Here are more events from this spring!
Youth Retreat: Like last year, we had the privilege of leading the youth camp. It’s one of our favorite events of the year. We love hanging out with young people and it’s such an honor to love on them, to pray with them, and to encourage them as they walk with Him. Some of the students that came are not believers but one of them told us that she would like to start praying about being baptized. Her parents are not believers so there are many obstacles ahead of her, but we pray God will continue to work in her life and she will be able to be baptized in His perfect timing!
Worship service
Playing games outside.
Luke had fun, too! He got lots of attention the whole time!
So thankful for these students who love God!
Looking forward to seeing them again next year!
LIFE: LIFE is our weekly ministry on Sunday night. We lead the English Bible study and English worship service. Believers from various churches and non-believers from across the city gather every Sunday night to read the Bible, to learn English, and to worship together. One of the blessings is that we have a chance to serve with our missionary friends and Japanese believers. It’s also exciting to see the non-believers trying their best to read the Bible in English and asking many meaningful questions! We can’t wait to see what God has in store for this ministry!
Michael preaches once a month.
Fellowship time after the service.
Bowling and Lunch with Youth Group: We took some of our students to go bowling and lunch. We love to hear their daily life stories and to love on them. It’s neat to hear them talk about God and how He is guiding them.
Luke had the best time!
These students can eat a lot!
Hope you enjoyed looking at these photos and reading about each event! We are thankful for your prayers and support as we live and serve in Japan! We thank God for each opportunity we have to share His message! Please continue to pray for Japanese people! It’s evident that God is working in this country!
This was the last photo of our family of three! Who knew we would be welcoming our baby two days later?
I love reading about all that God is doing through your work there. I also love the fact that i was able to come and visit and that has helped me feel so connected to your work. I am praying for you this morning!
Great update. It really helps me know how to pray for the work in Japan. Keep the updates coming. Love the pics. Hope to get back to Sendai in the next few years.
