Hi Everyone,
Last month we completed our second year with our current kids English class. They are an energetic bunch, and it’s a lot of work keeping up with them. But we have a lot of fun together. As I’ve mentioned before, most of my students in all four of my English classes (three for adults and one for children) are non-Christians. But I’m thankful for the relationships being developed between our church and community through the English ministry. Little by little, we’re getting to sow Kingdom seeds in their lives.
During this month’s English Bible study, we had some very good conversations about Jesus, heaven, and the Gospel. I believe two of the students really recognized major differences between Christianity and the world’s other religions! Please keep praying for the students, families and friends we’re connecting with through our English ministry at Immanuel Nagoya Church. Please also pray for me as I lead worship at my church’s prayer meeting on March 22nd.
If you would like more information about what is going on with our work here in this land, you can find it on the internet at the following address: millikenchurch.org/japan-som/
As always, thank you for your partnership!
