HeartCry missionary Luis: “Japan is known by some as ‘the missionary’s graveyard.’ Many missionaries have traveled to Japan only to return to their home countries discouraged. The difficulties of a society permeated by cultural indoctrination, language barriers and widespread rejection of the one true God, has for decades overwhelmed many missionaries. In the graveyard of Japan, true belief in Christ is replaced by the worship of man and the love of self.”

Pray for Japan: For God to call out a people from throughout the nation for His own name’s sake and glory (Ezekiel 36:22-24), and to cleanse them from all their impurities and idols (Ezekiel 36:25).
