(yoh-kuh-HAH-muh) - "People young and old in Yokohama and throughout Japan are hurting and lonely," a missionary said. "There are very few emotionally safe places to openly share the burdens of life. Ma-san, for example, feels emotional pain and doubts the value of life, while Sunny does not feel she belongs anywhere. These are a few of the people we've encountered in Yokohama. Pray that Ma-san, Sunny, and the many other people we meet will find security and peace in Jesus. Pray we will have words of wisdom, led by the Holy Spirit, to walk with them and help them […]
