Next month a couple from Korea will arrive to join our team – please pray for them as they prepare to leave Korea and head into language study with us in Japan.
Please pray for those missionaries who are currently away from the field: Jill looking after her mother in New Zealand, SeongJae on furlough in Korea, Ben and Jessica in Australia, attending a family members funeral, Simon and Henrietta as they spend time in the UK after their February wedding and Peter as he spends some furlough time in the UK.
This month, please pray for our missionary-kids accompanying their parents in living in Japan:
Pray that the children of our newly arrived field members would learn Japanese quickly.
Pray for those kids transitioning between schools this Spring.
Pray for our children to grow in love and faith.
Pray for their friendships and witness at their Japanese primary schools and International middle and high schools.
What follows is some specific news from our missionary families with children:
Blessings for the New Year!
Simon and Henrietta went to home to the UK for their wedding in February. Pray for all their preparations to go well and for them to have a great time in the UK.
Bee Choo has returned to Singapore for a 4 month furlough. Pray for her health check and the sharing of her ministry with various churches.
One of our trekkers, Peter who is from Switzerland finished his short-term work with us. Pray for God’s blessing and guidance for his future.
Seongjae is going home on furlough to Korea. Pray for all the preparation for her next step in Japan.
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.
Thank you once again for continuing to stand with us in prayer. This month we welcome three short-term workers, Peter, Fabian and Elina! Peter and Fabian are both from Switzerland and will be with us for three months; Elina is from the UK and will be in Japan for six months. Pray that they would quickly settle and be used by God here.
