We met two key people this month. Francis and Yoshihisa
§Francis is a Nikkei Methodist Pastor working in San Miguel
§ He has no Nikkei in his church and is open to working to reach
Nikkei people
§He works with young people and college age and young working
adults
§Yoshihisa is from Japan and works in a very poor area of Lima, with no Nikkei in his church
§ He too is very interested in working with Japanese and Nikkei
§ Tim and Joy are studying Japanese…!!!...(Please pray)
§ A few of our students have made great progress in their
understanding of God and the plan of salvation.
(One lady believes she made a decision of faith in her early adult life
and is at peace and relieved with her decision.
Another is close to making a decision… (please pray for R and MT)
§ Also M and J, two business men are basically in the same place
as we mentioned above. (Please pray for
them as well.)
Praises: God brought these two
families into our lives and we are trusting to see how we can work together to
build ministry teams to work with the Nikkei….
The
verse we posted last month we are going to post again. God brought us into contact with these two
families and He also reconnected us with people we have not seen for a
while.
We
had two Nikkei prayer gatherings this month.
And Tim was able to spend some time with one of our Nikkei Christian
friends and hear about what God was doing in their church. There was a great amount of insight gained
from this meeting and cooperation.
Please
pray for all of the English students we are tutoring: students and adults. There are a few that have accepted Christ so
we are about the task of discipling them. And there are several we are still
sharing the Gospel with.
The
baseball clinic has been tentatively schedule for the first week of January.
Please pray for Caleb and his wife Mara as Caleb is still in Basic Training in the US Army.

Isaiah 40:31
but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall
mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall
walk and not faint.
Please pray for the family of Pastor Shuto and his wife. They died in a car accident this weekend in
Brazil. They were on their way to a
pastors conference.
Tim
and Joy will be doing some research and ministry in Japan for the remaining
weeks of September.
