We have a very special prayer request to be lifted up. We have been approached by one of the local pastors to help begin a new ministry for his church. The church is working to start English classes and English worship for their church. The ministry would be teaching English to its members and the local students. Then after English class, we will have a time of worship. The worship service would be in Japanese and English.
Many church members are willing to help (which is an answer to our prayers!) and some of them are the ones we had met at the youth retreat last month. We are very excited as this is an opportunity to meet many of the college and high school students in the area. There are a lot of logistics to smooth out as we work to hammer out the details. Please pray for unity within the team as we help coordinate this new task and also pray for the people who will be attending the English classes and worship worship as many of them may be unbelievers. Thank you all for your prayers and support. We could not be here serving if not for your help and God’s grace.
Wow,
This is the kind of opportunity you were looking for where you would be joined in ministry with the local church members. I will be in prayer as you deal with the nitty gritty details and for the unity of your team. Praise God for the answer to this prayer.
You can count on my prayers for this new work! You have my prayers for unity and that all will go just as the Lord God would have it to unfold, and that even now God will draw many to the class. What a wonderful opportunity!
