Day 12  Summer Ministries

Ask God to provide a great team of university students to serve six weeks in Shimonoseki in 2008.  Pray for wisdom in the preparations for this team and many other teams that will come to Shimonoseki.  Pray that God would enlarge the faith of the church through mission trips  in Asia and fellowship with God’s people in those countries.
Annually more than 1500 Japanese are returning to Japan claiming to have become Christian while working or studying overseas.  Many of them are seeking a church that would provide them a bridge back into Japanese society.  The international flavor of Shimonoseki Christ Bible Church makes it a good place for returnees to find their niche as they transition.   Pray that God would send many of these new believers to Shimonoseki and that the church will have wisdom in discipling and encouraging these new believers.  Pray also for the Japanese who are participating in Christian home stay programs.  Pray for the effective follow-up of the Japanese youth from our city, like Tomoyo and Madoka, that the church is sending to live with Christian families and to experience Christianity outside of Japan.  The students who participate often consider Christianity for the first time while being away from family and friends.
