GOD ANSWERED

1. Registration for October’s CPI conference has opened. We are pleased with the flow of registrations. Pray that God would send us many Japanese along with missionaries.
2. We had great planning meetings with the CPI Leadership Team and the Serge mission about bringing more intensive renewal training through Grace Weeks in the next two years.
3. We are making good progress on our various book projects. Elaine’s Thoughts Along the Way devotionals is nearly done in Japanese! Her More Thoughts Along the Way in English is going to be proofread. John’s book on church planting just finished a round of technical editing. Pray it may be done by the CPI Conference in October.
