Dear Praying Friends
Why is a missionary flying back on home assignment like toothpaste? Because he leaves his life, contacts, stuff and work in one part of the world, goes through a narrow metal tube and emerges into a new and different world to live and work! So we feel a bit like toothpaste but are enjoying ourselves, meeting family and are settled in a nice little flat.
1. We thank God that Glenda got her visa and we evaded the BA strike. So now we are in UK at the below address, close to St Judes Church. Please pray for an effective and blessed ministry in UK. We attend EMA next week 23-25 June and Keswick 17-24 July. Ministry in June and July will be in Southsea, Eastney, Alverstoke, Birmingham etc.
2. Please keep praying for the church in Sendai, for conversions, for God to raise up national workers and for the church to grow towards independence. Pray too for the nation of Japan: that God will have mercy on the 127 million people there. In particular please pray for Mrs RA who told us just before she had left that she had tried to commit suicide several times: she used to come to church but has stopped. Pray for Mr K, our almost-resident schizophrenic who attends every meeting and has changed so much in the past 2 years but still hasn't come to faith.
3. We have just heard that Amy has passed her medicine finals so she is now Dr Amy Thompson. We are so grateful to God as she has been working for this since was 12! She and husband Sam leave for Scotland in July. Christine is still writing her GCSE exams in India and returns to UK 1st July. Esther is with us in UK trying hard to get a job until she comes with us to RSA in Nov to work with Justice Acts, a Christian group that works to stop human trafficking.
Thank you for your prayers
love from Rod and Glenda
