Spiritual Progression

Today was a really good day. Part of our team (Higashikoganei) went ahead and did distribution around our ministry site. Afterward, the other half of us went ahead and met the other half at Mitaka and did some Free Five Minute English Practice. This proved to be a pretty productive time. Our team along with Mitaka's team talked to a combined 20+ people. We were able to present the Gospel to over half of them. Josh and I met a guy and he agreed to having Bible Study this Sunday. Please pray for H-san. He seems very interested in religion, especially the Bible, so please pray! We are meeting with him Sunday after worship at Higashikoganei Station. Please pray!

During Free Five Minute English, Katrina wasn't feeling too well and she went to Starbucks to pray and she ended up talking to this contact named N-san for about two hours or so. This was definitely a divine appointment and then part of Mitaka's team and our team met up with Katrina afterward to meet N-san and introduce ourselves. We then invited her to dinner and this was a really good time for me to share a part of my testimony with her when it comes to my experience with depression since this was once an issue in her own life. This was an awesome time in responding to this divine appointment. Please pray for her salvation. Katrina is planning to meet with her next Tuesday at Kichijoji to hang out. Please pray for their time together.

Please also pray for my other teammate Dustin's contact K-san. He's been meeting with K-san for about a month now, and things have been progressing slowly. Dustin got to hang out with him today, so please pray as they continue to hang out. Pray for K-san's salvation and Dustin's time in meeting with him.

After we had dinner with N-san, Katrina and I met with S-san. Praise God! This was such a good meeting! She really is close to believing. She is so curious about the Lord, so please pray for the Lord to convict her heart in need of a Savior. Also, please pray that next time we meet (next Thursday), that that will be the day of salvation for S-san! We asked her to meditate throughout the week until next time we see her on John 3:16 and the meaning of just simply having faith in what Jesus did for her.

It was definitely an awesome day. Please pray for Linds' contact that she is meeting tomorrow for lunch. Linds has been meeting with two contacts from her station at Kunitachi, and they have really been developing the friendship as well as the ministry relationship as well. Things have progressed nicely, so please pray for her meeting tomorrow with one of the girls, and also physical strength since she is a bit under the weather. Linds also has a friend that she's had since 2006 as an intern, named Y-san. They are planning to meet this Sunday after church, so please pray for their conversations on Sunday and that Y-san would accept the Gospel!
