6 New Supporting Churches

by

March was one crazy month as we traveled thousands of miles, but the Lord took care of us each step of the way. We were in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and California! Which marks our first coast to coast trip.

One morning we woke up in Beaufort, SC near the Atlantic and that night we were in San Bernadino, CA near the Pacific Ocean. We were in 3 missions conferences and 11 meetings. We had 5 new churches take us on for support!

On the first Wednesday of April, we had another church vote to take us on. We praise the Lord for what He has been doing through His people! Thank you, to each person who has prayed for us and each church that has had us in to present our ministry!

Pray for Kani City 可児市

by

Kani city is located in the Gifu Prefecture and has an estimated population of 99,318. Athens, GA (Home of the Bull Dogs) is 3x larger in area, but has close to the same amount of people. Hopefully that gives you a better idea of how dense the population is in Kani. The town of Kani was formed in 1955 by a merger of 7 towns and villages, and later gained its city status in April 1, 1982.

Kani City is located in the “heart” of Japan, in the south part of Gifu Prefecture. It is a city formed on tradition and history, with abundant greenery and a rich natural environment. The hill situated in the east part of the city is famous for being the cradle of Shino Pottery. The central part is famous for being the place where the great General Mitsuhide Aketi was born and for the ruins of Akechi Castle.

Many Buddhist and Shinto Shrines are located throughout the city. Every time I see a picture of one, it reminds me of Is. 45:20 “…they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save”
