ELAINE continues to cultivate kingdom friendships with her Bible study, needlepoint class and three western cooking classes. She is anxious to begin another small group Bible study series at a Rengo church. Pray about that. JOHN is equipping churches to build transformational relationships for evangelizing and discipling Japanese. This coming Sunday (June 9th), John will share with the Crossroad congregation about the importance and types of healthy small groups. Hopefully several will be interested in learning about how to lead a small group. John will be meeting at the Nerima Baptist Church on July 14th for an explanatory meeting for a model small group. This small group will meet for 6 months and be designed to develop small group leaders for their growing church. We would appreciate your prayers for these events.
