PLEASE PRAY FOR K'S CAFE
 

This past month Kuni-San hosted a Black Gospel Workshop near his Cafe in Tokyo. He partnered with Ray Sidney (workshop leader) to build new relationships with people who do not know Jesus. Please pray for these new relationship to yield spiritual fruit through the ongoing Black Gospel Choir outreach each month at the Cafe. Kuni-San's Cafe is a very significant hub in Tokyo for ministry and outreach. Please pray for the believers who gather each week for worship, pray and digging into the Word of God. Please pray for much fruitfulness this summer as they share Christ with others. K's Cafe is Kuni's way of providing personal income and a place for ministry to take place. Pray for his summer business to flourish.

PLEASE PRAY FOR MATT HIGBY
 

Matt has been one of my Japanese Ministry interns for the last two and half years. I am proud of his growth and accomplishments. Last month he finished and was awarded his BA Degree in Asian Studies at California State University of Long Beach. He has also been very faithful in sharing Jesus and the Gospel with many Japanese students during this time and has seen much fruit. Please pray for Matt as he raises support this summer with Encompass World Partners as a Special Assignment Missionary here in Long Beach while he continues to take steps towards long term ministry in Japan. Matt is now able to receive support from U.S. partners through Encompass World Partners.

PRAY FOR OUR SUMMER "RELATIONAL BRIDGES"
 

Every summer provides an opportunity for our team to connect with new contacts through what we call "RELATIONAL BRIDGES". Please pray for relationships to be formed that lead to spiritual fruit this summer. The RB's we will be running this summer are monthly BBQ's, weekly Surfing, and a Mountain Retreat on Labor Day weekend. Summer can be a very busy and fruitful time that sets the stage for our Fall follow-up. So far God has given us 5 new families and several new students that we will be following up on. Please pray for these new relationships and even for more contacts throughout the summer. Every summer these RB's have been very instrumental in leading many to Christ as Savior.

PLEASE PRAY FOR
JUNKO SAITO SAN
 

Please pray for Junko Saito-San who has recently been approved by Encompass World Partners to server in our Japanese Ministries of Great L.A. as a Special Assignment Missionary. We are excited and thankful for Junko as she oversees our women's outreach and disciple making. She has seen much fruit that last 6 years she has been serving with us and we are confident she will continue to see much more fruit. She is currently in Japan for 6 weeks of follow-up with returnees and seek support partners. Please pray for her time with the returnees and for God to supply her needed support for this ministry. Junko is now able to receive support from U.S. partners through Encompass World Partners.

PLEASE PRAY FOR THE MARIN'S
 

The Marin's are already a big answer to your prayers in that they are newly appointed Encompass World Partners missionaries to the Japanese Ministries of Greater L.A. They ask that you pray they can be fully funded by the end of the summer. They also ask that you pray for their Language Acquisition training in the Fall before joining our team in Long Beach.

If you would like to partner with the Marin's and help them become fully funded you can do so on our Encompass Web Site.
 

PLEASE PRAY FOR KANAMI-SAN
 

We praise God for the growth we have seen in Kanami-San. You prayed for her salvation while she was a student here in Long Beach and God answered your prayers after Kanami-San returned to Japan last year. She will be returning to the So-Cal area in August for additional education and asks that you pray for her as she has this opportunity to join our Japanese Church family and learn more about following and serving Jesus. Please pray for the details for housing and school to all fall into place.

PLEASE PRAY FOR THE TEAM


I praise God for our Japanese ministry team and for their passion, vision and commitment to making Japanese Disciples. Please pray for wisdom, teamwork and effectiveness as they work together to see more fruitful evangelism and disciple making in 2015. Pray for God to keep them spiritually healthy and motivated. Please pray for me as I lead and coach the team into more fruitful disciple making and church planting.

PLEASE PRAY FOR THE JAPANESE CHURCH
 

 
Please pray for our Japanese Church family this summer as they meet for worship, prayer, and growing in God's word. Most of all, please pray for their summer contact making and out reach. We have seen God work in and through this community of believers as Japanese contacts see how God can change lives and form a loving and caring spiritual family.

PLEASE PRAY FOR CASSIE
 

Please pray for Cassie as she serves with our Encompass ministry partners in Okinawa for 6 weeks this summer. Pray for Cassie to see fruit and for her to learn more about God's leading for her future ministry direction. She will be working with Ministry Partners Shu & Minami Aoki and Encompass missionary Melisa Guiles. Cassie will also be working with OCSI (Okinawa Christian School International) where the Aoki's reach out to the students. OCSI currently has job opportunities open for teachers.

PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR SUPPORT
RECENTLY WE HAVE FALLEN INTO THE RED

Our Goal for 2015
FUNDING FOR FRUITFULNESS IS:

100 NEW PARTNERS

We are asking you to pray if God might be leading you to join our support team. Currently we are under funded and are praying for new partners to join our "FUNDING FOR FRUITFULNESS" campaign. We are trusting God for 100 new Funding For Fruitfulness Partners who can give $10 a month. Your donation funds our goal to make more Fruitful Japanese Disciples, helps start and develop Japanese churches and to train more Japanese Leaders.

Your ongoing support and prayers are deeply appreciated and help keep this ministry effective. Thank you so much for your partnership.

Many Blessings this summer as you enjoy family and ministry.
