Psalm 121

I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; from where shall my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade on your right hand. The sun will not smite you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forever.

Praising God for New Partners!

We are very thankful for several new individuals who have committed to partner with us recently! We have a little more than 51% of our needed monthly support pledged, but we need 100% before we can leave.

Would you please pray about partnering with us? Would you be willing to advocate for us by telling other people/churches about our need?

We are happy to travel anywhere to share with individuals, churches and/or groups about the spiritual need in Japan. Every time we share with a group of people they are amazed at the statistics about Japan (less than 0.2% are evangelical Christians out of 127 million people and 90-100 people a day commit suicide). They say they had no idea.

Japan has been in the world spotlight because of recent events, but the media quickly moves on to the next big event. The small Japanese church has responded to this disaster with love and compassion for their hurting countrymen. It will take years to recover and heal, and the Japanese church will be there every step of the way, but they are few in number.

Now is the time for the American church (the wealthiest church in the world, by far) to partner with our Japanese brothers and sisters. We have the best opportunity to reach the lost millions of Japan for Christ since WWII.

Maybe God is calling you to GO? If not, is He calling you to GIVE and PRAY?
