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.
COMMUNITY EVENTS
Its getting warmer, and churches are beginning to plan more community events leading up to Easter. Leaders pour a lot into these opportunities to connect with their local neighbors.
The other day a missionary shared that their church held a mochi, “rice pounding event.” Over 180 people came packing this small church that they almost ran out of mochi!
Pray with us as we support these churches in their various community events.

Matthew 19:14
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.
Through child care and English outreach programs children are introduced to the teachings of Christ in partnership with different churches. We are busy preparing for graduation season now!
Pray with us that seeds planted will bear fruit in the fullness of God’s time.

Quoted this verse this morning!
WATCH OUT!
In our area we don’t have warning signs for deer or other wild life, our signs are for the elderly!
We have at least three or four retirement homes that are walking distance from our headquarters, and we try our best to maintain a connection with the local residents there. Ever since covid though, outside guests are seldom welcome due to the cautious nature of the Japanese. They allow us to visit on special days like “respect for the aged day” or Christmas to give them flowers and a small gift from our childcare program.
Pray for the many elderly in Japan who spend a lot of time in isolation, that they may also know the love of the Lord.

How "lonely" without Christ!
