ABOUT
Why a house of prayer?
The hopes that Noah Prayer House holds, and the role this place has been given.
A place devoted to prayer, even for small churches
Most churches in Japan are small, and few are able to have their own prayer center or retreat facility. A place prepared solely for prayer allows pastors and believers to step away from their daily ministry, quiet their hearts, and spend time before God.
Praying together across denominations and churches
This house does not belong to any one church; it is open to every church that believes the gospel. We believe that having a place to pray together, beyond differences of denomination and background, is a small but important step toward the churches in Japan supporting one another and being made one.
Seeking revival that begins with prayer
Looking back through history, many revivals began with a place given over to prayer and the people who kept gathering there. In Japan, where Christians are said to make up less than one percent of the population, we believe that preparing a place of prayer and continuing to gather there in prayer is one way of waiting on God to work in this nation.
Stepping away to meet the Word in stillness
In the busyness of everyday life, it is not easy to set aside time to sit down, pray, and dwell in the Word. Surrounded by the nature of Mount Shigi in Sango, Nara, this place has been prepared for stepping a little away from daily life and offering ourselves to God in quietness.
Noah Prayer House is open to anyone gathering for prayer, such as church prayer meetings and retreats. For details on how to use the house, please see the Reservations page.
