Praise the Lord!
Greetings to all friends in our Lord Jesus!
1. We had a good time with “Covenant Player team”
They played some Biblical stories with our church members. It was really fantastic plays to get to know what God says to us.
2. We had another good time with Adams.
John and Elizabeth Adams are farmers looking after many sheep and lambs. So we visited their farm to look around many interesting things. We could more understand the relationship between shepherd and sheep.
3. Shibusawa family came to JCF in Dunedin.
Shibusawa is a pastor of JCF in Christchurch. He and his wife and 3 children visited and delivered a wonderful sermon and testimony to our church members. Gideon family and his family had a good time in Gideon’s place especially prayed and encouraged each other. We made a small network of Ministry for Japanese in whole New Zealand.
4. Andrew Macphad converted to Jesus.
Andrew Macphad is a student of Auckland University. I met him when he visited his family in Dunedin. When I shared the Gospel with him, he wanted to know about Jesus more and I shared the Gospel from the Bible more with him. Finally he wanted to accept Jesus but he had no idea how to do it. I prayed for him and asked him to follow my prayer after me. He was born again. It was amazing! God worked to save him very right time.
Please pray for him to grow up by faith in Auckland.
5. We are expecting missionary guests from Thailand.
Kim and Mary Robertson are going to visit our church on next Sunday. They are working for church planting belonging to OMF in Thailand. Please remember and pray for Japanese to get a big challenge through them.
6. Shinya is having Bible study every week with us. Shinya is 28 year old man, but shy. God changed him a lot and he was saved, he is helping us as much as he can. We pray for his baptism but he is not yet confident to share his testimony in public. Please pray for he will be baptized soon.
We need your prayers,
1. We want to outreach to more Japanese all over the country. God will work with every different group of Japanese Christians in NZ to save Japanese.
2. We need to ask God for more workers, wisdom and power from Holy Spirit.
3. Pray for voting national leaders to be voted ones who are suitable for God and future of NZ.
4. Pray for Japanese pastors and missionaries in the world.
5. Pray for JCF in Dunedin and Gideon, Grace, Rebekah and Andrew Chang.
6. Pray for missionaries who were sent by JCF in Dunedin.
