Dear Prayer Partners,

We are always thankful for your prayers.

The Lord has been blessing our ministries in Odessa. Let us share just a few of the many blessings in recent months.

Public Schools

We are continuously teaching the 11^th graders "Christian Ethics" at Public School No. 100.

From this November, the Lord opened a new door for us to a new school, Public School No.46. We started teaching children from 9^th to 11^th graders! Please pray so that we can clearly present the Gospel to those precious children at those schools.

We are also starting a "Soccor Club for children" at Public School No.46 from November 23. Please pray so that the Lord will bless and use this ministry to attract young people living around the school to come to us through this club so that we can share our testimonies and the Gospel with them.

Sunday morning Service and Wednesday Bible Study

We have been studying the Life of Joseph from the Book of Genesis since

September. The Lord has been blessing our Sunday School as well. On Wednesday evening, we have been studying the Doctrine of Christ from the Gospel of John. Please continue to pray for the spiritual growth of our believers.

We had a baptismal service on October 26^th and how wonderful it was to see these new believers make this commitment in their lives. We have individual Bible lessons with many unbelievers almost every day. Please pray so that many will come to Christ through these lessons.

Once again, we are so thankful for your prayers and financial support of our ministries here in Odessa. We are also praying for you. God bless you!

Masato, Miki and Yuki Funakoshi
