Greetings Friends and Supporters!
The past two months have been great months of productive ministry for Mustard Seed Global Fellowship. I am excited to fill you in on how things are going with our recent church plant in Nagoya as well as some future projects we are working towards.
Mustard Seed Christian Church in Nagoya
Our church plant in Nagoya continues to thrive with two recent baptisms as well as a young man, training for pastoral ministry. This young man, Taisei, became a Christian in Australia, but was recently baptized at the church and wants to become a minister of the gospel in the future. He has a long road ahead, but we are excited to be training up someone to help minister with us in Japan. The church is currently going through the book of Ephesians and there are a handful of people very close to making decisions to follow Jesus. God is at work! Keep praying.
New Church Planter & Team Heading to Osaka
We recently hired a new church planter to be a member of a new team we are building to plant a church in Osaka, Japan. Ryan Fletcher, is a graduate of Ozark Christian College who recently finished a preaching internship at College Heights Christian Church in Joplin, MO. Ryan said he joined Mustard Seed because, “The whole world needs an opportunity to hear about Jesus and the whole world needs Christ-centered churches. Planting a church in an unreached city it is a faithful thing to do with my life and I am glad to serve in this way.” We are excited to have Ryan on board and are in the process of adding to this new team. This summer, I am an taking Ryan through an extensive pre-field training program to help prepare him for effective ministry in Japan.
Prayer Requests
Please continue to pray for the following 10 cities:
- Osaka, Japan
- Tokyo, Japan
- Karachi, Pakistan,
- Dhaka, Bangladesh
- Mumbai, India
- Delhi, India
- Calcutta, India
- Tehran, Iran
- Bangkok, Thailand
- Istanbul, Turkey
These are the 10 largest, least-reached cities in the entire world and the places that MSGF wants to plant churches in the future. We are still seeking God’s direction for the best strategy to accomplish this goal and ask that you would join us in seeking his wisdom and asking him to raise up workers to plant new churches in these cities.
