Subject: Fw: ONE MILLION ON LINE W/GOD
From: presbyterians@xc.org (Chuck Baynard)
One million praying for ten million.
November 23rd, 1996 is the 400th anniversary of the Kiristan Holocaust.
A time when nearly one million Japanese Christians were massacred and
the cause of Christ set back for hundreds of years to come.
At present there is an e-mail petition being circulated on the Internet
to keep Sesame Street from being canceled. That petition is seeking
one million signatures, a good cause for a good educational program.
This e-mail is asking that you become part of an e-mail petition to the
God of the universe, on behalf of the Sleeping Giant, Japan.
Every morning over 10,000 Korean Believers face Japan and pray for the
spiritual awakening of their one time oppressor. The largest church in
the world is in Seoul, Korea--just over 750,000 members, around the same
amount of believers in all of Japan--the Pastor of that church has said
that God has given him a vision for ten million Christians in Japan by
the year 2,000. Many Christian leaders around the world are sensing
God's Spirit is preparing to move in Japan.
Imagine what kind of effect this could have on Asia, for that matter
the World! It is reported that Japan has the largest number of
missionaries in the world but still has one of the lowest percentages of
believers of any country. Japan is in need of your prayers.
*************************************************
On November 23rd, 1996 please pray that Japan will begin to experience
spiritual awakening and revival like never before. Ask God to bring
Japanese to a saving knowledge of Himself through Jesus Christ. Please
pray for Japanese believers. Asking God to help them share their faith
with a new vigor and joy. Ask God to remove the spiritual strongholds
and barriers to the Gospel that have been in place for 400 years.
************************************************
The purpose of this e-mail "prayer chain-letter" is to unite one million
believers from around the world to pray for Japan. Please copy to every
believer on your mail list. It is not necessary that we keep a list of
all those this reaches, God is able to do that. However, as you send
this out please add the number of people you are sending it to with the
"accumulated" figure at the bottom of this e-mail.
Your Brother In Christ,
Eddie Marshall,
Missionary to Japan
