How you can help:

Be a Prayer Warrior

Prayer is a source of provision, protection and peace. Thank you for being willing to pray with me and for me concerning the following.

• Financial Provision. Though I raised 100% in pledges before I left for Japan, I am currently only 50% supported, meaning only 50% of those who pledged to support God’s ministry in Japan thru me have been faithful in their giving. Please pray the other 50% will be able to give soon or God will provide through other people or means.
• Guidance and Housing. Pray for wisdom as I choose an apartment for the coming 3 years of life and ministry in Aomori. Pray that we can find a suitable place within my budget or can adjust my budget accordingly. Pray we find a place near the church and in a friendly and safe community.
• Diligence and Perseverance. Pray for continued diligence and perseverance in my studies. As I said my study load and pace is intense, please pray I can maintain it and gain the knowledge and skills I need before I finish in 2.5 weeks.
• Fellowship. I am currently “floating” in Sapporo, only staying for two months so building and maintaining a community is difficult. Pray that I can still enjoy and feel connected to the students, teachers and community here for the short time we are together.

Within exactly one month left to go before I head to Japan, please pray that

• I end my month at teaching and seminary well
• I find a way to see my non-local family members, specifically my sister and her family in Georgia
• I use my time wisely, meeting with and attending events that God has laid before
• I find and maintain balance: eating nutritiously,  working out regularly, and sleeping properly
• car and financial matters are transferred and handled properly
• I am a source of light, joy and hope to all who cross my path here in the US before I leave
• God prepares a place for me both physically and in the hearts and minds of the team and church I will be joining in Aomori
