates from high school in March and will begin attending a day facility for adults. Transitions are hard for him.
- Pray he will enjoy and thrive in his new environment.
- Pray for Cynthia to have strength to take care of homestays (women who are living at LHN with Cynthia as they await the birth of their baby), as well as Micah.
- Pray for Cynthia to have more discipleship and evangelism opportunities.
