Unplanned Encounter (10/8/2019)

“Oh, hi!” 

This past weekend, there as an event downtown area of Niigata (kind of like a fall festival). As were out passing out tracts, we ran into Yuko (the lady who been helped Rosie with Japanese). She recently had not been to church at all, and it was quite a surprise. Even though she said that she has been busy, she came the next day to church. Please continue to keep her in your prayers.

What if the only thing a store would let you do is window shop? Looks like that is becoming a reality. See the news section. 

Prayer Requests

  • Rosie’s Japanese studies
  • Hope Baptist Church and the Hill Family
  • Bible Studies
  • Ten Hundred Thousand Churches (details here)
  • Takafumi (college student) to get saved

From the News

A major department store in Japan is working to change the way people buy things. Instead of going to shop, they are wanting to create spaces for people to experience items and then buy online later. While most of the push seems to be aimed at getting you to buy a credit card, there is a lengthy article here that you might find interesting.
