2. Thank you for your prayers. We have filled out Matthew and the children’s visa-renewal. Please pray as we wait for it to go through. It should take 4 weeks.
3. Keswick Conference: 11–13 October. Please pray for the conference and especially for the children’s programme on 12 October, which Naomi will be running.

6. We have found a free Japanese lesson-class for Matthew. He has an interview on the 9th. Pray that the door will open up. It has been difficult to find a job with no Japanese. Pray that this language-study will be an opportunity to get to know people and open up doors to share the gospel.
