In 1 John 5:14-15 we see one of the certainties that we have as Christians. It is that we know that God is listening to our prayers. He tells us that we have the confidence “that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us." This is a wonderful inspiration and encouragement to us to know that the Creator and Sustainer of this whole universe is really listening to the prayers we are offering for each other. Let’s continue to give our petitions to Him with confidence.

Here is the next set of prayer requests for us during SEPTEMBER 2010:

1. Please continue to pray for a much-needed full-time bookkeeper in our Accounting office at GRN in Temecula. Two of our accounting workers are beyond retirement age. We trust the Lord will call a younger one who will find real delight from the Lord to serve in this way. Psalm 20:4


2. Praise the Lord for a new tenant for our third and final suite in our GRN office building. This is a Christian ministry to children around the world called Every Generation Ministry. Pray that the Lord will continue to bless their outreach and further the Lord's kingdom through them. And pray that all 3 of our tenants will be financially able to make their monthly rent payments as this greatly helps GRN with its expenses.


3. Please pray for Ruth as she starts another year of home-schooling Matthew (8th grade) and Nathaniel (5th grade) on August 30. Pray that the boys will apply themselves and learn their subjects well. 2 Timothy 2:15

Praises
Our English outreach classes started up on the
8th. Thank you for your prayers. things are going smoothly!
so far, we have been spared some bad bugs that have gone around.

The day of the Mochi Pounding Party, it rained. Never the less, we had a good turn out. Two of my kindergarten kids came with their families, so I was glad that we had the opportunity to give the gospel message to those who don't usually hear. Because of an unexpected happening, Jim and I ended up bringing 11 elementary kids from our neighborhood back home with us on the train. What fun! (On the way, there had been four adults for 12 kids. )

Prayer Requests
Please pray for the church's Resurrection Sunday celebrations. Every year, we need permission from the city to use a near-by park, and to parade down the main street to the train station. We can't take this permission for granted. As Kasukabe gets bigger, things get more difficult. Our pastors have invested a lot of time and effort into building relationships with key people in the city government. Please pray that they would continue to find favor in the community and be granted the necessary permission for a public celebration that honors the Lord.

Pray for the salvation of our students. Sometimes they seems so close, then other times they don't seem to be getting it at all. Pray for faithfulness and effective witness on our part.

Please continue to pray for Rich and Bonnie Dennes who are preparing to go back to the States. Pray that they will be able to finish strongly, that the Lord will allow them to see fruit from their labors here, and that the preparations to leave will go smoothly. There have been some big answers to your prayers in that department, too.

We are in need of teachers to replace Rich and Bonnie. Please pray that the Lord will send the people of His choice in His time to continue building this ministry. And pray for wisdom for Pastor Yamada who is the administrator of this ministry as He seeks the Lord's will for the new school year approaching (school years begin in April here.).
