Summer this year has been a difficult time for people in Japan. In just one week, during July, at least 65 people died of heatstroke and many thousands were admitted to hospital. Heavy rainfall also led to flooding, mudslides and fatalities. Please pray that CLC can minister through Bibles, books and testimony to many people who are tired and feeling hopeless in such situations.
Pray too for the CLC team, some of them are nearing retirement, as there are also health issues and other problems.
Praise God for good sales of a new translation of the Japanese Bible last year. However, generally sales are still not enough, and the work has suffered financially for quite a while. Pray for wisdom, encouragement and God’s strength for the team.
