Matthew 28:19-20

"Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you..."

The above two verses were fulfilled tonight, July 30th, 2009. Katrina, my teammate, has been working with a woman named Ai for about a month and a half now. About two weeks ago after meeting for several Bible Studies, Ai made a decision to accept the Gospel! Now tonight, I was able see Ai get baptized tonight! It was an awesome thing to see a Japanese woman follow through in believer's baptism and now will meet with one of the permanent missionaries, Kimberly Burns now for follow-up and discipleship. Praise the Lord that everything is working out with Ai this summer! Continue to pray for her and her growth in the Lord.

Other than that, we had Bible Study with Saori last night. That was another encouraging time in the Word with her. She along with her friends Hiroko is growing closer and closer to accepting the Gospel. Luckily, one of the journeyman, Sonya will be following both of them up when we leave, so that is a huge praise! Please continue to pray for Saori and Hiroko. Pray for their salvation. Pray for their growth. Pray that the walls around their hearts will be broken!

Remember, I will be meeting with Tak this coming Saturday. Please pray that this will be a time of encouragement as I pursue encouraging him to be more bold about his faith! Pray for him, as he is a light in this spiritually dark nation!

Monday I will be leaving. Please pray everything with flights works out. Lindsay and I are flying standby, and that can be very stressful. Please pray everything works out.
