As the Tokyo Summer Olympics kick off, two Japanese Christian organizations are calling for churches worldwide to engage in a total of one million hours of prayer for a spiritual awakening in Japan.
According to the Joshua Project, a Christian organization based in the U.S., Japanese believers make up less than one percent of the country’s population of 126 million people. Additionally, Japan is also the second-largest unreached people group worldwide.
According to Christian Today, Japan International Sports Partnership (JISP) and Japan Evangelical Missionary Association (JEMA) have launched the prayer campaign, Japan 1 Million, as they invite fellow believers to pray for at least one hour during the Olympics for God to move in Japan.
