Dear Praying Friends
Thank you again for your prayers which are so valuable to us.
1. We have been encouraged by a change in the tone of the some of the prayers we hear prayed in the church. Many of the women now are praying for the conversion of their husbands and children instead of just their health etc. It maybe that this shift will be a sign that God will soon do great things.
2. Please pray for Mrs Temple-field who came to our English classes and has been asking all sorts of interested questions. She had no previous knowledge of Christianity at all. Pray her into the kingdom before she grows hardened! (What a privilege it is to be a missionary in a place like this!)
3. Last week's English Cafe was on Creation vs Evolution. We had a number of inquirers. Please pray for them! On March 19 we will do 'Fossils, Dinosaurs and the Flood'.
4. We always have a few foreigners in our Japanese service. A few weeks ago though it was extreme - we had 19 foreigners from 13 nationalities and only 11 Japanese! We of course are here to plant a Japanese church so please pray the core of Japanese increases. Positively most of the foreigners are embedded in Japanese society and act as lay-missionaries to their Japanese contacts. For example 7 were wives married to Japanese.
5. Esther is back in Australia adjusting to civilian life after an intense short-term mission trip to Cambodia - please pray for her future. Christine is preparing for her IGCSE exams soon. Pray for her to maintain a composure and walk with the Lord. Glenda's hand is slowly healing. Andrew is witnessing for the Lord in a difficult situation in Scotland. Amy has her scarey finals after 5 years of medicine. (I, Rod, am fine)....
6. We are due back in UK in 1 June and RSA on 3 Nov for home assignment until Feb.
Thanks again!
Yours in the grace and grip of the Gospel
love from Rod and Glenda
