Please pray for us tomorrow (today, now that I look at the time)

The Short Version

Praise:

·         Hong Kong was a whole different kind of challenge, but good results. More later. Thanks for praying.

·         Had a wonderful three days of mutual encouragement with Japan pastors and missionaries at annual meetings in northern Japan. Back home now.

Pray:

·         Tomorrow is ViBi (JSL Bible translation project) annual board meeting.

·         After the board meeting, we're celebrating the completion of Genesis! 

·         A national newspaper reporter wants to come to the celebration. Pray that she will be able to come.

 

More Details:

 

Tomorrow is ViBi (JSL Bible translation project) annual board meeting. We're also having a celebration of our finishing the translation of Genesis.  In addition to being a  wonderful opportunity to celebrate God's goodness and faithfulness, there is a chance that a reporter from Asahi Shinbun, a major national newspaper, will be attending. She is the same one that was so impressed with the Wheelchairs of Hope project and wrote a great article on it. Pray that she will be able to come, and also that God will be working in her heart

Hong Kong Plus

Pastors Matsumoto and Minamida leave tomorrow for Hong Kong and points north. They will see Y and others there (and are delivering a wheelchair too). Pray for God’s timing and blessing on them and the people they meet. After finishing there, they will return to Hong Kong and join Mark, Mary Esther, and others to help a Deaf start-up translation team learn the skills they need. We will be there May 11-17, returning for meetings here. They will stay on until the 21st and continue the training. Pray for the Hong Kong translation team, and for our team, that we will mesh well and make good progress

 

Reaching Out

Pastor Kawasaki was bursting with enthusiasm as we met him to pick up six chairs that the Mito church had cleaned. Not only are new people coming to church, the church is going to the people.  For their next wheelchair cleaning day, they’ve worked out a way join a local community group and use their facility. Pray that God will continue to bless them as they bless their community and the world.
