Paul and Violette Bridgman are giving thanks that the heavy rains, flooding and landslides in western Japan near where they live spared the churches and none of the believers were hurt. Pray for their new pastor to have wisdom in reaching out to needy people who come to the church at odd times, and to draw those who have been absent for a while back into fellowship. A few people are preparing for baptism. Pray they will be baptized this year.
