What a wonderful privilege to write to you all and ask for prayer. We may be a little bogged down with current struggles in the US, but rest assured God's Kingdom is advancing on earth and God is definitely doing something in Japan. We have a new opportunity to share with two more presbyteries out west as we continue to ask for support and also to raise an awareness of the great need for gospel ministry in Japan. I will be flying out of Charlotte this morning for Seattle and then on Friday to Sacramento. Kim is flying out on Saturday and we will visit with churches etc over the weekend and head back to N.C. on Tuesday. Please pray that God will use this time to open doors and grow our partnership with churches and individuals out on the west coast. (Of course we are certainly not opposed to support from east coast people either in case you were wondering :-)))
More than 99% of Japan's population does not profess the Christian faith. Not only is there a great need for evangelism and church planting in Japan, but there is also a great opportunity. It is our prayer that more churches and individuals will recognize this opportunity and join the mission of reaching Japan's lost millions through partnering with us financially and prayerfully. That more folks will see this as the privilege that it is - being on mission with Christ to Japan. Let's partner together to carry the gospel to a spiritually impoverished land.
In Christ,
