God has sent many of us to Asia to be watchmen. We dare not be asleep on the wall.
In 2009 God spoke “Watchman” to me as a focus word. "I have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem (Asia); they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the Lord, give yourselves no rest, and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem (Asia) and makes her the praise of the earth." -- Isaiah 62:6-7 (emphasis totally mine)
Prayer, communication with our Father, is key to who we are and what we seek to accomplish at His call. Prayer allows us to partner with God’s kingdom purposes. It’s time to be intentionally radical in our prayers. I am NOT suggesting we neglect our focus of leading women to Jesus on our own installation, I suggest we broaden our vision to encompass our role in our host nation.
Japan needs Jesus. Pray for the breaking of spiritual bondage. I have heard a strong call to pray for the spirit of unforgiveness of past generations to be broken so that revival can rush in.
1% or less of Japan is Christian
1 Protestant church for every 16,288 people
1 missionary for every 53,285 people
Korea – Pray for the breaking of spiritual and political bondage in Korea. We need to pray for continued revival in South Korea and revival in North Korea.
In our region pray for safety for families, new PWOC’s currently being birthed, and continued implementation of a regional vision.
Asia Region (and others led by God), will you commit to help your board cover Asia in daily, intentional, radical prayer and fasting? I’m asking each installation to note the day you are assigned to especially pray and/or fast. By all means, DO pray as led. Be sure to check the soon-coming Prayer Corner on our regional blog and our regional Facebook page for updates. Feel free to post your insights during prayer on our Facebook page – let’s make the technology work for us! If our ladies pray on specific days, there will not be a day in which God’s daughters are not praying and fasting for Asia. That’s powerful!
Yongsan – Monday, Yokota – Tuesday, Kadena – Wednesday, Camp Zama and Osan – Thursday, Camp Casey and Misawa – Friday, Daegu – Saturday, Camp Humphreys and Yokosuka –Sunday.
“We Speak to Nations” by Israel Houghton my personal anthem.
We speak to nations
Be open
We speak to nations
Fall on your knees
We speak to nations
The kingdom is coming near to you
The song is on YouTube; let it serve as a battle cry for Prayer! We are Asia, a region in need of prayer!
