GOLDEN WEEK
Last week was one of the most festive times of the year in Japan known as Golden Week. The period includes four national holidays and stretched from 29 April to May 6th.
It was one of the busiest times of year for travel as millions of people made the most of the extended time off and beautiful spring weather. Traffic all over the country was INCREDIBLE! After a week of hard play it’s back to work for Japan.

BIBLES
245 Bibles handed out in front of a University!
Some staff went out with the Gideons to pass out Bibles earlier this month. Praise the Lord, they were received openly by so many. Let's pray together now for these seeds freshly planted.
John 6:63
The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life.

Wonderful!.. when students see the "where to find help" index in the front of the Gideon Bibles they are struck and start to engage with God's powerful Word 🙏
Praying that the seed of salvation will be planted.
Good for you and your perseverance! Praying for those who accepted the Bibles. It’s sad that many more refuse the gift of living water.

For those Japan Mission members who knew Jean Tasker, she went to be with the Lord Jesus on 24 March.
FRESH BEGINNINGS
In Japan, April is the beginning of everything!
It means back to school for kids, the start of a new year for companies, and the beginning of so many other things in the daily lives of the Japanese. As the aroma of cherry blossoms fill the air you can sense the new season arriving for 2026.
Pray with us as we also share the fresh life we enjoy in our daily walk with the Lord during this Easter season.

TIME CAPSULE
Last week we had 8 kids graduate from CAYA Kinder into first grade. On the final day we buried a time capsule containing letters to their future selves and their parents as they took their next steps into elementary school. We will dig it up together in 6 years as they move onto junior high!
Please pray with us for these children as they take the next step in their lives. May the Lord continue to grow the seeds that have been planted, and strengthen the bonds formed with these families.

15 YEARS AGO
On Wednesday this week we reflected on the tragic triple disaster 15 years ago. At 2:46pm, Japan was hit by an earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdown. Please continue to pray with us for the many who call the Tohoku region home, and for the Christians faithfully sharing the love of God there.

A SCATTERED SEED
One of the students attending English classes at a local church is joined every week by a social worker to assist with his mental disability. Initially he was easily overwhelmed by things in his environment, but has settled down after getting more comfortable.
Week after week this social worker had no choice but sit through Bible times as an assistant to this student. As time went on he began to listen more intently and started asking questions from himself. A seed has clearly taken root now as this social worker began to bring his own Bible to class and comes prepared with questions!
Pray with us for this man and many others, as seeds are scattered every week and sometimes they take root in unexpected places. May the Lord continue to stir in hearts as students regularly gather.

Praying for this man to accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior.
Sincerely GRATEFUL! Thank you, LORD! May the social worker and "patient" come to know you as LORD and SAVIOUR !
Thank God, may the planting of His Word bear fruit in Jesus name & the healing of that disability in Jesus name. Prayed.
