Support has been coming in a little slow the last few months, so I’m looking for new people to contact and talk to, in order to see if they would interested in joining my team, partnering together to reach the Japanese. This is where you can be of help. If you could do one of these two things, that would help me immensely, and even more important, you’d be taking part in missions – God’s plan to reach the world for Christ. So here’s the two ways you can help:
1. Send me the name, address and phone number of who I should contact at your church to see if they would be willing to support me or allow me to come speak sometime.
2. If you are involved with a small group or Bible study, arrange to have me come talk for a little bit about Japan, and the needs over there, at one of your meetings.
#1 is easy. #2 is a little more difficult, especially for those of you who haven’t met me in person. To that end I’d love to get the chance to meet with any of you in person prior to coming to talk at your Bible study, just drop me a line. And for those of you who are out of the area, and would still like to help in this regard, let me know, it may take some planning, but if I can line up a few other opportunities to meet people in your area I could make a special trip out of it.
This is something I can’t do on my own. God will have to do it for me, and I fully believe that His favorite method of supplying is through His people. I see this as an exciting opportunity to partner with you and your church to impact people thousands of miles away with the Gospel of Christ, and that this is precisely what God wants to happen.
Also, please pray for me. Pray that God would give me the perseverance and diligence to keep pressing on, and pray that He would provide many more people willing to partner with me to spread the gospel throughout Japan. And that’s really what this is all about. Finally, please be praying for the churches I will be contacting in the near future, that God will both provide for them to the extent that they will be able to participate in sending missionaries to other countries, and that God will move in the hearts of their leadership and members to send me to Japan.
