This week we offer prayers for our missionaries serving in Japan, Martha and Jeffrey Mensendiek. Martha teaches social welfare at Doshisha University in Kyoto and Jeffrey is the director of youth ministries at the Emmaus Center, which has served as a disaster response center for Japan's United Church of Christ since last spring's tsunami. In many ways, the area is still struggling to cope with the disaster and disruption of that traumatic event.
You can read more about the mission to Japan here, including a prayer for the recovery and consolation for those greatly affected by the disaster.
There are Christian missionaries serving around the world on our behalf in 70 countries. Each week, Global Missions highlights one of these missions and asks the church to pray for its continued vitality in spreading the Gospel.
