Some recent prayer points are:
>We are starting a new Christianity Explored course from this Friday, for a couple.
they are in there thirties, and the lady who grew up in this church, and yet left while in her teens, came to faith about 3 months ago, and her boyfriend has been coming to church for the past month. please pray that he might come to see the awesomeness of the gospel, and accept Christ as his saviour king. please also pray that they will grow in faith.
>Youth and young adults
we have a new group meeting each week on Sundays from April for 15-29 year olds. some of those who will come don't know Christ yet, while others are eager to serve Him. please pray that we might know how to encourage those saved to grow in their faith while also making the gospel clear to those who don't yet know Him.
>English Class
the monthly English class, has very little attendance, (non from outside of the church) and we are leafleting the area, and leaving invites at local supermarkets. please pray that new children will be added to the number.
>Ai's job
Ai is looking to quit in Tokyo and work closer to home, so she can support me better. no date is set yet, but she is talking with her supervisor. please pray the Lords will be done.

>Translation work
I have been asked by JEMA and JEA to join the translation team for Japan Harvest and Japan Update, it's only 4 times a year, and just a few hours work, so I said “Yes” but now that I have the file to translate with me, I feel it's way over my ability! Please pray that I might do a reasonable job!
Also, I am translating the Christianity Explored course to use in our church. Please pray that this will be a useful resource in our church!
