Dear friends,
Thank you for praying with us. Time 'flies'! It is already Spring in Japan. In this new season, God is challenging us to new grounds. But, before sharing more with you, here's some thanksgivings and prayer.
Our time in Singapore (Feb 2008).
Non of our non-Christians families invited Christ into their lives, but, we have some opportunities to share the Gospel with them. Through this experience, we felt the urgency 'more' to desire them to invite Christ into their lives. We were also encouraged by some of our friends that wants to trust God to see their families save, too! Let's continue to pray for our love ones that are still not save and trust God for active opportunities to share the Gospel with them.
Recently, I was reading 2Cor 4. And, again, I was reminded & 'strengthen' to share God's love to people and show God's love to people. This challenges us to trust Him for some additonal challenges ahead of us that we need YOUR prayers and support.
1. Reaching a special group of people.
Recently, WK is working on a special DVD, that is to reach Aids victim. This presentation is to share with others how some of them overcome DEATH and sharing Hope with their lives. WK is working with a local Japanese organisation and US (http://www.hopepositive.com/) on this. Please pray that we can get it ready before a HIV/Aids related conference in June. And, for wisdom to share the real Hope with them.
2. Learning NEW 'stuff' !
After much learning & training, Jaine is helping in the finance dept Japan CCC National office. She is helping with some key areas and learning things that WK don't understand! Most important, she sees that God is using her in this area to support staff reaching others in the field.
She, even made a trip to Osaka to 'teach' the staff about 'money matters'! Amazingly, she can still do housework, ... & cook for us!!
3. Wisdom to lead others to lead.
Presently, WK is overseeing these areas:
a. Supporting the staff team in Sendai in their ministry. (Once or twice a month, WK will go to Sendai to minister to the staff and support them in their campus & community outreaches.)
b. Working with a few staff in partnering with local churches to reach Sappporo, Kanto area, Fukuoka & Okinawa. Presently, we have already seen generations of Pastors raise and missionaries sent through this team. Pray for us as we take the next stage. (attached)
c. Reaching students through the internet. (This is his 3rd year in this area. Pray for breakthrough!)
And, please pray as WK is seeking to raise up the next leaders to take over his tasks.
4. No more barbies!
Josephine and Angela are growing! Reading, playing basketball, Cluedo, writing & computer are some of the things that they are doing! They'll be 11 and 9 yrs old! But, one thing that has not change: i.e. They kept praying for people specifically, and by names. This reminds us that God hears our needs and He will answer them specifically, too!
Please pray with us, too, as we are seeking God to join some mission trips during this summer.
What's your needs? Do share with us, too, so that we can keep praying for you.
Thank you, again, for standing with us in the mission fields.

Till another Japanese hears the Good News
