After a thirty-year reign, a new Emperor took the throne on May 1. The new era was named Reiwa, which means \u201cbeautiful harmony.\u201d We know that only true peace and harmony come from knowing Jesus Christ, and when Christ returns, the whole world will experience perfect peace and harmony. Until that time, we are honored and excited to have you working with us to bring this peace and joy that only Christ can give to the Japanese people.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, stores in Japan have started to monopolize on Easter as an opportunity to sell Easter themed food and decorations. Though they may see the word Easter in stores, the Japanese have no idea what it means or why it is celebrated. It has given us the opportunity to share the meaning of Easter and why we celebrate it with our friends and with our English students and their families. We always read an English book to the students in our English conversation classes. We read the Easter story during the month of April. Several of the children were impressed by Christ\u2019s sacrifice for them. Please pray with us that these seeds will grow in their hearts and the hearts of their families when the children go home and share the stories with their families and friends.<\/p>\n<p>We were blessed to have Clayton and Regina Kipps, from Harbor of Hope in Christiansburg Virginia, come to Japan and minister at our church. The people were blessed by their message and fellowship and touched by their love for God and people. We enjoyed showing them around Japan and sharing the needs of the Japanese people and the challenges of reaching them with the gospel due to the strong Buddhist and Shinto traditions that are embedded in their culture.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #800000\">Family<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/06\/IMG-2308-e1560786617204.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2843 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/06\/IMG-2308-e1560786617204-270x270.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"270\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/06\/IMG-2308-e1560786617204-270x270.jpg 270w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/06\/IMG-2308-e1560786617204-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 270px) 100vw, 270px\" \/><\/a>Justin has been taking CLEP tests online to earn college credit.

Please pray that he will effectively share God\u2019s love with all of the campers. Hunter has been competing in many swim meets this year. He also qualified to swim in the state competition this summer. As the only Christian at his swimming school, please pray that he can be God\u2019s light to his teammates as well as the coaches. Olivia had a ballet recital in May. She had a lot of fun, and all of her fellow dancers, as well as the audience, commented on Olivia\u2019s smile while she is dancing.

Los ni\u00f1os y j\u00f3venes en nuestras iglesias, movi\u00e9ndose r\u00e1pidamente y orando fervientemente, tendr\u00e1n voces autorizadas. Sus ojos reflejar\u00e1n el fuego de Dios, con sus propios seres poderosamente llenos de Su presencia. <\/p><p> Un ni\u00f1o puede presentarse ante la congregaci\u00f3n y exponer la Palabra de Dios con sabidur\u00eda m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de sus a\u00f1os. Otro podr\u00eda venir en poderosa intercesi\u00f3n.

A trav\u00e9s de su apoyo, llevan a los ni\u00f1os a Cristo y les ense\u00f1an sobre temas de crecimiento espiritual. Los maestros est\u00e1n persiguiendo sus propios objetivos y deben ser instructores internacionales acreditados.
