Prayer Request

Thank you for your encouragement :)

I don't know why I've been updating so much lately hehe but I guess it's a good thing. I have a new prayer request :)

My friend Sa-san, whom I met through this past summer's interns, has been really interested in learning more about the Bible and what it says for her. I met her off and on the past couple of months, but this month is her last month in Tokyo before she moves back to where her family is. (It's not too far and she plans to visit at least once a month and I think also means to meet with me some of those times!) She quit her job as well at the end of December, so that means that all of January, she is free! So I met her earlier tonight, and we have already made plans to meet 2 more times during the next 2 weeks!

Today she brought her friend SK-san who is interested in the Bible as well. SK-san is so sweet and cute, and she has studied the Bible in the past for college. SK-san had many good questions and I think that regular Bible study meetings in the future might be possible.

Sa-san has come so far. She says that sometimes she prays to God when she is troubled. She also told me that recently she has been reading in Acts, about 3 times a week. Praise the Lord! She's not even a believer and I know she's reading the Bible some more than some of you believers out there ;) SK-san isn't as fluent in English as Sa-san, so Sa-san spent a good amount of time explaining the Gospel to SK-san, it was amazing.

Please pray that...

- the holy spirit would convict her and work in her life in the next couple of days so that the next two times we meet will really be meaningful

- Sa-san would continue to search God and continue to read the Bible for herself, even after she moves

- SK-san would also continue to be curious about Jesus and will join us the next times we meet

Thank you all very much :)
