We are grateful for the baptism of old Mr Chiba last month. He has diabetes and failing eyesight and weak legs. Despite all that he is joyful with no trace of self-pity and said in his testimony that he had accepted God's will that he was not going to be healthy. We are close to baptising Mrs M. She is also very cheerful and evangelistic despite bad health. Please pray for them!
Evangelism in the temporary housing continues at a relentless pace. Last week we had another concert in Arai (east Sendai) and we were encouraged by the hunger for the New Testaments and other literature we were giving away. At Natori (south Sendai) the week before, the gospel message was quietly and respectfully listened to. This month the 4 concerts are between 14-16th. Please pray for us that we will be bold and full of the Holy Spirit. There is also carolling at a convalescent home on 22nd.
This year our Sunday service attendance averaged 33 adults. Please pray for the independence of the church with its own land, building and Japanese pastor.
Family News
1. Andrew please pray for his safety. 2. Rod's Dad is having an operation soon so please pray for complete healing. 3. Glenda's Mum needs long-term care in Cape Town. 4. We are meeting for Christmas in Cape Town (Glenda is there already and Rod leaves Japan on 16th Dec, Amy and Sam fly from Rwanda, and Esther and Christine from UK).
Thank you for praying for us. May God pour down many blessings for you and your family this Christmas time and throughout the New Year!
