Dear Praying Friends
Greetings from Japan! Thank you for your prayers.
1. We have booked a flight from Tokyo to UK on 31st May to return for our home assignment. But we have hit a snag in that Glenda has found she needs a visa to enter UK. This is a new rule for S Africans from 2009. It is not a simple matter and the documentation we had to provide was enormous. So please pray that it is granted.
2. Last Sunday we had 40 adults in church which is encouraging. Please pray that growth continues, that we will be able to accommodate the congregation, and that new inquirers will feel free to attend and stay. Joel Lovestrand and his Japanese wife Seiko will be taking over leadership so please pray for wisdom and strength for them to 'make many disciples' Acts 14:21. When a missionary leaves there is often an interesting dynamic as long-term inquirers (ie non-Christians who attend) start to seek the Lord with a strong mix of sadness & human dependence etc. Please pray for conversions and revival in the whole city.
3. Esther has joined us from Australia and will come back with us to UK. Andrew has paid us a surprise visit for 2 weeks. Both are a great blessing to have here. Christine is writing her GCSE exams in India and Amy starts her final medicine exams on 1 June. Both value your prayers.
Thanks again!
Yours in the grace and grip of the Gospel
love from Rod and Glenda
