Plead for Prayers, My Heart for Japan

2008.03.27

 

Thank you for praying for Japan; please continue to pray for my coming back to Japan after my commitment onboard the ship. As of now, I applied to a Church in Canada for support for my coming to Japan for mission with OM Japan, but I heard it’s in low priority as they received many applicants for this year. 

It’s really quite hard to raise supports to come to Japan since it’s really big amount, but I don’t loose hope that God will open the door for me to reach out Japanese people.

There is another good prospect of means to coming to Japan which is to teach conversational English to a particular Church in southern part of Japan; a man from England who is now doing his teaching ministry in Japan invited me to consider English conversational teaching to that particular Church because he going back home this coming July. But the challenge is, the Church leaders want to have a white person as well and had already experienced living in Japan and can speak Japan language; but he told me that they are also considering me as a candidate since I have heart for Japanese people. 

Please include me in prayer that God would open the door for me to come back to Japan to fulfill His will of reaching out Japanese people. If I get the job, I don’t need to raise support anymore because the Church will provide the accommodation and will pay for English conversational teaching. And I can save up money for the future involvement to OM Japan.

 

If you have any suggestion, please advice me and if you have any contact person in Japan who can help me to come there, will be much appreciated.

 

I am hoping to see you in Japan and also excited to reach Japan soon.

 

Thanks for praying.

 

God is with us.

Re: Movement: Prayer... Sharing!

Hey Roseline,

Happy Easter! He is risen!

Thanks so much for this email. I hadn't seen Faith's post yet, and I haven't met her before, but I've gone out to a prayer group that her husband is part of twice now. They're the ones who are working on Global Day of Prayer, and it's been really wonderful to connect with them.

Last January Etienne Piek came from South Africa to speak in Tokyo about Global Day of Prayer. We learned that there were forty people praying together two years ago and only six last year. We were all so inspired hearing him talk, and decided to go out and pray on a train line the next day. I can't tell you how amazing it was...I love watching walls between denominations fall. We started at 9:00 in the morning and those of us who could still be there at the end went up in the highest building in Tokyo and finally finished at maybe 2 or 3 in the afternoon.

This group of pray-ers is really passionate about connecting with those who are praying around Tokyo, so it's been awesome to be able to partner with them and add my connections to theirs and also learn who they are connected with.

Please keep Global Day of Prayer in your prayers...especially that it would be so much more than a day but the starting moment for lots of prayer and action for all God's children here, and a day when the things that have held us back are put under the cross where they belong.

In Christ,
Pamela

March 2008 - JAPAN, TOYAMA

踏進三月，富山的天氣終於和暖了一點點了，天氣回暖也使人精神開朗。

 

我和志基來了日本宣教也差不多一年半。感謝主，我倆的日文都有進步，盼望我們可以更深入與日本人溝通。由於朱雄兄及絢子妹快將要離開我們，我和志基都預備承擔多些工場的事工。請大家紀念我們。

 

3月4日是我們結婚兩週年紀念，很感恩我們可以體會到「兩個總比一個好」的真理。未來我們家庭會添一名新成員，新成員的加入是一項很興奮的事，不過對我們來說也需要適應。希望我們快快掌握帶孩子的方法，很期待著我們整個家庭繼續在日本為主發光發熱。

 

我們從沒有間斷傳福音的工作，大大小小不同類型的福音活動持續的舉行著，求神讓我們每次的活動都能與新朋友建立友誼，亦可以將福音帶給未得之民。

 

代禱事項：

1.          為我們各人接觸的關係網 (Okios)祈禱

2.          為整個CCMN 隊工的新適應祈禱

3.          所有隊工都需要考取日本的車牌，求主給各人智慧

4.          為Joyce和腹中的baby健康祈禱

5.          我們仍然等待著「公屋」，只需要有一家人搬出，我們便可以遷移入住。求神快快將合適的地方賜給我們。
