Stephen and Kimiyo Canter: March 2006
Dear Friends, Prayer Warriors, Loved Ones, and Supporting Churches:
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ. Taikyoung, a Korean lady who speaks Japanese better than English, received Christ as her personal Saviour in January. She was baptized the following Sunday and is a sponge soaking up every little word concerning God and the Bible. Kimiyo is discipling her on a weekly basis. Pray for Taikyoung's spiritual growth and for wisdom for Kimiyo. Pray also for the healing of Taikyoung's eyes as she had laser surgery on both eyes two weeks ago.
Our Japanese Sunday School is doing well. Several visitors have attended the class since our last report, some more than once. Suzuki-san has been attending when possible; she has attended several other church functions, but the world has a strong influence, especially on the Japanese. Pray for her salvation. Hirose-san is a married lady who has attended several times. Last week, she asked what the return of Christ meant and what would happen to all the saved and unsaved people. Pray for her as she searches. Pray for our class that visitors will continue to come, that the class will grow, and that souls will be saved.
Tamura, who we asked you to pray for, has not returned. I have had several phone conversations, but he has not returned. Continue to pray for him.
Pray specifically for our upcoming evangelistic services with Tokoro-sensei in May and next fall. Pray as we plan the evangelistic services, design the flyers, and distribute them. We are planning to saturate 10,000 houses with flyers in the church neighborhood. We also want to create a generic flyer that can be use on any occasion.
Steve's language study is going well. His teacher, Mr. Yasuda, is a Christian and has taught several other missionaries before. He is currently teaching at the college on base, and his knowledge and care is a real encouragement to Steve.
Thank you for your prayers.
In His Service,
Stephen Canter
