God is Faithful

"Rejoice always, pray continually, in everything give thanks, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
1Thessalonians 5:16-18


Answered Prayer:

• We have a new school teacher!! Rebekah Hager was appointed to Cadence International early this week and she is excited to come and join our team. This was a HUGE answer to prayer.
• God has graciously answered prayer by providing Hope and Jenna with some new friends. Emiko and Carrie are sweet, Christian girls who are the exact same age as Hope and Jenna. We thank the Lord for His faithfulness in this area.
• The new Lighthouse oven was delivered and installed yesterday with the help of Joel, Zorian, and a young sailor named Josh. We thank the Lord for this wonderful answer to prayer and wish to thank our dear friends, the Poindexters, for purchasing the new unit.
• God has been faithful to help Paul with his lesson preparations each week in the midst of a very busy schedule. Paul began teaching in 1 Corinthians one year ago and he is presently on chapter nine! "Preach the Word!" - 2 Timothy 4:2
• Paul and Stacy have been enjoying some wonderful date nights recently as Mary, Elizabeth, and other kind souls have offered to watch our girls one night a week. What a blessing!
• A "Cold Stone" creamery was just built only twenty minutes from the Lighthouse. Maybe not a prayer item...but certainly a praise!!! Mmm Mmm!
• Our dear friends, Eric and Kathy Schramkowski, just gave birth to a beautiful little girl this very morning! Her name is Noel Elyse. Congratulations Eric and Kathy!!!!

Prayer Requests

• Please pray for our dear friends, Brian and Aimee Kleager, as they join us here at the Lighthouse during the month of June. Brian and Aimee were in our ministry during our years in Germany and they were recently appointed as Cadence missionaries. Pray that this will be a positive and rewarding experience for them as they continue to prepare for vocational ministry. We look forward to spending time with them here in Japan.
• Pray that we would see a mighty movement by the Holy Spirit in the hearts and lives of our men and women here at the Lighthouse in the weeks ahead. The evidence will be a love of fellowship, worship, prayer, evangelism, and service. Pray also that we would live exemplary lives of holiness and integrity before the flock of God in our charge.
• Pray that the Lord would provide all of Rebekah's support so that she might come and settle in here at the Lighthouse before the new school year begins.
• Pray that the Lord would open up a door for us to minister to singles 'on base' with the blessing of our chaplains. There has not been a singles ministry on the Yokosuka base since we arrived nearly three years ago.

Practical need

• If anyone has a used laptop computer that they would be willing to donate or sell at a resonable price to the Lighthouse please contact Paul. We use it for lessons, announcements, and worship slides (PowerPoint) each week. One with a Windows XP operating system is preferred. Paul's email is pscadence@msn.com. Thank you!

Thank you for standing with us in prayer. We know that nothing of eternal significance will be accomplished without the power of prayer. The Lord bless you as you follow hard after Him.

In Christ Alone,
Paul
