Yokohama is the second largest city in Japan located on the west side of Tokyo Bay. As one of Japan's busiest ports, it is a major commercial hub with a population over 30 million when combined with neighboring Tokyo. The Yokohama Grace Bible Church is led by Pastor Scott and Naomi Douma, and they request prayers for wisdom, provision, and blessing as they lead the church during an economic downturn. They also ask for prayers regarding training Japanese leaders, their church facility, growing marriages and families in the congregation, and increasing fruitfulness in their university outreach programs.
