Dear Friends,
UPDATE: The summer is here in Japan and every day the heat and the humidity seem to be rising. For the next few months, our schedules are fairly consistent. Joe continues to preach at All Nations Fellowship, lead ANF staff meetings, and attend full-time language school. Juliet has been busy attending meetings for Isaiah's yochien and taking care of the home, and Isaiah has been busy meeting new friends. His Japanese is improving daily, and it is obvious that his Japanese will surpass ours very soon.
PRAYER/PRAISE:
1. Please pray for Joe as he continues to lead ANF along with his colleague Michael Oh. Please pray for much wisdom in training and equipping the 5 intern staff for current and future ministry in Japan. Our prayer is that we can send out some of these interns in the next few years to become part of a new church-planting team in Nagoya.
2. Please pray for Juliet and her involvement with Isaiah's yochien. Please pray that she will be able to continue to build relationships with teachers and the mothers of Isaiah's friends, even with her limited Japanese.
3.Please pray for Isaiah as he is making new friends every day. We have taught Isaiah to pray for his Japanese friends, and remind him that he is here as a missionary to share the gospel and show the love of Jesus Christ to his Japanese friends who do not know Jesus. He is already asking questions such as, "How come my Japanese friends don't believe in Jesus?" and, "How come my Japanese friends don't go to church?".
4. Please pray for the weekend of Sat 5/23-Sun 5/24. A short-term team from the U.S. is visiting CBI/ANF to do some children's ministry, host a game night, help lead worship/encourage the Christians here, and spend time in evangelism. We are looking forward to some of our supporting churches sending short-term teams to encourage/and be encouraged by CBI and ANF in the future.
