- Supported Worker: Chris and Leanne Harrington
- Country: Japan
- Details: Since the pandemic began, the borders of Japan have been closed to new residents, which means new missionaries have been waiting to come and join the work in the field. Recently, Japan reopened their borders and now nine new missionaries are arriving! It has been hectic, but Chris and Leanne feel blessed to have these brothers and sisters joining them. Some have been waiting for over a year with 100% of their support raised. Pray the Lord will help them find the neighborhoods and communities where he desires their new coworkers to live and minister. Pray for language to come easily to them as they begin learning Japanese and for the new ministry partnerships. Chris and Leanne thank and praise God for sending more harvesters into the fields. Pray that he sends more still. Hungary (Europe). Population: 9,766,105, Believers: 2.8%. Hungarians have lost contact with the gospel, despite enjoying a rich theological history. They seek answers in many places: materialism, hedonism, alcohol, and increasingly, false religion. Postmodern mentalities predominate. Pray for all falsehoods and empty philosophies to be exposed as such and for Christ to be exalted as the truth in this historically Christian nation. Pray that Hungarians might see the truth of the gospel and the freedom it beings through Jesus. From Operation World DVD-ROM 2010, www.operationworld.org
