- Details: Chris & Leanne Harrington, Japan Chris and Leanne were thankful for our prayers throughout the Christmas season. It was a great opportunity for them to point to the birth of Christ and to the ultimate reason for which he came. Pray for the leadership of SEND Japan as they seek God's wisdom for the year ahead. Mrs. A is the mom of six young children and is a strong believer. Her husband allows her and the kids to go to church, but he is not a believer. Pray for his salvation. Pray for this family and that God will do a miracle in this dad’s heart. Costa Rica (Latin America). Population: 5,152,950 Believers: 14.8%. Evangelicals in Costa Rica grew to 15% of the population and established one of Latin America’s most effective mission movements. But the church needs prayer. Most Costa Rican churches are good at winning “converts,” but they fail to disciple them well. Pastors survive on minimal incomes and have little help, so they struggle to provide consistent pastoral care. Christians often fall away in difficult times or move to different churches. Pray for effective and sustainable models of doing church and making disciples in Costa Rica. From Operation World DVD-ROM 2010 and www.operationworld.org
