Another day in West Tokyo

We started the day again with some more training with the Texas Super Summer Team of 103 teens. Afterward we had some lunch and then headed to Higashikoganei for HOPE track distribution. Please pray for those that received the HOPE track, that they would respond by sending in for the Free Bible Study DVD.

Afterward, we went back to the station to begin our Free Five Minute English Practice ministry, but shortly into our time of ministry, the Higashikoganei station police asked us to not minister on the property around the station. This of course was discouraging, because this is our only spot to do Free Five Minute English at Higashikoganei, so we are waiting for a plan on what to do next. Please pray that the leadership of the long term missionaries here will wisely choose the spot where we need to be in days to come.

After that incident, we finished our Free Five Minute English at Kichijoji Station. That seem to be a pretty good turn out, but we just learned that we've been kicked off that station as well for doing the same ministry, so we most likely will not go back there for ministry. Again, please pray for a place of peace where the police will not find our presence an annoyance.

The official count this morning was 60 new brothers and sisters in Christ since the beginning of the summer. I know I've heard more coming to know Christ today, but I am not sure of that number. Please pray for these new believers and the follow-up of them in discipleship and believer's baptism. Praise the Lord for one Japanese Christian getting baptized today; that makes 3!

Please also pray for our Bible Study tomorrow night with Saori. Saori is very close to accepting the Gospel and I covet your prayers for this time tomorrow night. It will be at 8:30 pm, so 7:30 am your time back home. She is also bringing a friend, so please also pray for her friend's salvation as well. Be also in prayer for Saori not to be distracted by her friend and Satan using her friend's presence to distract Saori into not making a genuine decision to accept Christ.
