n Osaka, there will be a Franklin Graham Crusade, this fall. The director of this
is Chad Hammond. He and his wife Heather and 3 older children are living in Osaka, as Chad is overseeing the crusade. Heather had an emergency C-section on Friday. Doctors found that the baby was not getting enough oxygen and blood circulation in the brain.A little girl, Noa, was born safely, but the prayer is that there would be no lasting brain damage or anything like that. Doctors are doing all they can, and are not sure of the outcome yet. Will you please join your hearts with ours for this baby and precious family from America? The prayer of the righteous availeth much.
Countless people have committed themselves to praying for our ministry, and many talented people have contacted us, hoping to volunteer their time and skills to help us with all aspects of the MSI.Production for our first three animated stories begins in March 2010, and they are in the early pre-production stages right now. The project is scheduled to launch in November of 2010, coinciding with the Christmas season, so among the stories we are sharing, one will be the Christmas account as told in the Gospel of Luke.Our goal is to reach 1 million people by the end of 2010 by handing out flyers in major cities. The flyer will direct mobile phone users to the animated videos as well as to a database that will help them find a near-by church or Christian community center (using their phone’s GPS).The cost to hand out 1 flyer is only about $.05, and the flyers are going to be the most expensive aspect of our project (1 million flyers will cost around $45k). Knowing that a nickel could change a life, both for time and eternity, is an amazing thought.
This was sponsored by VIP International Club. Of the 600 who attended, there were business men, political leaders and international representatives. About one third were non-Christians. And of the 18 Diet members who attended, 11 were non-Christians. Pray especially that these leaders will come to Jesus.
If you have prayer requests, please send them to Don Wright and we will post them.
Hello,
We are involved in missions in Yamanashi, the sister city with Iowa. We usually have at least one teacher from Iowa join our congregation while here teaching, but we would love to be able to encourage the high school students, too, to visit our church. We meet at Yamanashi Eiwa College. I believe it would be a good bridge for young, Japanese students who may be interested in English and western culture. If you have any questions, or if we can do anything to help bring any to Jesus, please let us know. God bless!
