Happy New Year!

I thank God for blessing us in countless ways in 2009. As we enter 2010, we want to hold God's word from Acts 28:30,31:

"For two whole years Paul stayed there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him. Boldly and without hindrance he preached the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ."

Based on these verses, we pray to use our house church like Paul's rented house to share about God's kingdom and Jesus boldly.

One new thing that will be happening this year is our free English classes every Wednesday night at Compall Hall (near Oita train station). We hope to use this to make friends with University students and build good relationships. The classes will be held every Wednesday evening starting this week. Please pray for invitation, appropriate materials, and the work of the Holy Spirit.

Next week, we'll have a special one year anniversary pioneering worship service.

Let's continue praying for our existing and potential students (D., S., and C.)

May God help us to live as kernels of wheat this week.

  1. Happy Anniversary, Oita! Thank God for taking care of you in the past year. May His grace abound to you all the more in 2010, and may He continue to provide for all your needs and make you prosper in every way. We will pray for your English classes.
