Season of Pentecost
During these weeks the Church around the world celebrates the presence and work of the Holy Spirit in our midst. He draws us in faith and transforms to become more like Jesus Christ. May you sense the Spirit’s work in and around you as we worship God today.

Missionary Robin White serves in Nagoya, Japan, with Global Partners. Last week he posted the following update…
Hi Everyone,
I hope your summer is going well. Thank you for your prayers over the past month! In June I went on two ministry trips: to Shimoda & Matsuyama. Both weekends included preaching and music duties. Thankfully, God strengthened and used me, as guests heard the Gospel and churches were encouraged. As a bonus, I got to see some beautiful scenery along the way. I am not in my six weeks of regular English teaching duties.
I just moved into a house, and our local church is embarking on a building project. Your continued prayers would be appreciated during this time of change and decision-making. Please pray specifically for the following events on my calendar in July: leading musical worship (July 11th), leading English Bible Studies (July 12th & 22nd), preaching and sharing music (on July 15th), leading children’s camp (on July 27th & 28th), and hosting a English Ministry Grand Finale event (on July 29th).
Your prayers and ongoing support always encourage and help me! Thank you for everything. I look forward to what God is planning for the season ahead.
– Robin
