Request for Prayer and Financial Support for the Commemoration of the 26 Martyrs of Japan

As we praise the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, preparations are now underway for the Commemoration of the 26 Martyrs of Japan, to be held on February 5, 2026.

In past years, all necessary expenses have been met through the generous and faithful donations of many supporters. We express our heartfelt gratitude for this continued support.

At present, approximately 40 percent of the required budget has already been secured. However, 60 percent is still needed to fully cover the costs of this year’s events.

This year’s gathering will be especially significant. Father Jakub and Pastor David will be joining us from the Czech Republic to minister. In addition, following their participation in the past two years, Pastor Tsugumichi Ohkawa will once again serve together with his successor, Pastor Eiji Koyama.

We prayerfully anticipate that this will be a richly blessed and truly special memorial gathering.

As in previous years, two daytime services will be held at Nishizaka Hill, and an evening service will begin at 6:30 p.m. at Nagasaki Brick Hall, a venue with a seating capacity of 2,000. With this expanded program, the financial needs have increased accordingly.

We humbly ask for your continued prayers and generous financial support. We are deeply thankful for your joyful giving and faithful encouragement over the years, and we sincerely appreciate your support once again for this memorial event.
