After sending out 5,000 fliers in the Kumanichi Newspaper, we opened our doors at Michishirube to have our first Sunday morning Bible study in Kikuchi City. One dear woman saw the flier and attended. We continue to meet there each Sunday morning, and each Sunday afternoon, we meet in Kumamoto City. Our lives have gotten busier with the new additions we’ve seen lately, but we praise God for good health and the strength to keep up with things for now!

There are two things we could really use. First, we desperately need your prayers. The devil is alive and well here in Japan. Recently, two missionaries have left the field. Problems are springing up in relationships here and there. I can see how the evil one could use this to his advantage to keep people from coming to the Savior. Pray that God will protect the seedlings of faith that have been gently planted and watered.

The second thing we really could use is more workers. Have you noticed we mention that a lot? It’s because it’s true! There is so much more we could do if there were three or four more of us! Japan could use even more than 3 or 4, but that would be a start to help us out.

Thank you for your prayers and interest in missions in Japan. Encourage those around you to consider working for God here.
