Happy New Year! Thank you for your prayer support in 2012. May God give you your heart's desire this year!
It has been an eventful month. In mid-December we were grateful for the baptism of Mrs Matsui. She says that despite all her trials (divorce, depression, ill-health) she feels the Lord has been drawing her to himself since she was a child and is now so happy to be a Christian. She is now in hospital for a bad back. Please pray for her recovery and growth in grace.
Rod went to South Africa to join Glenda for 3 weeks. We were able to spend quality time with her mother and it seems that we now have a 5-day/week househelp and care for her. Rod's Dad had a colon cancer op recently and is recovering slowly. Please pray.
Last Sunday, a daughter of a church member, Miss Y stayed behind and wanted to know more about the Lord so please pray for her. She said she will come to the bible study tomorrow. Please pray that she comes to faith and starts going church in Tokyo where she lives.
On Saturday (19th) we have a concert in the Okada temporary housing for tsunami victims in east Sendai. And on Sunday (20th) after the main worship service we have the monthly Sunday Chapel near the harbour. Please pray for God to present by his Holy Spirit. On 29th we have another evangelistic concert in Natori. In all this activity please pray for God to be present by his Holy Spirit and to save many in this spiritually barren country.
Glenda returns from South Africa on 23rd Jan. Andrew- please pray for his safety. Amy and Sam are back in Rwanda, and Amy starts practising medicine in a Kigali hospital on Monday (21st). Christine is learning to drive and doing practical OT in an Oxford hospital. Esther is trying to train up others to serve in the Farnham CU which is well-attended; some students saying that the bible study has become the highlight of their week.
"I waited patiently for the LORD; he inclined to me and heard my cry." Ps 40:1
