Supported Worker: Chris and Leanne Harrington
Country: Japan
Details: They are grateful that they were able to take a week of vacation as a family. It was good to get unhurried time together, and they thank God for that respite after a hot summer filled with different gatherings. Japan has been going in and out of state-of-emergency protocols which makes it a challenge to connect with friends and neighbors. Pray for safety within the community and for wisdom on how to best navigate ministry. Barbados (Caribbean). Population: 261,687 Believers: 34.2%. External challenges to the gospel are evident—increased activity in and acceptance of the occult as well as intensified efforts by Muslims and Mormons to win those disillusioned with what they see of traditional Christianity. Pray for the confounding of these efforts and for true Christians to powerfully demonstrate God’s love and truth. Belize (Latin America). Population: 374,549 Believers: 18.8%. Belizeans are largely professing Christians, but syncretism is common. The Spanish-speaking immigrants with their superstitions, the Mayans with their underlying paganism, and the Garifuna with their black magic all need a culturally relevant and sensitive presentation of the true gospel. From Operation World DVD-ROM 2010, www.operationworld.org
