joel & pauline black | home assignment

• Pray for Masa, a man Joel met at the YMCA in Niagara Falls whose wife attends Japanese Bible studies here. Pray that Joel
  will have opportunities to meet him this summer.

• Pray for the Japanese Bible studies that happen twice a month in Niagara Falls. On June 30, one more will be baptized (several from the Bible Study have been baptized the last couple years).

• Pray for the planning of short term trips to Japan from churches in Ontario that we have been involved with.

• There are a couple of neighborhood families we are getting to know. Pray that God will use our
  time here. Both families have a child in Isaiah's
  kindergarten class. Pray that as we see them almost daily, they would see God's love displayed in our family life.

• Thank God for the encouragement we receive each time we speak at a church or small group. God is using our time here with our churches to renew our excitement for what God is doing in Japan.

• Thank God for refreshing us. Being in Canada, surrounded by old friends and family refuels us and is preparing us for our return!
