As the days seem to fly by, we are reminded that the coming of our Lord draws nearer and that the time we have to give to Him is limited. We recognize our own limitations and that we couldn’t handle more hours in a day (He knew best), but sometimes we just wish time wasn’t so fleeting. Thank you for praying for us this past week. Good progress was made on our reports and we’ve mostly recovered from the time we lost when we were sick. There are ongoing preparations for upcoming ministry opportunities, including Bible studies, the Christmas program, and speaking opportunities for both Cherith and me to minister in Cambodia when we are there over Christmas.

On Wednesday, we were invited to the home of one of the young ladies in our church. She had invited another young lady that is here as a student, and we enjoyed the good fellowship as well as a delicious genuine Japanese dinner – fill and wrap your own sushi with a dozen options for fillings. I accompanied Adrianna’s class to their gym session (the gym is at another school down the street) Thursday afternoon. That evening we had our second English Encounter. Attendance doubled and there were 8 present this time. One lady even brought a colleague from work who seemed to be attentive to the Bible study and indicated that she would be back next time. Cherith worked hard to prepare two beautiful picture collages to hang up at church, one on the Jesus Film outreach and one on the Ladies Outreach. On Sunday, we were happy to see that they were well-received and bringing encouragement to several people.
Praise for:- good progress on reports this week, as well as the preparation of the picture collages for church.
- good attendance in church (both prayer meeting and Sunday service) and for a good choir practice.
- three more kids saying the books of the Old Testament this Sunday (including four year old Caleb).
- the opportunity the kids and I had to spoil Cherith as we celebrated her Birthday Saturday. I praise God for such a wonderful help meet in life and in ministry.
Pray for: - me as I lead the Bible study Tuesday evening (on Thankfulness).
- the A.E.E. (Child Evangelism Fellowship) seminar all day Saturday with those who have signed up.
- the Lord’s direction as we prepare for opportunities to speak in December.
