Dear all, Thank you for your prayers & support.
1. Recently, God taught us something special through Josephine & Angela:For about 2 weeks, they were raising funds for a Charity run. Some sponsored them one time gift, some gave a certain amount/lap (e.g. 100Yen, 10 laps= Y1,000.) But, we had a real typhoon that day. We were wet even holding an umbrella! Despite the heavy rain & wind (typhoon), Josephine & Angela ran 8 Km each (20 laps)!They were running with ONE purpose: For the wheelchair of Hope. http://k-kurumaisu.org/
They knew that the more laps, means more donations for the Charity.We learnt not to give up, keep focusing & don't complaint.
Here's some pictures:

2. WK spent a few months working on the "Red Sox DVD" (evangelistic tool. testimonies of players that won the 2004 series.). Yes, they won. Honestly speaking, I thought they would lose the AL when they were 3 down. I prayed, because the DVD was in the process of pressing. And, God surprised me. (and the Red Sox, too.)a. 500 copies already given to an International Elementary school.b. More than 1,000 copies given to churches keen to use it.c. 100 copies to Campus ministry (Tokyo). I think already all given out.Heard that 1 was given to a non-Christian. & the staff is asking for 50 more copies. d. Even the crusade mums are using it.e. I will be attending a Church planting Conference next week & they have given me an opportunity to share this & the Christmas CD.
3. Christmas CDs ...ALMOST ready. It is in Korea now for pressing(mass production), then shipped to Tokyo on the 5th. Pray that it will clear the customs quickly, so that we can have it sooner for distributions.Please pray, too, as we find accomodations & meeting places for teams coming to help with the distributions.You can see sample of the CD cover here: http://www.japanccc.org/christmas/order/esample.htm

On the 10th Nov, Jaine will fly to S'pore to attend a Financial Training till 26th Nov.Pray for her to learn well & come back to help the JCCC financial dept.
