28 JUNE 99 - PRAISE & PRAY from the HILLS of JAPAN

The things most on our minds right now are Jeffrey's up coming
evaluation period and the Friends Together Tour. Please pray for
God's oversight and peace during these times.

We would that you all prayed especially for Erika Moriguchi this week.
She has been living with us since the beginning of May. We've written
of her before. She has seen with her eyes and heard with her ears the
Good News of Jesus Christ. We have discussed in detail what it means
to become a member of our heavenly Father's family of love. These
discussions continue. But there are deep, deep family problems and
hurts that have surfaced also. Please pray that Erika would turn to
God and believe. Pray that she will turn to the Great Physician for the
spiritual and emotional healing needed in her heart. Pray also that we
would have all wisdom (and language ability) as we counsel with her.
