SOUTH AFRICA
We appreciate your prayers while David and Sue Verwey are in South Africa AGAIN! taking meetings and sharing about the work in Japan until the end of November.
The schedule is jam packed with meetings almost everyday!
Pray with us that the Lord would help them share about the great work He is doing here, and for travel safety on the road.

Where are they speaking?

MEDIA MINISTRY:
There are many in Japan who are hesitant to come to church for fear that they might be shamed by those around them or that they may not be welcomed if they are not a christian.
We pray that this video would help draw local residents and clearly show that all are welcome to the Father’s house.

THE MEDIA GAP:
There is a media gap between the Japanese church and society, where great work is being done in the church but it is not shared effectively online.
CHURCH- 70% of pastors approaching retirement age, average church at only 30 members, lacking the funding or talent needed to effectively use media in engaging the next generation for Christ.
SOCIETY- +94% of Japanese are connected to the internet, +90% of users actively browsing through mobile devices.
HELP US CLOSE THE GAP
There are churches that would like to create a promotional video for their church but don't have the funds to get the project rolling.
If you feel led to partner with us in this mission to close the media gap with the Japanese church, please contact us!

Praise the Lord for all your hard work and for the new spaces that can be used to share the love of Jesus with those around.
God bless you for God work.

MONTANA
This last week the Lord sent us a framing professional and his two boys, who took the project where we could not without structural expertise.
So grateful for His children in Montana willing to help…
Special thanks also to the 15 or so strong men who jumped in to help with the heavy lifting.
We’re almost there, folks!
Thank you all for your faithful prayers and support
