Paul & Violetter – 80 days of prayer – day 60
Paul & Violette ask prayer for scheduling of meetings and working out the details for leaving their home in Japan, and setting up a temporary home in the USA for their furlough in less than 4 months. Pray the Holy Spirit will work in the hearts of many English students for their salvation before they leave for the US.

Finally, pray for godly men for the ministry in the church in E Asia.
