Bible delivered and accepted!!!

Friday, May 11th, 2007

Thank you for praying for E to have an opportunity to give her mother a Bible. It has already come!!! E decided to give it to her for Mother’s Day. Her mother accepted the Bible and said she would read it. Pray that God will open her eyes to see the truth as she reads God’s word. Right now she prays before her husband’s altar each day.

Mi was saved in 2003 but she has not yet followed the Lord in baptism. She now wants to follow the Lord in baptism. Pray for the date to be set soon. Pray that Mi and Ken, her husband, will be faithful followers of Christ and that their testimony will bear fruit at Tabiji group home where Ken works. Pray for Ken and Mi to have a hunger for God’s word, to know Christ more intimately and also to witness to the lost around them.

Mrs. Shima, who is a 84 year old new Christian, moved into the group home at Tabiji. She is part of the other house church network so those who have been meeting with her for worship are now going to the group home and have worship with her on Monday nights in her tiny room. She also has an opportunity to worship with the church that meets at the group home. Pray for her to share her faith with the lost residents there.

God is also answering your prayers for the leaders. God has convicted them and today one shared that leaders repented of their recent lack of zeal in witnessing. They are meeting together on the 14th and they will be reviewing scriptures, talking about how to overcome temptations, how to encourage one another and keep their focus on witnessing to the lost. Pray for the Holy Spirit to guide their every thought and word as they meet together.

Counting on your prayers for the Japanese and the lost around the world,
Tak and Lana
