1. Two disaster response teams are set for deployment to Ishinomaki in September. Both of these teams will be staged and prepared at our home. So we will have many guests.
2. Elaine’s classes are starting up again after a break during the summer heat. Pray that God will continue these relationships and draw the ladies closer to Christ.
3. Pray for preparations and sensitivity as John preaches at the Ishinomaki House of Prayer on September 11th, the sixth month mark after the triple disaster.
4. Elaine will meet with several Japanese pastor’s wives in coaching, prayer and fellowship. Pray for wisdom for Elaine and encouragement for the wives.
5. Our son Tim has arrived in Japan for three months to participate in Disaster Relief Teams and also help with this fall’s CPI National Conference. Pray for Tim that he may maximize his time while here and build key relationships as well as accomplishments during this period. We are so glad to have his help.
6. These are extremely busy and full days. Please continue to pray for planning and execution of ministry along with the Rengo, the Japan Mission and for CPI preparation.
