KEEP PRAYING Praise God from whom all blessings flow! Again it will be hard to leave our families, two children, and two grandchildren behind as we return to Japan. Pray for all our family that parting may not be too painful. Tim will be left here again by himself (and his cat). Pray for his adjustments. Pray for both of us that we may readjust quickly to living and working in Japan Ask God for…
You have been faithful in praying. God has opened the gates of blessings on our lives in September. There are so many blessings we have to stop and think about how many.

Ask God for a speedy processing…
We are very blessed to have many ministry partners, 36 local churches and over 20 individuals. One church member said, “We do not like our missionaries being held back from their ministry” and then doubled their monthly giving to us. In the last three weeks, God has provided $340 in monthly support. Today our need is $160 per month, and when achieved we are again off to Japan. Want to join this team that accelerates…
