April Newsletter

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I hope all is well. It has been a colder Spring season over here...so much for "global warming"!

This month at Daichi Church our Tuesday night prayer and worship time was a real blessing. We experienced the Spirit of God moving upon us in a more intimate way than in past months. We were so blessed to experience the the gifts of the Spirit as the Lord ministered to us through the laying on of hands as we prayed for one another. Also, the Lord has continued to encourage us that He is at work here in the city of Hiroshima.

Our English classes at Daichi Church has focused upon the children. Particularly the neighborhood girl Natsuko who comes regularly. We pray that the Lord would indeed plant a seed in her heart that she may one day be saved. Interestingly enough, our Bible study classes have been put on hold this month due to lack of interest or schedules or what not. In any case, we trust that the Lord has a plan whatever it may be.

Also this month, I gave a sermon in Japanese for the first time. We studied the second chapter of Ephesians. Praise the Lord that the church was edified. Pastor Lee said, "It was great...but not because of what you said!" Meaning, the Spirit of the Lord was upon us. Hallelujah! Next, I will be teaching on Ephesians chapter three toward the end of in June. I would appreciate your prayers as I begin preparations.

Please pray as the Spirit leads.

Thank you for reading! May the Lord continue to lead us and guide us each and every step!

In Jesus,
Tyler
