The following prayer requests are from Ai Akers, pastor of Tarami Baptist Church, in Japan. Ai is a 2004 graduate of BTSR. She and her husband, Nick, are ministering to the hurting in Isahaya-shi, Nagasaki, Japan.

In her own words, Ai asks for your prayers for the following:

- Pray for those who live in fear of the nuclear power plant explosions.

- Pray for those who are spending nights in shelters such as school gymnastics buildings without enough heat or blankets (one elderly died recently due to the below freezing temperature in a shelter).

- Pray for those who are working on nuclear plants right now.

- Pray especially for pastors in north east part of Japan who minister to their members and people in the community with the fear of the nuclear effect and lack of gasoline.

- Pray for people in North East Japan as well as Tokyo area people who are constantly exposed to aftershocks daily.

- Pray for those who have families and relatives still missing.
(I have a church member whose relatives are still missing and we are looking for those names on TV news daily to see if they are alive.)

- Pray that we, Christians in Japan can best serve God and the people here to show God’s love and compassion in time like this.

- Pray that we, Christians in Japan gain richer understanding of God’s love and salvation.
