For the arrival of our new workers, John and Samantha from Singapore, Catherine from the UK and Peter from Hong Kong. That they can settle in to life in Japan quickly and easily. The last few years has seen an influx of new missionaries to join the field long-term in Japan. In 4 years we have had 22 missionaries arrive. This means that about two thirds of the field are either in language study, internships or just starting into ministry. Praise God for what he is doing in Japan, and pray that his will be done.
The annual pastor and missionary retreat on March 30th, 31st. Please pray for this time of refreshment, fellowship and teaching.
For Japan and the Japanese during this time of tragedy, that God will soften hearts to hear his message of hope through Jesus Christ. And for the Church to reach out with this message. Pray for those missionaries and churches [WEC does not work in that part of Japan, but many other organization do] in quake affected areas, including Tokyo.
