One day, as her physical condition improved a little, she gathered the courage to go to a church-affiliated cafe for lunch. When it was time to pay, the cafe manager asked her if it was okay to pray for her physical condition. Although Rikako had never experienced anything like that, she agreed. After prayer, Rikako realized that the manager was crying as she prayed. Rikako was deeply touched, and it became the start of a friendship.<\/p>\n<p>Rikako returned to the caf\u00e9 a few months later, and the caf\u00e9 manager shared a Scripture with her: \u201cCome to me all who are burdened and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.\u201d Rikako was encouraged and felt the words were for her. Then the caf\u00e9 manager gave her a Japanese audio Bible. Over several years, they met more regularly, and the manager also shared teaching with Rikako by email. Now she is a vibrant witness for Jesus despite her ongoing physical ailments. She relies on the Holy Spirit for wisdom in every situation.<\/p>\n<h3>Let\u2019s Pray<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Thank God for believers who witness for Jesus in their everyday lives. Ask God to give them wisdom about how and what to share.<\/li>\n<li>Pray for Jesus\u2019 compassion to be seen and felt by those receiving ministry in unusual places. Pray for God\u2019s love to be released by caring Christians.<\/li>\n<li>Please pray for Japanese pastors to be free from the \u201cchurch = pastor\u2019s kingdom\u201d mindset. It has been an obstacle to the unity among the churches locally and nationwide.<\/li>\n<li>Please pray for Japanese believers, especially those of the older generation, to encounter Jesus personally and get excited about Him.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/110cities.com\/ms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/buddhistguide2026\/4490","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/110cities.com\/ms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/buddhistguide2026"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/110cities.com\/ms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/buddhistguide2026"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/110cities.com\/ms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4492"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/110cities.com\/ms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
