Glory to God: Jude 2:24-25

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.

Almost "out the door!"

It’s almost time for us to depart for Japan. Our flight leaves on the 15 th of September. The tickets are purchased, passports are ready, visas, clothes, a few boxes of personal items and our hearts are prepared for the journey.

Even though we have been praying and preparing for the last 20 years to head out into the mission field abroad, it seems like the majority of the preparation is all happening at once – in a matter of a few short days. But we know it only seems that way. God has had this in mind from before we were born.

It is with mixed emotions that we make the final preparations, because we love the body here deeply. We are so longing to see evangelism and discipleship thrive in a little suburb of Tokyo and then blossom and spread across the entire Nation of Japan. We have the very real sense that this work of God begins with our hearts and reaches out to a people being prepared by His Holy Spirit to know Him personally.

Praise Reports:

• God has continued to guide and provide as we have stepped out in Faith.
• We received a wonderful, warm welcome while visiting Calvary Chapel Thousand Oaks. We are so appreciative of their prayers and support.
• We are thankful for the many friends who have shared their love for us in so many tangible ways through assisting in moving, sharing their homes for meetings and assisting us in coordinating this monumental process.
• We praise God for all those who have made commitments of monthly support and gifts. We know God will continue to bless you as you, like we, step out in Faith.

Prayer Requests:

• For God’s blessing as we visit Evangel Christian Fellowship in Riverside this weekend.
• For God to bring buyers as we sell two vehicles, assorted furniture, and musical gear to help support the mission to Japan.
• We are stepping out in Faith for the final portion of our monthly support. Pray that God’s people will not miss out on the blessing of being a “sender” for the mission field.
• For continued health as we work very hard in the final preparations.
