(suh-POHR-oh) – For the first time this year, the Sapporo team hosted a volunteer team of eight college students and two supervisors in May. They served across three university campuses, prayer walked, and partnered with a small local church for outreach events. The students offered brief English conversation times to connect with students and followed up with English café gatherings. They also led worship music for two Sundays, visited a senior citizens’ club to share about life in the New England region of the United States, and organized games in a local park to build relationships through English and shared fun. Pray for the many gospel seeds planted through university outreach, park activities, and church events, asking the Lord to bring fruit in His time. Ask Him to open additional ministry opportunities for the Sapporo team members as a result of this team’s involvement. Praise the Father for these young believers who sacrificially gave their time and financial resources to encourage the team and strengthen local churches.
