Dear Family and Friends,
Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you for being a faithful part of ministry in Japan through your prayers and support. God is at work all around us, whether we are in Japan or somewhere else in the world. I hope you are seeing Him at work around you! Here are some places He is at work around me…
Live Gospel Café: Thank you for praying for our café in September. This picture is from outside because it was standing room only! Our friend Kyusai shared powerfully in song and testimony. Many AGC friends attended as well as a young lady who is struggling with emotional and mental health issues and has stopped by the church asking for prayer. Praise God she and her husband came!
AGC Concert: We had our annual Anointed Gospel Choir concert on October 18. Although I was still trying to memorize lyrics right before the concert, it was a wonderful afternoon of praise with these lovely friends. The Holy Spirit is continuing to work in their lives, stirring their hearts with a desire to know our heavenly Father.
Oh, how I want to pour you a cup of tea and tell you more! I would like to tell you about one of our new English students who I met through my uncle from Wisconsin who met Mr. Ide in Germany! I would like to tell you about a new way of meeting people in my community as I exercise at 6:30AM in the local park. I would like to tell you about the seminar Melissa and I attended in Thailand about facilitating small group Bible studies and the wonderful ladies from around southeast Asia who we met there. I would like to tell you about the spiritual growth of our church members and attendees. I would like to tell you about how our church is getting involved in the community by volunteering. God is at work! Be blessed as you pray!
