ONFIRE JAPAN NEWS February 2010

Hi friends, nearby and far flung...

There are a couple of coming events which we would love your prayer and networking for.
One is a Returnee Conference, and the other is a Bethel Church Supernatural School of Ministry team visit.

If you're in Japan, please check out the details below and pray about how you could be involved.
If you are out of Japan and have contacts, friends, family in Japan, please let them know!
If you are out of Japan and have no contact with any Japanese whatsoever, then please pray! (and you could visit a local tourist spot and see if you can make some Japanese friends...)

And everyone is welcome to pray that God will use these coming events to continue to stir revival in Japan, and welcome the harvest, for His glory.

Blessings upon you all!
Jef Linscott

WHAT: All Nations Returnee Conference (ANRC10)
WHERE: Ibaragi (Tokyo Area)
DATES: March 19th to 22nd
WHO:
Japanese who were saved overseas, and have since returned to Japan (Returnees). Japanese Christian ministries and churches which reach out to returnees.
PLEASE PRAY: We are a "support organisation" for the conference, and will have our friends (Miho Arai, and Chad Huddleston) at the conference to share vision and to meet people. Please pray for God to introduce key people who we can encourage and stir with a vision for revival and harvest in Japan. Many returnees are fired up when they first come back to Japan but discouagement sets in and they often lose all connection, and sometimes lose faith. Please pray for a network of encouragement to see people connected relationally, and encouraged daily.
