After the Storm (October Prayer Letter)

by | Oct 2, 2018 | Ministry News

Hi everyone,

Thank you for your prayers this past month. This Sunday I was in Kure City, Hiroshima (pictured above), where I was scheduled to preach once… but ended up preaching twice! Because there was a typhoon approaching, a number of members who usually commute from a senior’s home were unable to make it. So the pastor and I had church with them at the senior’s home in the afternoon, while the storm was raging outside. Ministry in Japan is always an adventure!

October is looking to be a relatively quiet month for me, but I’d appreciate your prayers for the following:

    • Worship leading on Wed.10/10 and Sun.10/21 at my church in Nagoya.
    • Preaching, music and kids ministry at the Immanuel Church in nearby Toyota City.
    • Pray for clarity of vision, direction and creativity as I plan and put into motion our manga ministry project.
    • And please continue to pray for Japan as people continue to recover from multiple natural disasters. If you’d like to contribute to Christian relief efforts, I recommend http://crashjapan.com.

Thank you for being on the team!

Out-of-Season Sakura (photos of the week)

This is an odd choice of subject matter for Fall, but since I’m always playing catch-up on posting photos, I thought I’d go ahead and post these cherry blossom (sakura)  photos I took back in March this year. As things cool down, it’s sometimes nice to remember what things are like here when they warm up.
