Japan is soooo beautiful at this time of years. The cherry blossom trees are in full bloom and the smell of spring is in the air. This is my favorite time of the year! My parents came for a visit a few weeks ago and we had been hoping that the cherry blossoms would be blooming while they were here. Unfortunately, we only got to see the plum trees blooming. These usually bloom in early March. It took me about 8 years of living here before I was able to distinguish between a plum tree and a cherry blossom tree! Anyway, they are both beautiful.
Just as new life is springing up all around us, we are praying that God will cause new life to "spring up" in the hearts of the Japanese people. Would you pray with us that as we are out this month, God would give us opportunities to share about the new life that is found only in Jesus Christ? Thank you!
