On Sunday 27th July, Rakusai church held a special Sunday morning guest-event, which they called ‘Open Chapel’. Fifty people came, including many for the first time.
Every year WEC welcomes short-term workers, from a week to a year or more! This year in late Spring four univeristy students from Singapore visited Japan on a short-term mission. Here, one of them shares about her experiences.
I had my furlough back in Japan this year, during which time I have been trying to meet as many people as I can, sharing about my work as a missionary in Mongolia.
Let's hope that all those that come to our summer camps beside Lake Biwa have an excellent time!

Pray for our new church group which started in Maibara city on 8 July.
Please continue to pray for new worker Carla, from Brazil, who is keen to pick up Japanese quickly.
It is a huge joy to see someone from the people group you are working with come to faith, become part of a church, serve God at home, and then decide to be a missionary abroad! We thank God for Keiko Ogami, a member of one of our churches, whom God has done this with. We pray for her and more like her, to proclaim the good news in Japan and beyond.
May has been a busy month, but an inspirational one! We had challenging teaching at our missionary conference, the joy of welcoming a new missionary to the field, and the blessing of a short-term team from Singapore visiting our churches to help out. There’s very much a sense that God is doing new things here – we hope that He is doing new things for you as well!

I came from a Catholic family. My mother didn’t like Christian people because the Catholic priests preached that Christians (protestants) people were false prophets. Therefore, I didn’t allow Christians(protestants) spoke to me about Jesus, because I believed my mother. And she said to me "When the Christian people get together to pray they transform into a goats, that's why they close the door to pray". It aroused my curiosity...
Jesus is the fragrance of springtime. This spring season, may His spirit refresh all of you, renew all of you, and make all things beautiful. Please join us as we pray for this nation, churches and workers in Japan. When we do the praying, God does the answering.
