Thank you for all of you who have been praying for the guitar classes that we began last Friday. We had three attend. One man in his sixties and a younger man in his twenties had never been to a church before! We had the opportunity to begin teaching them the song “The Love of God” and tell them about how God loved them and Jesus died for them. Please continue to pray for these classes that will run throughout April.
April 8th our wedding anniversary! It is hard to believe that two years have already passed since we were married! The Hills were kind to us and watched Silas for us for a little bit while we got to go celebrate. I am thankful for a Godly wife who loves Jesus and works diligently to learn Japanese.
We are currently in a series on the family on Sunday Nights. After the service this past Sunday night, Bro. Hill had the opportunity to lead another man to the Lord! We are excited to see what God is doing here in Niigata. Please continue to pray for us.
As we were passing out flyers, we noticed flyers for a buddhist monk trying to get people to attend one of his events. The devil is fighting hard. Please pray for boldness as well as strength to carry on.
