Thank You!

Dear Partner,

Thank you for standing with us! We love representing you here in MS. Your prayer and partnership mean so much to us.

An Update

Michelle and kids had a wonderful time with Japanese friend Chie  and her two children Risa and Rina. They participate in the Japanese Supplemental School of Mississippi and have become friends. Through making banana bread, playing with playdo, and just talking, Michelle (kids) had opportunity to share her faith and enjoy a nice afternoon.

In the meantime, a new group helpers from Japan arrived and started important activities and improvements at the Canton Plant here in MS. Although I continue to learn many new automotive related words in Japanese, sometimes I find myself quite challenged in my work in translation. I really enjoy connecting with Japanese and have a confidence in God that He has placed me in this organization for "such a time as this". Please pray as we reach out in unique ways to the Japanese here in MS.

Ballet Magnificat

Thank you all for your prayers for Michelle, Jacob, and Abigail as they ministered in Birmingham, AL. The endeavor of moving a whole cast of dancers to a new city and putting on a major performance proved quite a challenge. Yet, God richly blessed their time there and the performance went off without a hitch.
Please pray for us and the ministry of Ballet Magnificat. Pray that God will bless and increase the anointing in greater and greater ways.

Hillsong International Leadership College - Samantha Update!

Samantha, one of our special four, appreciates your prayers as she prepares to go to Sydney, Australia. She is very much feeling the excitement (nervousness) of what it means to travel to another country for an extended stay.

She needs to make a special trip to Atlanta, GA. In order to get a proper medical clearance for VISA to Australia, she must make this trip. Please pray for her trip and for things to smoothly for getting qualifications.

Believing For:

• Trip to Atlanta. Medical appt. ($400 app.)
• Airline Tickets: ($1500 app.)
• Second half of yearly tuition (due in June/July 2014)
• Initial In-country costs to get established (rent, utilities, etc.,) *Hillsong helping with coordination

This trip to Atlanta came unexpectedly. She can only go to certain clinics to get her clearance and this clinic was one of the closest. We are thankful she got an appointment so quickly and look forward to this new adventure.

If you would like to give toward this need, just designate that your gift goes to Samantha, and we will be sure to pass it along.

An Update!

Dear Friends and Prayer Warriors,

John 17: 23
"I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that you have sent me, and have loved them as You have loved Me."

Jesus prays for all believers. In this prayer, we may know the Father God`s heart in a deeper way. Here are some nuggets to meditate on:

• God loves us in the same way He loves His Son Jesus.
• God sees you through the eyes of the finished work of the cross.
• Nothing we can do can cause  God to love us more.
• Nothing we can do to cause Him to love us any less.

With child-like faith, let`s receive a deeper revelation of God`s love through faith in Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit.

FAMILY UPDATE

God has blessed us in so many ways. I thank Him for the continued opportunity to work in translation at Nissan, to be with Japanese people in marketplace ministry, and to use this language skill. Meanwhile, Michelle works part-time cleaning the local church we attend here in MS. She also overseas the education of the children and sews at Ballet Magnificat. 

This season has proven to be challenging, very busy, and in need of much endurance. Yet, we experience His mercy and goodness each day. Please pray as we seek to be faithful and receive all He has for us at this time.
