We wanted to ask you to continue to pray with us for the dear church that we left behind in northern Japan last summer. This church body, that we were so priveledged to be a part of starting 9 years ago, has had it's encouragements and discouragements lately. Even though Japan and those Japanese sisters and brothers in Christ seem so far away, they will always be close to our hearts.

We praise God for some friends of our kids who continue to come to monthly youth outreaches.
We pray for unity and pure hearts for the Christians at the Lighthouse Church.
We pray for God's provision for their needed finances and leadership as they pay for the church building and also try to call a Japanese pastor.
