Dear brothers and Sisters,

Praise the Lord for commanding Moses and Israel to build the tabernacle so people could learn visually about His holiness and glory. Now we do not have that tabernacle and its ceremonies, but praise God because today our bodies are the temple of God and we have the privilege to let God display His holiness and His glory through our lives.

Praise God for bringing more families through the doors of our church. A Peruvian couple with three children have started to attend our church last month. They are also inviting other family members and are expressing their desire to find and please God. Please pray, praising God for His mercy and that through the gospel He can give the miracle of salvation to this new family.

We want to praise the name of God because the application for our son Rohan to attend first grade at the only Christian school in our area is moving forward. Rohan passed the tests but the school fees are not in our possibilities. We are praising God because the school received our request for scholarship and we are just waiting their last answer. Praise God because these circumstances are teaching Rohan to pray always and understand that everything is in God’s hands.

These past two months we were trying to find a stroke rehabilitation center so we could do volunteer work and preach the gospel. Finally, we found one but in the conversations we found out that they were more interested in paid professional entertainers and not in volunteers. It was not so good news because we were really excited, praying and planning to serve there. We are now looking for orphanages; we found six around our city and now we are starting to call each one of them and try to find ways to volunteer, serve, and preach the gospel.

Our church continues with discipleship in Japanese, Spanish, and English. Please pray for perseverance, joy, and the Holy Spirit to bless, grow, and transform us in our studies.

Prayer Requests

• Please pray so God sends to our church missionaries for short or long term.

• Please pray for Japan so the gospel will give hope, forgiveness to this spiritually dark and dead country.
