We're praising God for the good turnout at the Wednesday night Christmas candlelight service of a church that meets at CAJ. Quite a few newcomers attended and heard the good news of Jesus Christ. Thanks for praying! 

Japanese need the good new of Jesus at Christmas. They don't understand the real celebration. They focus on New Year's, when millions and millions of Japanese go to the temple.

Thanks for praying:

• Ask God to draw Japanese non-Christians to Himself through the special events CAJ parents are doing.
• Praise God that Caitlin arrived safely and that we're having good family time.
• Ask God to provide staff for next year. CAJ needs teachers (band, home ec, and elementary) and a technology coordinator.

Merry Christmas! And thanks for being involved in God's work in Japan!
