ServeBeyond is the new name for the Evangelical Free Church of Canada Mission. It remains the international mission arm of the Evangelical Free Church of Canada (efcc.ca). So we are now missionaries with ServeBeyond.

Tokyo Multicultural Church is going through leadership transition as older missionaries begin to move into the background and as we seek new leaders.

• PRAY for TMC’s younger pastors/missionaries who are learning how to assume overall responsibility as well as take on specific ministry roles.
• PRAY that the Lord might lead an English ministries pastor/missionary couple to TMC who can join our current part-time bivocational English ministries pastoral couple.
• A Chinese ministries pastor/missionary couple is considering coming to TMC via Singapore. TMC’s Leadership Team and the attenders of TMC’s Chinese Fellowship have each met with them several times by zoom.
• GIVE THANKS that this couple amazingly heard about TMC’s need for a Chinese ministries leader through another mission agency in Japan.
• GIVE THANKS that the Lord seems to have been preparing them for Japan and a ministry like TMC for years.
• PRAY for wisdom for both TMC and this couple as we seek the Lord’s will.
• PRAY that if the Lord leads this couple to TMC, he will give us and their sending mission agency success in procuring their visas.

We are looking forward to visiting our children in the US again this summer. We will also be receiving some regular six-month interval medical follow-up.

• GIVE THANKS for our second grandson born in March.
• PRAY for our daughter as she gives birth to our first granddaughter in mid-July, for a safe delivery and healthy baby.

Thank you for Praying for the Tokyo Littles! – PTL #170
