slowing down

Thank you for continuing to pray for our team and for the volunteers that have been working with us! Since Christmas we've seen two more Japanese become believers - that makes seven for this winter volunteer season here in Tokyo! Praise the Lord!! He is making Himself known in this nation... healing broken hearts, freeing those who have been captive, releasing the people from darkness! What an honor is for us to get to see His work firsthand. We hope that it is also a blessing to you to see and hear of the things He is doing here!

Here are a few pictures of some of the things we've been doing during the volunteer season:

Training new volunteers.

Prayer-walking in Shibuya with a volunteer team.

Meeting people on the streets for free 5 Minute English lessons.

Spending time with new friends at a Friendship Party.

[Thank you to the Liberty team members who took those pictures!!]

It's been a good season, and very busy!! Now we're thankful to have a chance to slow down a little bit for the next few weeks. Volunteer season is over and universities are out on break, so we're finally able to catch our breath! Please pray that we will be spiritually refreshed during this time! We will also be trying to spend time with our Japanese friends when they are available, so please pray that we will make the most of every opportunity we're given!

Please keep praying for Japan!! So many are in need of a Savior and don't even know it!! We love y'all and are so thankful for you :)
