  • Chris & Leanne March 2024 Prayer Requests

    * Thank you all for your prayers. Knowing we are being lifted up in prayer by our Parkside church family is encouraging. Our oldest two kids will be attending a Spring Youth Camp with the same camp they went to last summer. They were so blessed by the time of worship and challenging messages. Please pray the Lord will use this camp to draw them closer to him. May they continue to be encouraged to make their relationship with the Lord theirs.

     

    * At the end of this month, a group of eleven people will be traveling to Atlanta, Georgia, for a homestay. There will be six non-Christian kids who have been a part of our church's English class outreach for a couple of years now, and one of their moms will be traveling with our pastor and others from the church. The group has been preparing for the trip for the last six weeks by having a Bible study together. Please pray for God's word to penetrate their hearts. May they experience safe travel. And may there be good relationships between the kids and their Christian homestay families. May the Lord use this trip for his glory and their blessing.

     

    * We are undergoing many transitions at our church. This year, three missionary families will be returning to America. We will be the only family returning after a year. Pray for wisdom and God's leading the church through these complex changes. May others within the church feel the Lord's leading to step out in faith and join the ministry in new ways. Pray also for the two families who are transitioning out of missions. All are leaving on good terms but will still need the Lord to walk them through the emotions of this chapter of their lives coming to an end.

  • Chris & Leanne February 2024 Prayer Requests

    *This month, we will be preparing to say goodbye to some good friends of ours. They have been a part of the church plant we have been working with. The Lord has used them as an example of how we, as Christian brothers and sisters, are to lavish love on each other. To show what it means to be open, honest, and accepting. It has been a privilege to work alongside them. We thank God for what he has taught us through them and pray the Lord will help us as a church continue living out the loving example they lived out. 

     

    *Please pray for them as they transition back to Hawaii. And for us as a church as we look to fill the gaps left behind. Their son is one of Mark's best friends. So, please also keep him in your prayers as he walks through this change in a personal way.

     

    *Please also pray for us as a family as we prepare to return to America for one year, beginning in the Summer of 2024. There will be a lot of details and work to prepare for this return. It will also include many goodbyes with friends. At the same time, this return is always exciting for Leanne and me as we reconnect with our church family at Parkside. For our kids, it means leaving their home, Japan, and going to a place where they feel less connected. So please pray for their hearts as well as we plan for this move back to America.

  • Chris & Leanne January 2024 Prayer Requests

    *We are so thankful for your prayers. The Lord blessed our different Christmas gatherings. We are so thankful for the kids and families who were able to come, connect with our church family, and hear about the God who chose us to be with him by coming to be with us.

     

    *Pray the Lord would give us opportunities to share with our friends about whom our faith, hope, and love come from.
