Summer's End is in Sight...

...and I have mixed feelings about it! I am looking forward to when one day the craziness will tone down. But I am also so so sad to think about the summer ending as well because that means goodbye to all the great volunteers and interns we have with us right now.

Currently on the ground, we have 120 or so high schoolers from Texas (yeehaw :P) along with our own high school and college interns. It has been great! They are almost done though, with tomorrow being a free day, and the following their last ministry day. Then they will be on a plane heading back to Texas. Please pray that they will finish strong! That many seeds will be sown, and that God will protect and care for them, and that we will even be able to see fruit!

Speaking of fruit, a girl accepted Christ today! She is a high school girl, and she was eating it all up! We will call her EK-san. Please pray that she grows in her understanding and love for Christ, and that she will want to get baptized!

Also, please pray for Shi-san. She is not confident in her new faith, so please pray for her that her desire to know Christ personally will grow, and that she will make time for us to meet to study God's Word together! And that she will want to get baptized soon! It would be so wonderful if she would get baptized before the interns go home since she is very special to some of them...

Thank you! I just want to say, even with the hard times, I love my job, being able to share Christ's love to the Japanese people. Please pray diligently for them, that God continues to work in their hearts so that they will understand and accept the Gospel!
