Country: Japan
Details: On March 25, a group of Japanese young people and church members, led by Pastor Yukimasa, will be arriving in Cleveland for a week. The group has been meeting in preparation for the trip to learn about America and what Christians believe. The trip is part of many years of connection with these students through the Shiogama Bible Baptist Church youth ministry and English classes. The Lord has used trips like this in the past to open hearts to the gospel. Please pray for the group as they prepare and travel. Pray that the Lord will use this trip for his glory in their lives. Myanmar (Asia). Population: 54,964,694 Believers: 5.0%. Buddhism has a strong hold on the Burmese majority, as well as over the Shan, the Rakhine, and the Mon peoples. Most children receive education in Buddhist monasteries. Burmese Buddhism mixes in occult beliefs, superstition, and fear of the spirits. Reportedly, thousands of Buddhist monks have quietly become believers and many study the gospel and listen to Christian radio. Pray for this quiet movement of Buddhists to Christ to keep spreading, growing, and deepening. From Operation World DVD-ROM 2010 and www.operationworld.org
