August Intensive Prayer

INTENSIVE PRAYER TEAM
John and Elaine Mehn
Accelerating Spiritual Renewal and Church Planting Movements
Converge Worldwide (BGC) Missionaries to Japan
August 2011

This will be short as we are both still technically on vacation.

Thanks for praying for us through July. We have spent a few weeks in the US celebrating John’s 90th birthday (a bit early), visiting with our new granddaughter Molly (who is as wonderful as we were told), having a Pickett (Elaine’s family) reunion, and hanging out with our kids and the rest of our family. This area has had both record heat for July and the largest rainfall on record (due to thunderstorms).

WHAT TO PRAY FOR IN AUGUST
Well we hit the proverbial moving treadmill when we touch down. John is organizing another disaster relief team leaving on the 8th. This team will have participants from Hawaii, St. Louis, and Chicago. This will also be Ken and Gerry Milhouses last team. We will be pleased to have Mas Kobayashi going along too.

Two more teams are scheduled nearly back to back in September. Pray that other Team Coordinators arrive to help out.

August is notoriously hot in Tokyo (hotter than our time in Chicago). As the 3.11 earthquake and tsunami damaged some nuclear power plants we will be without air conditioning for the entire month. This is due to energy conservation in the entire Tokyo area. Elaine does not do well in the heat. Pray for safety and cool thoughts.

Ask God to bless the two Bible studies and a needlepoint class Elaine will have in August.

Pray for key decisions and planning going on as we look forward to this key CPI National Conference in November.

Ask God for creative wisdom for the Rengo National Evangelism Department later this month. John will be attending with the Field Coordinator, Jeff Chapman.
