it's been nearly a month since my arrival here, and it has been busy but a blessed time.
last sunday I did my first sermon as a missionary in Japan. i will be preaching at the evening worship on the first sunday of every month, and I will be going through Christis "I am" statements.
please pray for me as I continue to prepare for these sermons and that the Lord by His grace might use them for His glory.
from the 9th till the 11th the Denomination (Kassuin no mure) had their summer conference. I helpedthe Childrens meetings. there were around 20 children.
I also saw my parents there. (they are pastoring a Church in Shigaraki.)

next wednesday I will be speaking at the prayer meetings. I will be going through the book of Romans.
Romans is a difficult book to preach from, and yet I believe it's message is very appropriate for this church.

please pray that I might be able to make it interesting and challenging, making the message clear to the people.
other than this, we have plans to start Christianity Explord and restart the Childrens English Class.
and I am currently preparing these.
On the more personal side:
I have found a flat to rent for a good value, and have moved in there. I still have boxs to unpack but am more or less settled.
with the wedding nearly a month away, it is now in the final stages of preparation. please do pray for Ai and myself as we prepare for this big day.
Thanks you all for your prayers.
in Him
Tim
(^_^) Good to hear you are settling in well. God bless you and Ai, especially with regards to the wedding in September.
ReplyDeleteHi Jocky! good to hear from you! thanks for the comment. I guess you have lots of memories of TBC.
ReplyDelete^_^ I do. So cool to see the pics of it (the wedding, not just the church building). :) Keep up the good work! Will always be following what you're up to!
