Spring 2012 (February) Happenings

We approach mid-February with great anticipation and a huge request for your prayers.


1.  We have begun our recruitment campaign for summer workers to serve in Brazil and Paraguay.  There are several great opportunities to serve for two to three weeks in July and/or August.  Please contact the JEMS office or drop me an email for more information.



2.  My February prayer letter will be mailed out shortly, but you can see the online version in color at the following links:

3.  Please pray for upcoming ministry opportunities as I serve as guest speaker at Victory Fellowship in Torrance (2/19), LA Holiness Church (2/26), Orange County Christian Church (3/4) and San Diego Japanese Christian Church (4/26).  If there is a possibility to preach at your church or small group, please contact me for scheduling arrangements.  


4.  Two Brazilian Nikkei Free Methodist Churches sent a short term mission team to serve the Free Methodist Church in Asunción, Paraguay this past month.  It was such a blessing, as you will see from the 90-second testimony (in Spanish) of the Paraguayan Nikkei mom who was so happy to be able to bring her child to Kodomo Kyampu (Children's Camp).  


You may not be able to understand Spanish, but I think that you will feel her appreciation for the Christian workers who came to her city to share Jesus with her family and friends.


The takeaway lesson that I want to share with you is that short term missions can make a difference!!



5.  Please pray that my financial support needs will be met.  If you haven't made a commitment as yet, I would like to invite you to consider how you can support my ministry.  Please visit the JEMS Financial Support link.


Thank you!
