This month’s prayer items are pretty well copied from our May 2022 newsletter—go there to see some pics and further info about the items below.

GIVE THANKS that Jesus Christ is growing and building his church at TMC that we are planting and watering (Mt. 16:18, 1 Cor. 3:6-9).

• Worship service attendance and offerings are increasing. PRAY this might continue.
• Some parents with children are attending again and Ann teaches Bible to the children. PRAY that parents will be consistent.
• Some are considering baptism as next steps in following Christ. PRAY for those struggling with obedience to Christ.
• PRAY for our humility, gentleness, patience, and love as we maintain and model unity during leadership transitions (Eph. 4:2-3).

GIVE THANKS for Moto, pastor for Japanese language ministries; Luke & Hannah from US/Japan, pastoral couple for English ministries; and Kevin from Macau, pastoral apprentice for Chinese language ministries.

• GIVE THANKS for the pastoral couple pursuing the possibility of leading TMC’s Chinese language ministries. ASK the Lord to give them and TMC wisdom as we seek his will. Several positive interviews have taken place. Several more need to happen before they will be presented to TMC members who will decide whether to extend them an invitation.
• PRAY for another pastor/missionary or couple to join Luke & Hannah for English ministries.
• PRAY that the Lord might raise up someone to champion the children’s and ladies’ ministries that Ann has been leading.

GIVE THANKS that we can visit our children again this summer, and for our second grandson and soon coming first granddaughter.

PRAY that we will be able to hold our first EFCCM Asia retreat in Thailand in October. We have delayed it for 2 years due to covid.
