Please continue to pray for open doors and receptive hearts.
Doors are opening within some of the Nikkei schools. We are now beginning to work with the schools in teaching English and values and moral truth from the Bible. One of the schools has created a program for all the Nikkei that have been living in Japan and just returned because of the world economic crisis. Many of these kids have been in Japan all or the majority of their life. ( avg 8 - 12 yrs) They are 6 - 16 years old.
Pray for D. He had family members that attended the Baseball Clinic in January. We met for coffee 3 weeks ago and his question for me was, " What do Baptist Believe?" He made a decision to follow God that day and has been studying the Bible with us every week since. (Pray for him and his family and for other people to be open and burdened to discover the truth of God's love.)
We have been able to share the gospel and teach the Bible and witness to many of our ESL students at a Japanese business that has offices in Peru. They hire a large percentage of Nikkei people. Many of the Nikkei work for the Japanese managers because they are fluent in Japanese, Spanish and speak a level of English. We are building some good relationships and people are getting interested in studying and learning about God from the Bible.
The work at Prince Mission in Mira Flores is ongoing. We have a few Nikkei visiting the church and one coming regularly.
Thank you for your prayers and support for the IMB. We could not be here without your prayers. Our world is a lost and dying place. Please pray that we as believers are open to God's word and our always looking for ways to meet with people and share about God's love for all of us. From what we read on the internet and see of the US culture we all need to be sharing the Gospel ...
Again thanks for your prayers!!!
