Prayer Request
The 2005 World Expo opened it’s gates March 25th for 185 days in Aichi, Japan. Pray for Christians to share Christ’s love to 100,000 guests during Expo across the megacity of Nagoya. Pray for the 250 volunteers coming from Hawaii, California, Texas, Georgia, and Florida as they use their talents and gifts to share the gospel through tract distribution, hula, hip-hop, choirs, prayerwalking, a full orchestra and personal testimonies alongside missionaries and Christian partners. Pray for the prayerwalks which will take place around the area that God would open doors for gospel sharing times and prayer lunches. There will be 122 countries in Expo, many closed to the Gospel. This is an opportunity to pray around the world, in just 3 miles. From Yomiuri Shimbun.....
Mammoth treat in store at Expo 2005 Aichi -
A frozen mammoth excavated from the steppes of Siberia, the world's first steam locomotive and a chunk of the moon are among the exhibits to be on display at the Global House pavilion at the 2005 World Exposition in Aichi Prefecture, which will open in March, the organizers announced Tuesday.
According to the Japan Association for the 2005 World Exposition, under the theme "Nature's Wisdom," the expo will focus on ways to solve global environmental problems. Visitors will be prompted to think about the history and future of the Earth at the Global House, the central area of which will host exhibits in a display known as the Global Showcase.
The showcase will comprise six sections, telling the story of mankind from the birth of human beings through to space development. The main exhibits will include a replica of the scull of an ape-man discovered in Africa, which dates back about 6 million to 7 million years; the first steam locomotive, built in 1782 by British engineers, including James Watt; a moon rock brought back by Apollo 17; a Watson-Crick model of double helix DNA; and models of Mars and Saturn probes.
Images of the Earth, human beings and nature will be shown on a 2,005-inch screen and a 600-inch super high-vision display.
At the end of the exhibition route, visitors will be bade farewell by a frozen woolly mammoth excavated in Siberia.
The tour guide for the pavilion will be Harrison Schmitt, who stood on the moon as a crew member of Apollo 17. He will tell visitors about the moon rock over portable computer terminals given to visitors.
The Yomiuri Shimbun will operate a newspaper editing center in the Global House pavilion, where primary and middle school students will issue a daily Junior Global Exposition newspaper.
The Global House is cosponsored by The Yomiuri Shimbun and other organizations.
