Pray that Ben’s testimony through this concert and his time spent in Japan will see many seek Christ and turn to him. Pray for Ben as he returns to the States this week.
• Shannon Little– Three weeks from today, I will be on a plane headed back to Japan!  While I am super excited about leaving, I am almost equally sad.  The goodbyes are being said, the bags are being packed, and for every one thing I cross off my “to do” list, I feel like I am adding three!  Please pray for all of the transitions, that I will be able to say goodbye well, and for the two services I still have on my calendar before I leave.  Also please pray for my mom as she will be by herself again.
• Daniel & Kate Speer– It has been over a year of support raising and we are still in the US, traveling and seeking financial partners for our first career term.
