We celebrate Paul and Violette’s return to the US after a lifetime of service in Japan. Praise God for Sakuragaoka Church, pastor Osaka and the elders and deacons that the Lord has raised up. Ask the Lord to grow this church both in number and faith. Pray for the Bridgmans as they settle into retirement close to family in Arkansas. Ask the Lord to bring healing to their bodies and encouragement to their hearts. Pray they can visit supporters over the next year and be a light for Jesus in their retirement years.
