Dear Brothers and Sisters,

 

 

Greetings from Sapporo! We thought we would just share the blessings of these last few days with you all. We are always SO grateful for your prayers. Please pass this onto those who pray and give so faithfully.

 

 

We have had a wonderful few days here as, from our little Alpha Course which has just had 4 seekers attending (one had already confessed faith but is not baptized yet (Mrs Taneoka)) 2 more seekers have confessed their faith in Christ! Please pray for Mr Yoshida (his wife is quite anti) and Mrs Sawada (whose husband is anti) that they may look in faith and obedience to their new Lord and experience how He opens the way for them to follow Him in baptism, and ever after that too! (now it is only Mr Kondo who still needs much prayer to put his faith in Jesus - he is so afraid to commit to anything and anyone because of his sickness, Panic Syndrome)

 

 

On Sunday we suddenly had 3 new adults and 4 children coming from the neighbourhood. There is no doubt a story behind it all, but we do pray they will continue to come and find life, WONDERFUL life, through faith in Jesus! (they all said they had never been to Church before, but didn't want to say much more!)

 

 

Warm greetings to you. May you too be much encouraged these days.

 

 

Tony and Pat
