Calvary Chapel shared this with us.  May we join in praying for the many needs facing individuals in northern Japan.

Prayer List for Japan:

Trapped Victims – Even now, they are working around the clock to unearth those trapped under the rubble.

Relief Efforts – That insight, wisdom, and strength would be given to the Relief Workers.

Government Workers – That they would be able to organize the rescue efforts and rebuilding.

American Military – Many members of the churches here, soldiers stationed in Okinawa, have left to help in the relief.

Food – Many don’t have it.

Elderly – This is a difficult time for them.

Children – Many have been orphaned. Many are scared and need God’s comfort.

Damaged Buildings – Many of the structures have been compromised.

Refuge shelters – Difficult to maintain enough of them and workers to manage them.

Blankets 

Electricity Restored – There are going to be scheduled blackouts all throughout tokyo, and many areas in Japan don’t have any power.

Contact with families – Communications are down in most areas. And in the destruction, many cannot locate their families.

Warmth from the Cold – Japan even now is still very cold.

Aftershocks – There are many that are still taking place. 

Rebuilding – That once this crisis is over, they would be able to rebuild, that the whole nation could have a foundation not only of bricks and concrete, but of a belief in Jesus.

Clean up

Hospitals

Boldness For Believers – That they could outreach to the survivors and give them the only surety anyone can have. Jesus.

Translators for emergency workers

Financial Aid

Fearful People 

Travel availability – many planes and trains are intermittently out of service. Some permanently.

Nuclear power plants – That they will stabilize.  Fear and concern is mounting even in the greater Tokyo areas.  Different news report different things so it is alittle confusing for them.
