A few prayer requests

Hey everyone,

This weekend we are going to the Oktama Bible Challet (the english camp) for four days. Bruce and Laura said that this session is one of the most difficult sessions because the majority of the kids have never heard about Jesus and none of them speak english. We are faced with a little bit of difficulty however God will use it! Please keep them in your prayers. Also, Yoshie is going to speak 6 times while we're there and yesterday she wasn't exactly prepared. She has been really busy with work and being our interpreter etc...so she's a little stressed and worn out (all the time keeping a smile on her face!!) We love her!.

VBS is next week from tuesday to saturday and so far we have two kids signed up. Sensei says that usually a bunch of kids sign up at the last minute...please pray that they do! and for our team that we would keep up our energy level as this will be our busiest week with English lessons and VBS everyday. We're excited and a bit nervous. Starting tuesday it will be our last week of ministry. Please pray that we would keep strong until the end. Us girls are getting a little homesick (again) but we know we'll be home very soon! I can't wait to see you guys!!!

My students Mr. and Mrs. Sato are finished with the classes. I talked to Mrs. Sato about getting them a Bible but she said they had one and she was going to read it...She sounded really excited. I had a chance to talk to both of them about this weekend and our purpose for going to the camp and they asked many questions about Christianity. Please keep them in your prayers... that they really would read the Bible they have and that God would bring someone into their lives to help them with their questions. They were so fun to talk to!!!

God has provided so much over the past 4 weeks and has worked in the hearts of our students. To Him be the glory!

"but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint."
