December Dispatch (prayer letter)

by Robin White | Dec 1, 2017 | Ministry News

Hi everyone,

Thank you for your prayers throughout November!

Recently we’ve been having some really productive conversations about the future of GP’s ministry here in Japan. Please continue to pray for God’s leading as we discuss a couple of potential projects that will help us build a bigger platform here. I’d also ask you to be in prayer for the busy Christmas season. Christmas is a popular holiday even here in Japan where it’s technically not even a holiday, let alone a religious one. It’s a great opportunity for churches to reach out with the love of Jesus.

Now for some specific praise and prayer points…

November Praise Points:

• Safety and health through many travels and meetings.
• I no longer have to wear a cast on my toe.
• A productive visit with our regional director.
• Good English Bible studies in Nagoya and Kyoto.

December Prayer Points:

• 12/1 — English Cafe in Nagoya
• 12/9-10 — Preaching, music & kids ministry in Yamaguchi
• 12/13 — Leading worship at Nagoya prayer meeting
• 12/17 — More preaching & Christmas ministry in Gifu
• 12/17 — Nagoya Church Christmas event (without me)
• 12/21 — Christmas party for my kids English class
• 12/24-1/6 — Christmas vacation in Canada!

Again, thank for you continuing prayers and financial support! I hope you have a great Christmas season wherever you are!

– Robin

November News (prayer letter)

by Robin White | Nov 1, 2017 | Ministry News

Hi everyone,

The above photo is from October’s English Cafe. As you can see, we were few in number this time (the weather’s been a bit “typhoony” lately) but we had a good time. I appreciate your continuing prayers for my English ministry, as we continue to make connections and point people to Jesus.

In other news, I broke a toe last week. It’s a minor injury, but is definitely slowing me down a bit. I’d appreciate your prayers for a quick recovery, especially as I’ve got lots of travelling ahead of me in November and December.

Here are some other prayer points for November:

• Our new GP regional director Tim Gallant and his family are visiting Japan (11/10-16). Please pray for us as we talk about the future of our mission in Japan and meet with our partners here.
• 11/8 — Worship leading in Nagoya
• 11/19 — English Bible study in Nagoya
• 11/26 — English Bible study in Kyoto
• Also, please pray for me as I prep for the busy Christmas ministry season.

Thank you as always for your prayers and support!
