Our CE course ended officially on Monday, and I wanted to update you on this critical outreach that I've been involved with, along with many of the ladies in our Int'l ladies group. I can't believe the course is already completed- the time went so fast.
We had 4 ladies in our course. They are all keen to understand the bbl, and 3 of them will return to Japan in August. They are all moms, so meeting during the daytime is more convenient for them. Please pr for the ladies- they all understand about JC and about sn in their hearts and lives, but are finding it hard to choose him because of their cultural backgrounds.
At- right now she feels she can't choose JC because in Japan, people believe in many gds and they don't choose one over the other, or which one is greatest. Pr for her to understand about Gd.
Sash-when we asked her what it might look like to follow JC for her, she said that if it meant denying herself (ie putting JC first in her life) then she would not choose it, because she wasn't sure that etnl life was very valuable to her. Pr for her to see etnl life as a valuable relationship right now.
Kaz- has asked for a bbl and is serious about wanting to read it. She has asked several people about getting one, and I know she wants to understand more about Gd. She still finds it hard to choose JC because her husband has many questions that she can't answer about the bbl, and she feels that a greater understanding of the bbl will help her to believe. Praise Gd for her open heart.
JY- says she believes in JC, but comes from a culture of cultural belief in JC. When we described a C as a person who believes and follows JC she had mant questions about the following aspect, and her questions indicated some underlying problem with needing to follow and not just believe.
Thank you for lifting up these ladies with me this past 7 weeks. Our follow up time with the 3 ladies from Japan is short, since they will be returning home in 5 or 6 weeks and they are also taking many vacation trips to travel in Europe. Please be asking that we could meet one on one to study and chat about these things more. Believe it or not I didn't think to take a photo of our group! I'll try to get some photos at the next social event if I can so you can put names with faces.
