About KOBE and JAPAN

Kobe (神戸) is the capital of Hyogo Prefecture (兵庫県) and is one of Japan's largest cities, located between the sea and the Rokko mountain range.

The meaning of the kanji characters in Kobe is God's door. We believe that now is God’s time and that He is going to do wonderful things in Japan. We hope that more of God’s people can awaken and become an army of God who love God and love people.

With fixed eyes on the holy and spotless King, voices of worship arose from sunrise to sunset, honoring the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, welcoming the King of Glory into the ancient door, and sitting on the throne of Japan. Let Japan go with all the nations to wait for the return of the King.

Pray for God to raise up more people to intercede for Japan, asking for forgiveness, mercy, and redemption, and believing that Japan will worship the Most High God alongside all nations and people groups.

Luke 10:2

"The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest."

Pray for God to bring more workers to Japan and to walk alongside Japanese Christians as they share the gospel to the Japanese people and to all nations.

Matthew 16:15-16 ESV

"He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

Pray that God gives revelation to the Japanese and opens their spiritual eyes to recognize that Jesus is Christ, the Son of God and the King of Kings, they will come to know Him as their Saviour.

Psalm 2:8 ESV

"Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession"

Pray for God’s servants will have ownership and sonships for God’s kingdom and having courage to gain their inheritance which God have given to us.

Revelation 22:17 ESV

"The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price."

Pray for the church to understand the relationship between the church and Jesus, He sees the church as His bride, and the church will respond to Jesus and reach out to people who don't know Jesus.
