Café COEN in Japan

Café COEN (Connect through English) in Sapporo, Japan is a place where Mark, Athlee and their team provide a setting to connect with people so that they can connect them to Christ. Recently, another local once-a-week staff member left so that has put a heavier workload on other café workers. Pray for wisdom for the café manager as she considers asking more people to work once-a-week in exchange for free English classes. Pray that God will send the right local workers to the café so that it will continue to be a place to develop healthy connections in the community.
