The Harrington Family
Chris & Leanne June 2023 Prayer Requests
*Recently, we have begun to be released from COVID restrictions. Which has given us new opportunities to gather with people we know and new acquaintances. At a recent BBQ, I was asked what love is and how I teach my children about love. Thank you, Lord, for giving me this seemingly random moment to share about him. Please pray for more surprise opportunities to share the truths God has given us in his word.
*Please also pray for our church plant. May the Lord give our pastor Satoshi Ueno wisdom on impacting Shichigahama for Christ. And for us as a team to unify around the vision he gives us as a church plant.
*Please pray for Leanne as she pursues two opportunities the Lord has recently brought her way. The first is a gathering of moms with young kids. One of the ways our church connects with the families in our area is through teaching English. We are purposeful in using English to bring people into a community with Christians. Leanne will be leading a little kids' English group. Through these gatherings, our pastor's wife and a couple of other missionaries can interact and connect with the moms.
The second opportunity is through a lady in our neighborhood. She has become friends with Leanne and asked if she would facilitate an informal English conversation group with other moms. We praise the Lord for the opportunities. Please pray for Leanne as she walks through these new open doors for relationships. May she share God's love in word and deed.
