Pray for Bryan & Whitney

Jackson

IMB Missionaries Serving in

Takasaki, Japan

Prayer Concerns:

1. Pray for our community and neighbors. We are often overwhelmed by the lostness and darkness here.

2. Pray that we would be obedient to how ever He would desire us to be light in our city of over 400,000.

3. Pray as we continue language learning and experi-encing culture. Without language we cannot yet share the Gospel which is our hearts cry and prayer.

4. Pray for the church plant at the clinic and for Bryan as he preaches and shepherds this group. Pray for us both as we meet new people and try to continue on without our supervisor and leadership. We are a bit overwhelmed at the task before us.

5. Pray for the Lord to show us ways to minister in our area.
