Japan

Missionary Robin White serves as a Global Partners worker in Nagoya, Japan. He recently wrote to share an update…

He Everyone!

Last month I visited Hiroshima, along with some friends from Nagoya. We enjoyed a full day of ministry and fellowship with the church there. I preached in the morning and then did a mini-concern with testimonies in the afternoon. We shared many great things to encourage the believers there. I’m thankful for God’s protection, direction, and blessing on the trip.

Two days later I was in Nagano, at a Youth Conference, playing with a worship team. It’s always great seeing a large group of Japanese teens worshipping Jesus. They are the group that could seriously impact Japan if they really let Christ take charge of their lives. Join me in praying that they will!

Let me ask for your prayers about the following things. This week I will lead worship at a prayer meeting for our city and nation. Next Sunday I will preach and lead a Bible study in Kyoto. Many people in this land are anxious about the political hostility of North Korea. Let us pray for peace. Let us also pray that this uncertainty will lead people to find the greater peace that Jesus can bring in their lives. The nations strive and strain, but our God never fails us.

Thank you for your continuing prayers and support! Your partnership in our mission here is much needed and appreciated!

Fall Church Family Potluck will begin after the Worship Service today. We invite you to stay for this time of food and fellowship. Come meet a new neighbour and friend!

Fall Prayer Walk will take place today at 2pm, and will depart from the Church Gym. Move with us through the neighbourhood as we pray and ask for God’s mercy and power to be at work in the lives/homes of many.

Tai Chi for Beginners meets every Tuesday evening at 6:30pm. Come gain the flexibility and strength you need to maintain good health. Newcomers are always welcome, and learn by doing!

Best Years Fellowship will host their first monthly meeting this Tuesday (September 19th) at 10:30am. We will be driving to nearby St. Mark’s Coptic Orthodox Church for a tour of their building – and their heritage in our shared Christian faith. Speak with Sathi Pokhai to sign up. The St. Mark’s staff needs an accurate number of how many persons will visit. Thank you.

Fall Ladies Bible Study begins soon. Stop by the display table in the foyer to learn more about this 8-week series. The Tuesday evening sessions begin September 26th. The Thursday morning sessions begin September 28th. Speak with Sylvia Watson or Linda Pryor to learn more.

Thanksgiving Cards are now available from Sister Gloria Pickersgill. Speak with her today if you are interested one or a set. A portion of all proceeds will be donated to our Youth Ministry program! Thank you for your support.
