This month we had a 7-day visit from Jeahyun and Sewon, a Korean couple who plan to come as long-term workers from March 2009. Let’s pray for them in their preparations to come.
We have decided that the Kyoto Ai No team will finish their church-planting ministry at the end of this year. With the church's main missionary couple deciding not to return to Japan after their furlough, it seems best to introduce the three ladies that come along to other churches. Do pray for this transition up until Christmas.
Two of our missionaries will celebrate their engagement this Saturday 15th November, with a ceremony followed by a party in Nagahama church. Pray for the 100 guests, which include church folk, neighbours and friends, plus Henrietta and Simon, to know God's power and love during this time.
We have had a number of deaths of those close to our field team this year, and over the past month too. Pray for those who have experienced losses.
