The Harrington Family
Chris & Leanne October 2025 Prayer Requests
Dear Parkside family,
Thank you for your faithful prayers. I recently read a testimony from Pastor Yukimasa Otomo. When he visited Parkside in May, he was moved by so many people praying for their church in Japan and other pastors and churches around the world. Pastor Yuki encouraged the believers in the church with your prayers. Thank you!
Recently, we had the privilege to meet Ms. N, a new believer. She received her first Bible just before we met her. Bubbling over with the joy of freedom in Christ, Ms. N described how she recently threw away her spiritual amulets that she constantly wore and how free she is with Jesus. She lives with her parents who have an extensive amount of idols in their home. Please pray for Ms. N’s parents and family to have faith in Christ and be set free from their spiritual oppression. And please pray for Ms. N to grow in her new relationship with Jesus.
In the fall the Japanese elementary schools have a Sports Day that all the families and community members come to. Our school’s is on October 25th. Please pray that we could meet more families in our neighborhood. Please pray God would give us many relationships so we can make Him known here in Nishibori.
Lastly, Chris is working closely with a SEND missionary led church whose pastor will be retiring in a couple years. We ask for God to give wisdom on how to move forward.
Thank you always!
