Let me rephrase that, Please pray for us. Yes, we are asking
you to pray for us. We really would appreciate it if you would pray for us on a
daily basis. It is not so hard to do. We will give some brief suggestions and
guidelines on how best to do this. Thank you very much and God bless you
richly!
Apostle
Paul recognized the importance of prayer being offered by others on his behalf.
He addresses this need several times in his writings. The principles and our
circumstances are similar in many respects. We often need prayer for the same
purposes that Paul did long ago.
2 Cor 1:11
But you must help us too by praying
for us. For much thanks and praise will go to God from you who see his
wonderful answers to your prayers for our safety!
TLB
Col 4:2 Devote yourselves to prayer,
being watchful and thankful. 3 And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we
may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. 4 Pray that I may
proclaim it clearly, as I should. NIV
1 Thess
5:25 Dear brothers, pray for us. 26
Shake hands (greet) for me with all the brothers there. TLB
2 Thess 3:1
Finally, brothers, pray for us that the message
of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you. 2
And pray that we may be delivered
from wicked and evil men, for not everyone has faith. NIV
Heb 13:18
Pray for us, for our conscience is clear
and we want to keep it that way. 19 I especially need your prayers right now so
that I can come back to you sooner. TLB
Practical Pointers for Daily Prayer
1. Visual Reminder. Use a photo, prayer card, monthly update and
keep in your Bible or on the refrigerator.
2. Regular Prayer Time. Try praying morning, lunch time or evening before going to bed at night.
3. Amount of Time. We suggest just starting with three minutes
then extend as Holy Spirit may lead.
4. Prayer List. It can consists of specific targets,
special needs and recent prayer requests received.
5. Listen to God. Take time to be still & see if
God has something for you needing to be shared with us.
6. Let us know! Please send a brief email telling us
you are praying. Please stay in contact as you have time.
7. Let us pray for you! We would love to receive your
requests to pray for you daily also.

Priorities & Needs
(Peace Prayer Network, Japan Prayer Network, Last Days Woman)
1. Japan – every person to hear the Gospel of
Jesus Christ. Pray for believers, pastors, missionaries. Pray for a great
national revival touching every island, city, village & person.
2. Anointing, wisdom, &
revelation – to
know God’s Will and how to best share His Love here in Japan.
3. Health, strength & joy to
carry on – the
difficult spiritual battles tend to sap personal resources & strength.
4. Holy Ghost Power – the spiritual needs of Japan are great! Miracles,
healing, deliverance is necessary.
5. Pray Against Spiritual
Strongholds – temples,
shrines, customs are used to help keep eyes blinded to God.
6. Prayer Partners – we just cannot do the work alone. We must have
others holding us up to God in daily prayer!
7. Pray for Finances – a lack in this area can cause our focus
to be off ministry and it brings discouragement.
