On Tuesday, the Paralympics gets underway in Tokyo.

IPC and our friends at Japan Evangelical Missionary Association (JEMA) and Japan international Sports Partnership (JiSP) have been inviting the world to be praying for the Games, the athletes and specifically for Japan during the Olympic season.  Our target has been to raise a million hours of prayers.

The primary reason - Japan is the second largest unreached people group in the world and really needs our prayers.

There’s been a quarter of a million hours of signed up prayer to date from across 86 countries. We know too of tens of thousands of hours of “not-signed-up”.

As the Paralympics, like the Olympics gets underway with no spectators, so we turn again to prayer.

While we are inviting all generations both across Japan and around the world to pray we are particularly appealing to the next generation to pray for Japan.  We have just launched an Instagram campaign, a Youtube Channel and a youth-focused website at www.japan1million.world.  

Please would you consider taking part by:

• Signing up, if you haven’t already, and receive prayer points each day by email.
  • Sign up your ministry, church or organisation.
  •  Help get the message out by forwarding this email and sharing the online posts.

We all pray and long to see spiritual breakthroughs across Japan. As Hudson Taylor said, “When we work, we work, but when we pray, God works."

We believe transformation is coming.

Together for 1 million!
