Dear Prayer Warriors:

Each time the phone rings these days our hearts jump with anticipation as we think “Maybe someone else trusted Christ!” Thursday afternoon we received such a call! E shared that Mrs. Se and Mrs. Mo had just led Mrs. Ao the Lord. Mrs. Ao had gone to church as a child and was concerned that her friend, Mrs. Mo, had joined a cult until she heard that Mrs. Mo had become a Christian. Mrs. Ao eagerly heard her friend’s testimony and accepted Christ as Savior!!!

However, not everyone who hears the gospel says “yes” to Christ. Thursday, Mr. and Mrs. Tu, Mrs. Matsu and Mrs. Mu heard the gospel. They did not receive Christ, but did take Manga Bibles and a Jesus film. Mrs. Shi and E will visit Mrs. Matsu again on Monday. The others will hear the gospel again also. Pray they all will be saved.

Mrs. Shi’s friend, Mrs. Naka, telephoned her to say she wants to hear about Jesus. Pray for her to be saved on Monday as E and Mrs. Shi present the gospel to her. Also, four Christians witnessed to Mr. and Mrs. T today (Friday). This couple is so close, especially the husband. Please pray for them to accept Christ together with their daughter.

Mr. Yo who was saved last Saturday has to commute two hours one way to work in Tokyo. Even with this tough schedule, he and his wife are reading the Bible and praying together daily. Mr. Sa who was saved Sunday is working two jobs to support his family during this time of recession in Japan. Pray for these two men and their wives to grow in their faith and become mulitplying disciples. Pray for them to be able to have time to worship together with members of God’s family.

This coming Tuesday, DeanO T Clown arrives with his wife, Cheri. They will attend the baptism of Mrs. Ao on Wednesday at the beach and have the privilege of eating raw fish!! Yum. Yum. Maybe I should stick in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich! Pray for divine encounters at the public and private kindergartens, at Ikoi Group Home, and at a clowning school where they will “perform”. Pray for family members and friends to attend the Hiyoshidai Family Outreach to be held on the 12th.. Pray for people to be saved at Tabiji Group Home worship on Sunday morning.

We praise the Lord for Christians who are boldly sharing the gospel!! Pray that they will be faithful servants and loving witnesses in their homes, their neighborhoods and at their jobs as they follow the Lord daily! Pray that His Church will grow and that He will be glorified!!!!!

Claiming His Promises,
Tak and Lana
